Great Customer Service
PartSelect was the only parts company that actually had a customer service representative that I could speak to and could answer my questions and the only company that had the part in stock. Very impressed it arrived the next day and worked perfectly.

Works great
Fabric Softener Despenser arrived very quickly and was very easy to install. Just remove existing cap and insert. We love it because we no longer have to wait for the rice cycle and stop the washer to add softener. I am still at a loss why the manufacturer of the washer decided to remove this feature from their model...if you missed the cycle you had to run the rince cycle again wasting electricity, water and time. Thank you for stocking this hard to find accessory that the manufacturer no longer has in stocks and should have been included in the first place. I would not hesitate to recommend partselect.ca !!

need to have a fabric softner dispenser
the first order was ordered wrong for me and the part was to big so I had to send it back and order another. The second dispenser was the right one and went on well to the machine. Just had to put it on the machine by hand.

Fabric Softener Dispenser clogged
Pushed the new one into place. No tools, no fuss and very little swearing involved. Clogg was caused by erroneously pouring the liquid detergent into the very handy opening reserved for fabric softener. I'd love to say my wife did that, but.... no, it was me. NOW, the real story. I ordered the part via the web at 10:00 a.m. It was delivered to me at 9:30 a.m. the next morning via Fed Ex. Wow! Great job at PartSelect.

The dispenser that I purchased 1 year ago broke (flaw in plastic part, I think)
My washer is an Amana He, but the part is made by Whirlpool, I think. I just set the new part on the middle agitator in the washer and pushed it firmly down and it snapped into place. It was amazingly EASY!!!!!!!

Pretty simple, I removed one of the screws that holds the agitator, pulled it up completely and put the new one in. Took me 5 minutes to do so.

Will the softener dispenser 8575076a work on this machine, it didn't come with one when we bought it new.
For model number TAWB600PQ1
Hi Brad, Thank you for the question. Since the appliance does not come with a dispenser I have no way to know if this one will fit. In Most cases the appliances that do not come with a dispenser have a agitator that sits to high and close to the lid to have a dispenser. Hope this helps!

Part ps1488027 - my fabric softener dispenser is clogged with softener. I want to clean it. The two-part dispense is easily removed, however, how do i remove the top cap from the dispenser so cleaner out the softener? Same for agitator it fits into - any way to remove agitator to clean the softener build up in the top cup?
Hi Jacki, Thank you for the question. The dispenser does not come apart sorry. The best way to clean it would be to let it soak in hot water with vinegar. In order to remove the agitator, you will need to remove the dispenser and under the dispenser you will see a agitator cap and seal that pulls out and a bolt. Remove the bolt and the agitator will up and off its post. Hope this helps!

I ordered the dispenser for softener but I have no instructions for installing it. Help!
For model number NTW4516FW3
Hi Joy,
Thank you for your question. It should just twist or pull off, if it seems stuck, you can use a flat blade screw driver to pry it off. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Looking for the fabric dispenser, did not come with the machine when I bought it used.
For model number ETW4400WQ1
Hi Liana,
Thank you for your question. There is no fabric softener dispenser listed under your model number and to verify if there is one compatible with your model, you will need to contact Whirlpool. Their telephone number is 1-866-698-2538. If they provide you with a part number for the part, you may call us back with it and we can verify if we have it available for you. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
