The Dispenser Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for holding and releasing detergent and rinse aid during the wash cycle, ensuring dishes come out clean and spotless. This assembly is designed to fit seamlessly into the dishwasher's detergent compartment, coordinating with the dishwasher’s cycles for optimal performance.

Over time, the dispenser assembly can suffer from wear and tear, clogs, or damage to its components. Such issues can impede the proper dispensing of cleaning agents, negatively affecting the dishwasher's cleaning efficacy.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser assembly include:

Detergent or rinse aid not dispensing properly
The dispenser door not opening or closing correctly
Residual detergent left in the dispenser after the wash cycle
Leaks from the dispenser area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Cliff September 02, 2014 for Model Number MDB8959AWBO

My rinse dispenser still shows full and glasses are not cleaning. One of the 3 corners of the cap where you fill it are melted off but I can lock it still. There is something that turns under there maybe that's the problem? It has been working for months since the cap was damaged. This is a recent problem.

1 Answer

Hello Cliff, The turnable ring inside is an adjustment that determines the amount of rinse aid that will be dispensed per cycle. It should be set between 1 1/2 and 2 but never higher than 2. The reason is that rinse aid foams and a setting over 2 will cause a foaming situation that is often mistaken for an over soap situation. As for your issue, I would recommend replacing the dispenser assembly WPW10199696 since it has damage to it and cannot be verified to be operating properly. If the problem persists, the issue will be in the control WPW10285179.

Bill January 14, 2014 for Model Number MDB7749AWQ2

My dishwasher detergent door doesn't open and stays closed during the entire cycle. The detergent door latch and spring appear s to be operational. My research suggests the wax motor needs to be replaced. On my model, do I need to replace the whole detergent panel (W10199696) or can I replace the wax motor only? If only the wax motor, what is the part #?

1 Answer

Hello Bill. You must replace the dispenser assembly for the wax motor.

Alain L June 08, 2013 for Model Number GU3200XTSQ1

My soap dispenser door open as soon I close the dishwasher door and that I can hear a click then I hear click again as it try to always open the dispenser door. I have the panel open and I can see the mechanism always trying to open the dispenser door as soon I close the dishwasher door. Would you have an idea of the problem. Everything else is working fine.

1 Answer

Alain, You will want to check to see if the dispenser is getting power to the solenoid that opens the detergent dispenser. If it is getting power before it is supposed to then the issue would be a bad control board or wiring for the dispenser. If not then the dispenser is faulty and would need to be replaced.

Donald E March 30, 2013 for Model Number Maytag dishwasher

The door for the deteergent was knocked off, I have put it back on but it no longer springs open which causes the detergent to not all come out. Is their a spring that needs to be replaced? Or is this something that I will have to replace the entire dispenser.

1 Answer

Donald, Unfortunately you will have to replace the entire dispenser assembly as the spring that goes on the door would not be a separate part.
