WP8066018 Whirlpool Dishwasher Soap Cup Spring

The Dishwasher Soap Cup Spring is a genuine OEM replacement part suitable for various Whirlpool dishwasher models. This component is essential for the proper functioning of the detergent dispenser, as it aids in opening the cover of the soap compartment when activated by the dishwasher's control system. If you experience issues with your dishwasher not releasing detergent, or if the dispenser door is stuck or the spring appears damaged, replacing this part may resolve the problem.

To replace the spring, start by using needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the dispenser cover from the hinge shaft. Next, extract the old spring by pulling the shaft sideways. Install the new spring by hooking its ends onto the soap cover. Ensure the spring is securely attached by pulling the hook over the tab located on the wash cup side. For detailed instructions tailored to your specific model, please consult the dishwasher's manual. This replacement spring is compatible with several Whirlpool brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper.
