Highly impressed
I called your customer service line late in the evening to find out what dispenser would fit my model as my unit was not listed on the website. To my surprise, you were open and assisted me right away! I ordered the part that same evening and it was delivered within 2 days. Highly impressed with the initial call, fast delivery and the part itself. Not overly difficult to instal either. We will order parts again when needed!

good part but...
part was good and it came quickly, but... watch out for the sharp edges of the door panel where it attaches. I ended up with stitches after slicing my thumb open trying to get the old part off. In the end, it works great though

Just the door and spring was needed
The soap dispenser door with the spring should be sold separately instead of forcing customers to buy the entire detergent dispensing mechanism which is expensive. I suspect the door and spring mechanism breaking is an issue with this model since someone took the time to record a video on UTube showing how to replace it. In the video you can see that the door and spring came in it’s own sealed plastic sleeve. So why is this not available?

Detergent door was not locking closed
Super simple.
Remove all screws around the stainless metal shroud inside the door. DONT remove the hinge screws.
Torx bit required.
Unplug detergent dispenser and place outer door assembly aside. Dispenser has small clips holding it in, top, bottom and sides I believe. Push these in, dispenser falls out into dishwasher.
Insert new unit, reverse all steps. Done.
Dont for get to reattach the wires!

Detergent dispenser latch broken
Replaced the detergent dispenser module by first unscrewing the front outer cover from the dishwasher and removing it, then by unplugging the old detergent dispenser, then by bending the metal latch clips outward to remove the old detergent dispenser, then by bending the metal latch clips inward before inserting the new detergent dispenser, plugging the new one into the wiring harness then re-securing the front outer cover of the dishwasher door.
This repair could be done in under 15 minutes but my dishwasher is so old that there was a lot of gunk built-up around the screws that hold the front cover on that I wanted to take my time cleaning up real nice.
The detergent dispenser is VITAL for getting dishes clean. Without it working properly, the detergent will be removed from the wash during the pre-wash/soak function and your dishes will not come out clean. I HIGHLY recommend doing this repair if your detergent dispenser is not working, and I had a great experience with www.PartSelect.com

Upper rack adjuster broke on one side. Detergent dispenser slide cover broke.
Replaced upper rack adjuster on both sides as these adjusters seem brittle due to heated drying over years. Followed YouTube video for repair. Very easy to fix.
Replaced the detergent dispenser on the door. Followed YouTube video with slight modification given moderate difference in model on video and my model. Relatively easy repair that takes a little bit of time.

Replacing the soap/rinse dispensing module in front door of dishwasher
1. Remove front of door with torx screws around inside top and sides of door.
2. Unclip and remove plug with two wires for dish soap solenoid. You may have to lie on your back or use a mirror to see the location of the small clip retaining the plug.
3. Unclip and remove dispenser module. Here's the rub: the clips used to retain the unit in the door panel of my dishwasher are tabs cut in the stainless steel cut-out and rolled back at a 90 degree angle to retain their springiness. They seat against the back edge of three plastic ridges along the top, bottom and one along each side of the dispenser module. The key is to remove the module without permanently bending these tabs, thereby losing their springiness and destroying their ability to clip tight against the new module to hold it in. I had some success slipping 3 pieces of flashing under the stainless tabs along the top and sides of the old module, allowing the plastic retaining ridges to ride under the tabs all together and move forward to disengage the clips without permanently bending the tabs.
4. Reassembly is just the reverse.

Worn out detergent dispenser
Total repair time after watching videos was 53 minutes. I estimate I saved between $200 to $300 by doing this myself. If you have any DIY skills, don't hesitate to replace the detergent dispenser yourself.

The spring for the sliding soap dispenser door had broken. Will i need to replace the entire dispenser or can i just get a new spring? If i do need to replace the dispenser, is this something that i can do myself or does it require a technician? If i can do it myself, are there directions on this site or with the part that can guide me through the process?
For model number WDT780SAEM2
Hi Cynthia,
Thank you for your inquiry. The spring is sold with the dispenser. You should be able to to do the repair yourself. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to install the dispenser. You will find the video under part number PS11746408. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Reference part# w10861000, soap dispenser ---- the gasket for the dispenser has come loose twice. Do i need a new dispenser? What causes the gasket to come loose?? thank you.
For model number KDTM404EBL1
Hi Gary,
Thank you for your inquiry. The gasket for the dispenser is not sold separately and you would need to replace the dispenser in order to get a new gasket. From information I have reviewed, you may also be able to use some gasket cement to keep the gasket in place. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Is there a "dishwasher soap and rinse aid door replacement kit" for this model? Or do I need to purchase the entire soap dispenser?

The issue that I have with the soap dispenser relates to the door only and not the entire dispenser. There is a u-tube video dated 11/16/2016 that indicates that there is now a "dishwasher soap and rinse aid door replacement kit" which provides the door assembly and spring only and that the door can simply be snapped off and replaced without having to replace the entire dispenser. I could purchase the entire dispenser, but the door and spring assembly are supposedly available separately as a kit. Can you provide the part number for the kit so I can avoid buying the entire dispenser [part w10861000]
For model number KDTM354DSS4
Hi Ken, Thank you for the question. The kit only works on particular model numbers, checking the model number provided they do not offer the kit for the door and spring. This model only offers the full dispenser. Hope this helps!

I have a question in reference to part #w10861000. The gasket has come off my dishwasher's soap dispenser, and i do not know how to replace it. It appears to be in good condition and i do not want to buy a whole new dispenser just because the gasket came loose. Any tips? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for your inquiry. The detergent dispenser gasket is not sold separately and is sold with the dispenser. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

What is the return policy? If we replace the soap dispenser and the dishwasher still does not work, can we return it.
For model number kdte104ess
Hi Karan, thank you for your question. We have a 30 day Return Policy. More information can be found here: https://www.partselect.com/Thirty-Day-Returns.htm.

Please inspect part before removing from its packaging, as this can cause return to be rejected. - Electrical parts are subject to additional scrutiny. - Rejected returns cannot be shipped back to customers. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The spring in my soap dispenser door came out but is not broken. Can i reinstall the spring? If so, what do i need to do to access the inside of the sliding door without breaking it. Thanks

Just moved in and have this Electrolux. Need to know what the small "latch" on the detergent & the Jet dry door does.
For model number KDFE104DSS5
Hello Marie,
Thank you for your question. The latch keeps the cover on the dispenser secure while it dispenses during the wash. We hope this helps!

I need to replace the soap dispenser door on my dishwasher. There is a youtube video dated 11/16/2016 that indicates that a "dishwasher soap and rinse aid door replacement kit" is now available. I have looked through the Whirlpool parts for this piece and didn't see it. Can you tell me if this is available for my model, and if so provide the part number for the kit, so i can possibly avoid replacing the entire dispenser? Thanks!
For model number WDF760SADT2
Hello Christy, Thank you for your inquiry. Only the full dispenser is available for your model. Hope this helps!
