I have a 2 yr. old KitchenAid KUDPQ2 built-in and often the soap dispenser lid won't open so no detergent gets into the cycle. I'm careful not to block it with dishes when it closes but it's very frustrating and unpredictable. Soap is left in the dispenser, it looks like it just dribbles down the door onto the plates and sits there. Dishes are still dirty and now also coated with white soap!

I took the door apart and found the degertent door solinoid looking like it over heated and melted to the cover flap and the insulation. See picture. I can't post pic as the max is 150kb.
I applied power and it only got hot and wouldn't operate.
Next I go to Kitchenaid for a replacement - FREE it should be.
