I have cleaned the soap dispenser door seal.
Whirlpool dishwashers use a wax motor or a solinoid to release the door at a specific time during the cycle. So for proper cleaning the soap cup is nessesary . The part isn't that expensive and fairly simple repair.
First, test the dispenser by closing and latching the door Closed.
Then trip the trigger using your finger. Does the door snap open?
IF it did, run the dishwasher after relatching the dispenser door and run a short cycle without detergent in the cup.
If the door is open at the end of the run, it's your detergent acting
like glue. Switch to Finish Brand PowerBall.
Works well if loaded in to your silverware basket, saving you the expense of replacing a defective dispenser or worst the control.
