This is a dishwasher dispenser. A dishwasher dispenser is a mechanism that dispenses detergent and rinse aid during the washing cycle.
A new dishwasher dispenser may be needed if the original is cracked, broken, or damaged in any way.
If the dispenser door will not latch when closed, if the dispenser door will not open all of the way, or if either the detergent or rinse aid is not dispensing during the washing cycle, a new dishwasher dispenser will be needed. Use care when repairing an electronic appliance. This is an easy repair, but be sure that all screws are tightened properly so that no leaking occurs.
This specific dishwasher dispenser is compatible with dishwashers that are manufactured by either Whirlpool or Maytag.
