High Quality
This replacement part did come in perfect brand new condition. By the look of it, it is the expected high quality as the original one. I only have it for about 2 months so I cannot tell how durable it may be, but I do expect it to last for years.

Video made it easy
Correct part (a little pricey, but cheaper than a new dishwasher!) arrived quickly, and with the video to follow, removing and replacing the old part was pretty straightforward. It did help to have an extra pair of hands when re-attaching the outer door panel, just to hold it in place while putting in the first few screws. Otherwise, a piece of cake. One thing: my issue was that the soap dispenser door would not stay closed after loading the detergent. This part fixed the problem, but...once I had finished the job, I took a close look at the old part and was able to see why the dispenser door was not working properly. It was a simple matter of snapping a small piece back into place and the part worked as designed again. Up to you if you want to check that out before you buy or install a new part. Good luck.

Excellent delivery in one day!
The detergent dispenser was very easy to replace in the dishwasher and anyone else can do that without difficulty except two tiny screws which fell out of the dispenser easily. Had to use a magnetic screwdriver to drive, though. Thank you very much for the wonderful rush delivery!

latch on dispenser cover broke
Printed door assembly parts list and photo from KitchenAid website. (With the absence of instructions, it was a big help.) Remove door cover. You'll need a star driver bit. Remove the old dispenser. Note how the metal clamp and black cover sheet are positioned. Install the new dispenser. Insure the wiring harness is snapped in place. Replace the door cover. Not difficult; just some patience. One more hint ... be careful when taking the door cover off and you won't have to disconnect any other wiring.

Dishwasher dispenser did not open
Before starting the repair, I turned off electrical power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker.
Instructions for removing the door cover panel were included in my dishwasher installation manual. The instructions were in a section for adding a custom door panel. For my dishwasher, this only required removing six screws using a Torx (star shaped) driver, size T15. I found it possible to support the door cover by myself with a knee under one side and one hand wrapped around the opposite side, but another person would be helpful.
The electrical connector to the dispenser has a small tab to lock it in place. I gently pried the tab back a *little* and pulled out the connector.
There are six screws holding the dispenser in place. In this case, they were 5mm hex head screws. The screws hold a metal bracket in place and a vinyl flap is sandwiched between the bracket and the inner door panel. The vinyl flap has three holes, with two of the screws passing through the left and right holes, and the middle hold goes over a plastic tab on the dispenser.
After removing the bracket and vinyl flap, I found that there were two metal tabs holding the dispenser in place. These tabs are part of the door sheet metal. Gently prying them back a *little* released the dispenser (which would have fallen out if I hadn’t kept a hand on it).
I pushed the new dispenser through the opening until it clicked into place with the metal door tabs holding it. Then I put the vinyl flap in place with the middle hole over the plastic tab on top of the dispenser, and put the metal bracket over that and attached with the hex head screws.
Next, I reconnected the electrical wire to the dispenser, installed the door cover panel, turned on power at the circuit breaker, and tried a wash cycle. The new dispenser works great!

Spring on soap dispenser failed + jetdry cap melted
To replace the soap dispenser you need to take off the front of the door, which requires removing about 12 torx screws - of 2 different lenghths (so keep track). Then the soap dispenser is held in place with 6 very small 4mm hex screws (why they used these instead of normal phillips??). Both my hex sets stopped at 5mm, so I had to go get one. Tool has to be narrow (not one that is flared) because the clearance between the screws and the unit is very tight. There is one small two-wire connector with a press-in connector that at first looked hard to pry off, but just grab it with channel-lock and it will just come off. Remember which way the wires are facing (ie. up or down). Be sure to note how the vinyl flap (that covers the back of the dispenser) attaches, then pull out the old one. Once the new one is in, the hardest part is putting the door cover back on. I'd advise having an extra set of hands. Made it much easier.

The latch to the soap dispenser appeared to break. The latch was found on the floor.
After I took apart the inside of the door, removing 12 star screws, I was able to see the inside of the automatic soap dispenser device. Since I now had the new device to look at, I was able to replace the latch pin back in the existing device and it worked!
I now have a replacement if the device actually breaks in the future and looking at the small plastic pieces, it will probably happen sooner or later.

The soap dispenser would not work
After reading other posts I opened the dishwasher door put a support underneath it. Knowing that all the screws were not the same I carefully unscrewed them and placed them on a towel in order of extraction. After all the screws were taken out, I lifted the door up gently and lifted it out of its place and put it aside. Now I could see the hex screws holding in the soap dispenser. I then unscrewed the screws and place the frame aside. Next I gently pulled the electrical connector to the dispensing unit off. After locating a snap tab on top on the left hand side and one underneath on the right hand side, I gently lifted the tab and the dispenser unit moved slightly forward. After gently prying the lower tab on the right hand side the dispensing unit was loose. I just reversed the process to put things back together. I was not necessary to have any help taking things apart but it was very helpful having a second set of hands when we put it back together. Lining up the screws for the door was much easier with two people. After installation, I started the dishwasher to check for leaks. Everything was fine. Very satisfied to be able to repair/replace this unit without calling a tech. If you can change a spark plug on a lawnmower you can replace a soap dispenser on a dishwasher such as mine. Very quick delivery from parts source. Thank you.

Is it possible to order just the little latch on the detergent dispenser or do you have to order the whole system?
Hi Justin,
Thank you for your inquiry. The latch for the detergent dispenser is not sold separately. The part is sold with the dispenser. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

For this model it seems that the "top" screws holding the control panel must be removed to get the door cover off. Instead of leaving them in and only removing the 3 "bottom"screws on each side as shown in the video. Is that correct?

This video is incorrect for models with controls on the top edge of the door. I have removed the 6 suggested screws, and it's evident that more need to be remover. Which ones?
For model number MDB8959AWS4
Hello Greg, thank you for your question. We would recommend removing any other screws you see around the edge of the door. Also look for screws in the top corners. I hope this helps.

This dispenser was replaced in 2019 as it would not stay latched. The new dispenser leaks out the finish aid product with every wash. What is the life of this part? My dishwasher is 27 years old but has always worked until these issues. What do you recommend.?
For model number KUDS301VBL3
Hi Barbara. We do not have an estimated life of the dispenser. We do however have a one year warranty on our parts. I would replace it with PS11750167. The reviews are great as well.Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
