WPW10629971 Whirlpool Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Assembly

Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Assembly

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brand names, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Whirlpool detergent dispenser is an OEM replacement part, specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is located on the inner door panel and is responsible for holding and releasing detergent or pods at the correct point in the wash cycle. As the dishwasher runs, water enters the dispenser to dissolve the detergent, after which the dispenser door opens to release it into the wash water.

This dispenser is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand dishwashers.

Common issues this part addresses include:

- The detergent door not opening during the wash cycle, leaving detergent undissolved in the dispenser
- A stuck or jammed detergent dispenser door, which prevents detergent release
- Detergent leaking or dripping from the dispenser onto the dishwasher door or interior
- Difficulty in properly latching or closing the detergent dispenser door
