Gladiator Hose Or Tube

This drain tube directs defrost/condensate water from the appliance's drain outlet into the drain pan, helping prevent water from pooling inside the cabinet or leaking onto the floor for reliable, mess-free operation. What it does:

• Channels defrost/condensate water from the drain outlet to the pan
• Helps prevent interior leaks, puddles beneath the unit, and ice at the drain
• Restores proper drainage when the original tube is cracked, misshapen, or clogged
• Addresses symptoms like water under drawers/shelves or musty odors from standing water

• 1 drain tube

• Disconnect power and pull the unit forward for rear access; turn off water supply if applicable
• Remove the old tube and clear any debris/ice from the drain opening
• Fully seat the new tube on the drain outlet and position the outlet over the pan, following original routing
• Test by pouring a small amount of warm water into the drain to ensure proper flow and no leaks

The Drain Tube is an OEM part for Whirlpool-brand French door refrigerator water dispensers and ice makers. It channels excess water away during the icemaking process. 

Causes of a bad drain tube can include mineral buildup clogging the narrow opening over time or cracks developing from rigid ice contact every cycle.

Symptoms of a bad drain tube include:

• Water failing to properly drain away from the ice maker
• Puddles or leaks appearing near the freezer floor   
• Ice production deteriorating due to water backup
• Mineral scale deposits accumulating around connections

Replacing it with this OEM tube restores full water ejection to produce clean ice. Also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerators.
