I ordered a new soap dispenser and began a new venture in repairing my dishwasher.
I turned off the breaker that suppled power to the unit.
I removed all the T-15 torx screws from the inside cover except one, which my wife helped me hold in. This prevents the cover from dropping off. Then, after removing those two, we closed the dishwasher cover, and lifted off the outside cover. That being off, I saw the two wires connecting the dishwasher dispenser solinoid. Removed them. Notice, that one of the wires has a black (or other color stripe). I was careful to replace that to the same spade of the new solinoid. Then, there is a metal bracket with screws. Remove them. To remove the soap dispenser, GENTLY, lift up on the plastic holding clip, and the dispenser will push to the inside. Remove, and clean off all around where the new dispenser will nest. Before you push in the new dispenser, check to see that the rubber gasket is seated in the dispenser all the way around the dispenser. This is very important, as I found, after installing mine, that the dispenser gasket was curled up a bit on one corner. I installed mine, and the dishwasher leaked. I had to take it off, and found this to be the problem. So, save yourself time, and trouble and give it a good inspection before pushing it into the inside panel.
Now, just install the bracket screws, and tighten them down snug. remember you are tightning down to plastic, so don't go crazy.
Replace the black plastic cover over the dispenser in the same position it came off. This protects the dispenser solinoid.
Replace the outside cover on the unit, and put in two screws to hold the cover on while you replace the remaining screws.
Don't forget to tell your wife or husband how special they are.
This project really was no problem, and I enjoyed doing it. ANYONE CAN DO THIS.
