WPW10304410 Whirlpool Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser

Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper. They also produce products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Whirlpool detergent dispenser is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is located on the inner door panel of the dishwasher and is responsible for holding and releasing detergent or dishwasher pods at the appropriate time during the wash cycle. As the machine runs, water enters the dispenser, dissolving the detergent, and the dispenser door then opens to release it into the wash water.

This dispenser is compatible with several brands, such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

Common issues that 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.
- Problems with latching or closing the detergent dispenser door properly.
