Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser (Part Number: OEM18052083)

1 Answer

Hello David, You will just need to plug the two wires in individually. The polarity of the connection does not matter so you can connect the wires two wires in either location and it will operate the same. If you need the spade connectors for the end of the wires you can order TJMA02875-1.

Hello John, If the unit is not being loaded where anything is in the way of the detergent door during the units' operation, you can test the voltage to the detergent door at the appropriate time by the tech sheet. If voltage is getting there, replace the detergent dispenser assembly WPW10224430. If not, replace the control board WPW10084141.

Hello Chris, I'm sorry but the manufacturer does not consider this a serviceable part. For this reason, they do not sell individual parts for the dispensers' repair. You can only purchase the dispenser WPW10224430 as an assembly.

Bill, the dispenser part number [KUDI02IRWH1] is the correct replacement listed for your model KUDI02IRWH1. Thanks!

Alan for Model Number KUDP02SRBT2

Interestingly, this dispenser can be mounted in two positions in the door frame 180 degrees rotated from each other. The drawing shows the dispenser door opening from the bottom and "flipping" up to dispense the detergent when the door is in a closed position. I assume this is the correct position? Also, the parts diagram shows a different orientation for the solenoid on the Kitchenaid part than on the whirlpool 10224430, although I doubt this makes a difference.

1 Answer

Alan, Yes the orientation of the dispenser is where the dispenser door will flip upward when it opens. The location of the solenoid will have no effect on operation of the unit.

Chu, Yes, you will need to order the dispenser assembly WPW10224430 in order to replace the solenoid, the component is sold as a single unit. Before you replace the dispenser, check and make sure there are no loose or crossed wires, from when you replaced the control panel.
