The detergent cup would not latch closed
The repair was fairly simple. The hardest part was figuring out if this was the part I needed or not. After studying the inerds of the dishwasher door and the detergent cup mechanism, it seemed like this part would do the trick.
Here's how the mechanism works . . . the plastic stopper at the end of the bi-metallic strip lat ... Read more ches the detergent cup in place. If these strips are bent away from the spring mechanism / plastic cam enough, the stopper will not latch on the cam (as was the case with mine). So, I needed to replace the bi-metallic strip. This part comes along with a new cam and spring.
The actual replacement of the parts is simple. The parts come with pretty good installation instructions.
Good luck . . .

Detergent cup opens only half way.
First, let me say that the parts arrived really fast,--thnaks for the great service!
First I removed the screws inside the door edges. This releases the front door panels allowing access to the detergent cup parts. Then I removed the old cam return spring, the old cam (and the old spring underneath the cam) and the old bi-met ... Read more al switch. The instructions were pretty clear on how to install the new style return spring and new cam. Then I installed the new bi-metal switch.
Really, the hardest part of the whole repair is getting the door panels back in the proper place so that the screw holes are aligned. That probably took longer than the rest of the repair job.
The new parts have the detergent cup working like new again. Very satisfying repair!
