WPW10352973 Whirlpool Washing Machine Dispenser Actuator

The Washing Machine Dispenser Actuator is a genuine OEM part designed for various Whirlpool models, including brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it fits appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea names. This component plays a crucial role in managing the timing and release of detergent and fabric softener during the laundry cycle.

Common issues with a malfunctioning dispenser actuator stem from regular wear and tear, accumulation of detergent residues, or electrical malfunctions in the actuator itself. When the actuator malfunctions, it can lead to interruptions in the washing cycle and prevent the washing machine from dispensing cleaning agents effectively.

Indicators of a faulty dispenser actuator include:

- Failure to dispense detergent or fabric softener
- Error codes displayed on the washer related to the dispensing function
- Irregular or sporadic dispensing
- Odd sounds during the dispensing process

This OEM part is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Addressing issues with this part can resolve problems such as the machine failing to fill with water.
