Product review (5 stars): 100% better than original Whirlpool part
The old fabric softener dispenser that came with the machine when new had some kind of internal bladder that over time fell apart. The fabric softener dispenser would eventually just fill to the top, stop discharging properly and spray some of the fabric softener during the final rinse! You would only know this if you smelled the laundry or saw bits of the black bladder all over the freshly washed laundry. There was no way of knowing if it even emptied out all of the fabric softener. This new after market version is smaller but it sill fits and works like a charm (no bladder to break). You can also SEE if it has discharged the fabric softener just by looking at the dispenser. Great product wish I had bought it sooner! I highly recommend buying it through Amazon as its half the price of every where else.
