Somehow or another, the plastic cup inside vanished.
This was a really easy replacement job. All I had to do was twist the old Fabric Softener Dispenser to the left to unlock it, pull it off, and put the replacement on.

Fabric Softener dispenser was broken
Replacing the fabric softener dispenser was very easy. It just snaps on. Make sure you line up the tabs with the holes in the agitator, otherwise it will not stay on and will fly off and break in the spin-cycle. This is how the first one broke to begin with.

Have a Whirlpool high efficiency washer with no softener dispenser, will you be able to use the one that is 6" high and 4" round? Or do a I need a different kit.
For model number WTW5000DW0
PartSelect logo
Hello David, Thank you for the question. This Fabric Softener Dispenser is for appliances that have agitators. The model number provided has a Washplate and they do not have a Dispenser option sorry. For more specialized assistance or to speak with someone about this, we would suggest calling the manufacturer of the appliance directly. We hope this helps!

My washer overflowed yesterday. When I drained the tub, reset the ‘load size’ and tried again, watching it this time it nearly overflowed again. I tested the inlet valve by unplugging the machine while it was filling and it stopped. What’s wrong?
For model number 11024812200
PartSelect logo
Hello Jason, Thank you for the question. We suggest checking the Water Level Switch and the Water Pressure Hose. Make sure there is no build up in the hose preventing the water from passing through to trigger the Switch to stop the water from filling. You can remove the switch and check for a build up in the hose port. You can blow into the port and listen for a "click" if the switch is good. We hope this helps!

Hello Keri, Thank you for your inquiry. The dome-like cup or fill cup, is actually part of the dispenser assembly and not available separately. We hope this helps
