Product review (5 stars): Exact original replacement for a dirty, gunked-up fabric softener dispenser.
As others have mentioned, this is an original Whirlpool replacement part, an exact fit for many washers. I got the exact OEM part number from the repair clinic website after entering the machine's model number. The original dispenser had visible black stuff inside after 20 years, even after repeated rinsings with hot water. The dispenser cannot be opened to clean it. I don't know if if was lint or black mold, but at this price it was worth replacing.
