WPW10224430 Whirlpool Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser

Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser. This unit comes complete with a cap and manages both detergent and rinse aid distribution. It fits a range of Whirlpool brand dishwashers, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper, as well as Admiral. Additionally, it is compatible with certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it plays a crucial role in the dishwasher's functionality by ensuring the correct release of cleaning agents at the appropriate times during the wash cycle, which is essential for achieving optimal cleaning results.

Common reasons for dispenser issues can be internal cracks due to frequent usage, blockages from mineral deposits, or electrical faults that interrupt the release mechanism.

If you notice any of the following, it might indicate a problem with the dispenser:
- Detergent remains undispensed after a cycle
- Variability in rinse aid dispensing or leaks
- The dispenser door is jammed or does not open properly

This OEM part is designed to fit seamlessly with various models from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore dishwashers.
