Whirlpool Dishwasher Dispenser Parts

Replacement dishwasher housing assembly that encloses internal components and aligns panels. Use to replace cracked, warped, or damaged housings.

This wet agent dispenser replaces the washer's liquid fabric softener dispenser to restore proper dispensing during the rinse cycle. It helps keep softener contained until the machine is ready to release it, improving rinse-time performance. What it does:

• Holds and releases liquid fabric softener (wet agent) into the rinse cycle
• Ensures softener is delivered at the correct time for even distribution
• Stops leaking or premature release when the dispenser housing is intact
• Commonly replaced when the dispenser cracks, clogs, or fails to dispense

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Access method varies by model; remove dispenser drawer or top panel per your model's service instructions
• Inspect surrounding seals and clips; replace if damaged to prevent leaks
