Whirlpool WP8528278 Fabric Softener Dispenser for Washer

The Whirlpool WP8528278 is a replacement fabric softener dispenser specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. This plastic cup measures approximately 6 inches in length and 4 inches in diameter and is intended to fit into the designated dispensing area of the washer. During the washing cycle, the user fills the cup with fabric softener. As the cycle progresses, the washer removes the fabric softener from the dispenser at the appropriate time, usually during the rinse cycle. This mechanism allows for even distribution of the fabric softener across the laundry, contributing to softer clothes and minimizing static cling. A malfunctioning dispenser may result in issues such as excess fabric softener remaining in the cup at the end of the cycle or inconsistent softening of the laundry.
