The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This hose works to divert wastewater from the dishwasher to the garbage disposal or drain pipe beneath the kitchen sink.
The drain hose is responsible for safely transporting soapy water, food debris and other particles away from the washing cavity during each cycle. It prevents leaks and backup within the dishwasher tub.
Causes of a bad drain hose can include cracks, splitting, or deterioration of the plastic tubing over many years of use. Clogs within the hose are also problematic.
Symptoms of a failed drain hose include:
- Puddles or leaks developing beneath the dishwasher
- Inability to fully drain wash and rinse water after cycles
- Fault codes showing drainage issues
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
