I think one or two detergent dispensers.

E-mail me and I'll check if you need one.

There seems to be two models a KDS-17 and a KDS-17A.

Detergent Dispenser part #'s:

KDS-17: A-108979
KDS-17A: A-115153

Part Number changes thru the ages!

Robert, there were 2 different dispensers shown as you indicated, but I would say that the only difference between them would have been the slight indentation in the 115153 dispenser that allowed for additional soap to be added to the wash and it would have dropped into the tank when the door was cloised and added to the first fill segment of the cycle selected.

The 115153 was used all the way thru the 21 series whenever a dual closing door dispenser was specified for the model in question.

Now here is how the numbers have evolved:

108979 changed to 4160887 in the Whirlpool numbering system

115153 changed to 4161310.

They both susbtitute over to one and the same number: 9740171
which is also the same number used on the 23 series.

That would seem to mean that any dispsenser from the 17 thru the 23 series should work just fine.

Hope this helps
