The Dispenser Drawer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component holds and dispenses laundry detergent, fabric softener, and bleach into the washer during the appropriate cycle. It ensures accurate distribution of cleaning agents, contributing to effective washing performance.
Symptoms of a bad Dispenser Drawer include:
- Detergent, bleach, or fabric softener not dispensing properly
- Residue buildup in the drawer after the cycle
- The drawer being stuck, difficult to open or close, or visibly damaged
Causes of a failing Dispenser Drawer can include clogs from detergent residue, warping or cracking from long-term use, or mechanical issues with the drawer’s sliding mechanism. Regular cleaning can help prevent issues but eventual wear may require replacement.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
