Whirlpool Switch

The Dispenser Switch is an OEM component for Whirlpool washing machines. Located inside the detergent compartment, it detects when the door is properly closed to enable cycle functions.   

The sensitive switch utilizes durable contacts to reliably connect without false readings due to vibration. Its secure plastic housing contains electronic components regulating additive distribution during selected cycles.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser switch can include:

• Inability to start cycles despite closed door
• Dispenser door fails to lock properly   
• Fault codes relating to dispenser issues  
• Cycles unexpectedly terminating mid-load
