WP22002119 Whirlpool Wax Motor Actuator

The Wax Motor Actuator is a genuine replacement part suitable for select older Whirlpool washing machine models. It is approximately two inches in length and functions as a dispenser actuator motor. This motor efficiently directs water to the compartments for detergent, fabric softener, and bleach by attaching to the top of the dispenser. The inclusion of wax in the motor's design helps in minimizing noise and vibration, thereby enhancing the motor's quietness and efficiency.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

To ensure the wax motor is functioning correctly, perform a test by checking for a 120 VAC supply to the motor during the detergent cup's activation phase. If the motor receives power but fails to operate, it indicates a malfunction and necessitates a replacement. As this part is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement, it is crafted to match the original design and specifications of the washing machine.

This wax motor is particularly relevant if your washing machine is experiencing issues with draining.
