W11318806 Whirlpool Dispenser Metering Pump

The Whirlpool Dispenser Metering Pump is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed for use in Whirlpool washing machines. This part is responsible for dispensing laundry detergent at specific intervals throughout the wash cycles. The Whirlpool brand encompasses several other appliance names including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

A malfunctioning metering pump can be due to several issues such as worn-out gears, seals, or valves, which may cause incorrect detergent dispensing. Over time, mineral deposits or internal clogs can also impair the pump's function.

Indications of a faulty metering pump include uneven or incomplete dispensing of detergent, detergent residues remaining in the drawer post-wash, and clothes not being thoroughly cleaned due to inadequate detergent release. This OEM part is also suitable for use with various other brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
