The door will not open on the powdered soap dispenser. This to me, looks like a manufacturers defect. Would love to know if other people have the same problem. The powdered soap is left in a cake in the holder as the door that opens to dispense hits against the rack and cannot open properly.
The soap door doesn't open fully on that model, and usually flips fully open as you open the dishwasher door.
It relies on the top spray arm turning to 'wash' the soap out of the drawer - and that will be the problem.The spray arm isn't turning.
Check the spray arm for blocked jets at the very end - use a pin to clear them out, or replace them - check both spray arms. Make sure the spray arm rotates freely also.
Remember the dishwasher isn't a garbage disposal unit - remove food deposits from plates etc before loading the machine. Run a dishwasher cleaner through the machine now and then. Food like pasta, or fruit pips often get carried to the end of spray arms and block them.
If using a 30 min rapid wash program ONLY and dishwasher tablets, put the tab in the cutlery basket as it wont have time to dissolve fully if you put it in the dispenser.

I would suggest that you either have a problem with low water level therefore the top spray arm is not functioning correctly ie: water pressure in the area, inlet valve
or there is a problem with the rotation of the top spray are ie: blockage, restriction, spray arm bearings.
I hope this helps

The problem was evident during short cycle (primary cycle used) and changing to regular cycle used and back to short cycle seems to have corrected problem.

Use gel run a few cycles and help clear and then don't overfill w gel soap

Either your dishwasher is not getting the water hot enough to dissolve the powder, or you need to switch brands. Try a liquid/gel type of dishwasher detergent.
Try stopping the washer a few minutes after you start a wash cycle. Open the door -- if there is a lot of steam coming out at you, it's not the water temperature. If there is no steam, your dishwasher is not getting hot water and/or the heating coil is not working.
