Go to www.sears.com and put in your model number and look at the break down in the door section to see what parts go to the soap door, or see if you can do that here on this site, make a note of all of the part numbers, and then order them here.  In the mean time jog to the store and get you some of those D/W soap tabs that you just throw into the dishwasher tub and turn her on.  No biggie with this malfunction.  Lots of people do this because their soap disp is broken and gets them by till can get it fixed.  We have a brand new W/P Gold Tall Tub that I just throw those tab into the tub because is lots easier than messing with the soap thingie.......they work just as good as dispensing soap the real way..

those springs are truly an exercise in futility even for the most seasoned techs- don't feel bad,just look carefully at the spring and try and see in your minds eye how it must wind up and the 2 sharp ends of the springhold the door up,while the flat loop in the middle rests on the bump above the cup-i have found some luck with first winding the spring while holding the square shaped part with a finger-then using my trusty pocket terminal driver,hold both ends of the spring,and at the same time,guiding the pin into the notches in the door. you need about 6 hands for this operation,a dreaded task to put it simply- definitely have a 24 on ice to celebrate the completion of this ditty!!   take a deep breath,hold your tounge right and above all,have patience and don't give up  :P
