This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
Appeared to be two problems: the latch was worn and one of the pins that slid in a guide on the actuator located in the inner panel had broke off. Detergent lid spring and pin appeared to be OK but decided to replace since I was aready working on it. I ordered all the inner panel mechanism from the control arm to the latch actuator on the inner panel. The repair was successful as the detergent dispenser now opens during its cycle. Read more
Dispenser not opening or leaking rinse aid down the door? This assembly restores proper detergent release. Most DIYers complete installation in 30-60 minutes.
I ordered a new vario motor and a soap dispenser. I turned off the water and the breaker, disconnected the water line and the power at the front base of the unit, disconnected the drain hose from the garbage dispenser, and pulled out the dishwasher and laid it on a blanket on its face. I unscrewed and removed the plainly visible vario motor on the bottom of the machine and removed the cam from the shaft. I then used a needle nose plier to carefully turn the D-shaft on the new motor to exactly... Read more

The cover was easy to remove with 3 star head screws. I entered my model number on AppliancePartsPros.com dreading the cost I was about the encounter. However, the parts were very cheap, in stock, and shipped within an hour of my order. I had a question about the tracking number and received an email back in less than an hour. The cost for both parts and standard shipping was under $30. Once I received the parts, the new cover was installed, the rest of the assembly was put back back... Read more
Fixes spotty dishes and rinse aid leaks. This reservoir holds and releases rinse agent during the final cycle. Quick DIY repair with video guide.
Repair parts arrived super fast. Installed the new parts according to the supplied instructions. All went well. It took over 2 hours because the unit had to be removed after the water and power were disconnected and then the initial problem diagnosed (motor brushes worn beyond service limits). The removal of the spray bar tower assembly was a challenge until it was discovered that the tower unscrews in a CW direction from the bar that then allowed access to the attachment screw that holds that...

Soap dispenser door won't latch or detergent stays in compartment? This dishwasher dispenser assembly releases detergent at the right time. Moderate DIY.
Looked online for a replacement soap dispenser. Found one on several sites but The A.P.P. site showed the part on a Parts breakdown page and showed the part item number. and the actual part number.

The fix was attaching the brackets to the cabinet and screwing it to the countertop. Also just popping the screw covers... Read more
