Washing Machine Fabric Softener Dispenser

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Fabric Softener Dispenser is an OEM replacement part designed specifically for Whirlpool washing machines. Its function is to dispense the correct amount of liquid fabric softener during the rinse cycle, ensuring clothes are softened and protected.

Common issues with a fabric softener dispenser can arise from residue buildup causing clogs, cracks or openings in the plastic housing leading to leaks, and malfunctioning electronic components affecting the dispensing process.

The dispenser is white, with dimensions of approximately 4-1/2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height.

Signs of a faulty fabric softener dispenser include:

- Incorrect dispensing of fabric softener, leading to too much or too little being used
- Leaking or dripping from the dispenser housing
- The dispenser door or lid not functioning properly
- Liquids being dispensed at incorrect times during the wash cycle

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