The Rinse Aid Cap is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is designed to securely cover the rinse aid dispenser, ensuring the proper release of rinse aid during the wash cycle to improve drying performance and prevent water spots on dishes.
Causes of a bad rinse aid cap can include wear and tear over time, damage from accidental mishandling, or loss of the cap. Without a properly functioning cap, the rinse aid may not dispense correctly.
Symptoms of a bad rinse aid cap include:
- Rinse aid leaking or not dispensing
- Water spots or streaks on dishes after drying
- The cap not fitting securely or being visibly damaged
- The rinse aid compartment remaining full or not using rinse aid as expected
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Drying agent cap/lid was broken Prachi B. • Concord , CA • December 05, 2014
The drying agent lid was broken for a couple years now and our dishes would never dry completely. We finally decided to google for Kenmore parts and this website came up. Couldn't believe how easy it was. All we had to do was find the brand and model number and all the parts showed up on Appliancepartspros.com website. We scanned thru the list found the lid and ordered. It arrived within 2 days. Viola!!
Now we wish we had done this much earlier. Thank you for such a smooth experience.
