Whirlpool Wax Motor WP22002119 OEM Part

The Wax Motor Actuator serves as an authentic replacement component, compatible with certain older models of Whirlpool washing machines. Measuring approximately two inches long, it acts as the actuator motor for the dispenser. Its primary role is to direct water into the compartments designated for detergent, fabric softener, and bleach, achieved by attaching to the dispenser's top. The inclusion of wax within the motor's structure contributes to reduced noise and vibration, thereby enhancing operational quietness and efficiency.

Whirlpool's portfolio encompasses several brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Furthermore, Whirlpool also produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

To verify proper operation of the wax motor, conduct a test to ensure a 120 VAC power supply reaches the motor during the activation of the detergent cup. Should the motor receive power yet fail to function, it indicates a defect, necessitating replacement. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component, this part is designed to meet the original specifications and standards of the washing machine.

The wax motor is especially pertinent if your washing machine faces drainage challenges.
