The Rinse Aid Cap is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is designed to cover and seal the rinse aid compartment, preventing leaks and ensuring the rinse aid is dispensed correctly during the wash cycle. Proper use of rinse aid improves drying performance and helps reduce water spots on dishes.
Causes of a bad rinse aid cap can include cracking or warping due to heat exposure, accidental damage from dropping or mishandling, or wear and tear from frequent use. A damaged or missing rinse aid cap can lead to leaks and inefficient use of rinse aid, affecting the dishwasher's performance.
Symptoms of a bad rinse aid cap include:
- Rinse aid leaks from the compartment
- Difficulty securing the cap in place
- Poor drying performance of dishes
- Water spots or streaks on dishes after washing
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
