The Dispenser is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for releasing detergent and rinse aid during the washing cycle. This dispenser ensures that the right amount of cleaning agents is dispensed at the appropriate times, contributing to effective cleaning and rinsing of your dishes.
Causes of a bad dispenser can include clogging due to detergent buildup, mechanical failure of the dispenser door or latch, or electronic malfunction that prevents proper operation. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues, but over time, parts may still wear out and need replacement.
Symptoms of a bad dispenser include:
- Improper dispensing of detergent or rinse aid
- Dishwasher leaving spots or residue on dishes
- Dispenser door not opening during the cycle
- Leaks or drips from the dispenser area
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

I do the repair myself, saving at least a hundred dollars in a repair persons service call charge! While this repair was for my dishwasher, I've also fixed my washing machine, dryer, and steam humidifier.
