WP8540402 Whirlpool Drawer

The Dispenser Drawer for Whirlpool Washing Machines serves as a compartment for storing and releasing detergent, fabric softener, and bleach at necessary intervals during the wash cycle. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is compatible with a variety of brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Roper, as well as some models from Kenmore and Sears.

Common issues with detergent drawers may stem from the accumulation of detergent residues, overloading, or regular wear and tear.
