I checked for anything simple like a stickly door release latch, lumpy dishwasher soap. That doesn't seem to be the problem. I am guessing a faulty dispenser door solenoid but before I start taking the thing apart, I and asking the forum for the most likely failures with this type of problem. Any and all info and experiences are really appreciated. I'd rather learn from your experiences rather than me stumble down the wrong path and make things worse. ARGH! This is my first post and I got the model number wrong and can't figure out how to edit the model number. IT is model KUDP01ILBL3 (I transposed the D and P on the original info. Sorry for the error.
