Whirlpool WPW10352973 Washer Dispenser Actuator Switch
Description
The Whirlpool W10352973 Washer Switch Dispenser, also known as a dispenser actuator, is a critical component for front-loading washers. It's an electromechanical device that regulates the flow of detergent and fabric softener during washing machine cycles. When a wash cycle begins, the washer control board transmits a signal to the dispenser switch. The switch then activates a small motor that turns a cam, guiding detergent and softener from the dispenser drawer into the washer drum at specific moments during the cycle. A broken dispenser switch can cause many problems, including no detergent or softener being dispensed, uneven distribution of cleaning supplies, and overflowing detergent trays. Replacing a defective dispenser switch with the W10352973 assures proper distribution of cleaning products, resulting in cleaner garments.
