The only difficultpart was to figure out how to remove the stainless cover from the door. Seems it slides upwards after screws are removed. After that it is self explainatory and goes back together in 5 minutes.

Needed to replace detergent / rinse aid dispenser unit on the inside top of door.

1) Need to remove outer door cover / panel by removing just two (2) screws - bottom screws on lower side panel. Door panel will drop vertically 1" to remove it.

2) Mark and disconnect the four (4) wires connected to the dispenser unit. The connections were so tight, it required pliers and a screw driver to loosen them.

3) Dispenser unit has four (4) screws holding it in place. Unscrew them and remove unit through door interior - this requires a bit of angling to get it out.

4) Position new unit through interior. Screw in place.

5) Re-attach four (4) wires in same sequence as disconnected.

6) Re-attach outer door cover. This is the most difficult part and really requires two people. It consistents of two sets of guide channels that most be aligned for the door panel to be secured re-attached.. Once aligned, the door cover must be moved vertically about an 1" and the screws re-attached.

After turning of the power to dishwasher, I opened the door took of the two bottom screws on both sides of door. Closed the door and front panel just slide off. Then I took a picture of the dispenser to make use I could figure out how to put the wiring back together. Removed the six screws holding it in place and popped the dispenser out. Easy .. popped new dispenser in and lightly put all six screws back in ,wired it back up after checking my photo. Closed the door ,slid front panel back on opened the door put the 4 screws back in that hold the front panel .Turned power back on and Boom!! All done.. Not bad for a girl...

removed the screws holding the door together, then removed the screws holding the dispenser to the interior door. replaced the wires and put the door back together

The video show a different model, the only difference is that the screws for the top part shouldn't be removed only the ones that hold the front. Replace the detergent dispenser once the cover is removed is easy. All works like brand new. Thanks.

I removed and replacing the old dispenser.
This is located in the front door - dispenses both detergent and rinse agent - 2 compartments.

Requires disassembling the front door, removing the old dispenser, and installing the new dispenser, then re-assembling the door.

Open the front door
Place a folded blanket or large pillow on the floor in front of the dishwasher.

Open the front door, so it resting on the blanket or pillow.
Remove the (12) star screws.
This will drop the front of the door onto the blanket or pillow.

Note:
As you remove the screws, the inner part of the door will attempt to close abruptly, because of the hinge springs, and the reduction in door weight, so be cautious.
There are several wire connections between the the 2 door sections.
Note that the latch assembly at the top of the door will fall out.

Slowly close the inner door, while lifting the outer door at the same time, and setting the outer door vertically.

Close the inner door section, while setting the outer section vertically. Having two people is helpful here.
Disconnect the 4 wires going to the dispenser - note the color and position of each wire before pulling.
The connectors have a release, so squeezing each connector is need for it to come off.

Remove the 6 Philips screws from the dispenser.
Pull the old dispenser out from the interior of the inner door section.
Install the new dispenser. Screw into place.
Reattach the 4 wires.

Reverse the door sections re-assembly.

First I cut the breaker power to the kitchen, then I opened the washer door. There are four screws that line the inside of the door. The bottom two (the ones closer to the inside of the washer) needed to be unscrewed. Once this is done, you can then close the washer back and begin pulling downward on the metal sheet part.

This dislodged the door to which I then could see the Dispenser. I first unhooked the two sets of electrical wiring hooked into the dispenser (four different plugs in total). I made sure to note which was which, and in what order they plugged into the Dispenser. Next, I unscrewed the 6 bolts that latched the Dispenser to the door-frame and sat it aside. I reopened the washer to inspect the inner side where the original Dispenser gasket would have set. This area was dirty and needed a proper cleaning, then I returned the washer door to a closed position.

I housed the new Dispenser in place, making sure the gasket seal was properly tight as I screwed the 6 bolts back in equally until snug. To wrap up Dispenser repair I plugged the four electrical wires back in and slid the door back onto the frame. The door was difficult to get back into place, note the latches and areas of plastic and metal that need to come together. Once in place, you can open the door again (holding onto the metal part of the door to keep it in place) and return the 2 screws to hold the door on again.

I then reached inside and grasped the upper spray arm housing (the arm was missing in my case, and only the housing remained). I unscrewed the old housing until it was free, then screwed the new upper spray arm into place. Once that was complete, I closed the washer back up tight and flipped the breaker back on and inspected the digital screen for any oddities.

That wrapped up my repair!
