Product review (5 stars): READ FIRST - IMPORTANT
FIVE STARS for this product and the seller.  ZERO STARS for this line of Whirlpool/Kenmore dishwashers.

I removed the front cover. That is when I saw the wiring harness was disconnected.  I plugged it back in.  The original dispenser was not broken.  This situation is the result of sloppy assembly or a design defect.  STRIKE ONE.

Another issue with this dishwasher is the control panel.  It uses soft touch switches to control various functions.  Basically, these are little circles labeled start, stop, etc., on a flat plastic panel.  Well, the circles crack and pop up after only a couple of years.  This exposes the circuits underneath to water and other contaminants.  How long should this last?  I have a GE microwave with a similar panel.  No problems after 20 years.  STRIKE TWO.

I have worked for and with several well-known electronics companies (not appliances).  The flat plastic piece with the circles is called an overlay.  These could be ordered for other products for two bucks.  They are held on with adhesive.  Pull the old one off.  Remove the backing from the new one, align, and press in place.  Not Whirlpool!  I even contacted the corporate offices.  The overlay is not sold separately.  It is part of the Control Panel Assembly.  So, to replace the overlay you must replace all the circuits, pc boards, and wiring even if they are all still working.  The cost?  North of $250.  And the new one has the same design flaw.  I use clear packing tape to seal the broken panel.  Never again.  STRIKE THREE WHIRLPOOL.
