H0020808478A Genuine Detergent Dispenser Housing for Fisher & Paykel Front Load Washing Machines WH7560P1 WH7560J1

If the detergent drawer area on a WH7560P1 or WH7560J1 front loader is cracked or leaking, genuine Fisher & Paykel housing H0020808478A is the replacement. The housing is the fixed body that the drawer slides into, and it channels water from the inlet valves through the drawer and down into the tub. It's also worth replacing when the drawer no longer fits properly.

Water leaking near the detergent drawer?

Water leaking near the drawer, or running down the front of the machine during the fill, often traces back to the dispenser housing. Heat, detergent and years of vibration can crack the plastic or distort the outlet where it joins the hose to the tub. A damaged housing may also stop the drawer sitting square, so water sprays past the compartments instead of flushing them, leaving detergent behind. Old powder and softener build up can mimic these faults, so clean the housing thoroughly first and check it for cracks with a torch.

Replacing the dispenser housing

Switch off at the wall and close both taps. The top panel usually needs to come off to reach the housing. Photograph the hoses and inlet valve connections attached to it, then remove the clamps and fixings. Transfer any parts not supplied with the new housing, fit it in place, and reconnect every hose firmly. Run a short wash with the drawer in and watch for leaks.
