The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as the connection that allows dirty water to exit the dishwasher tub and flow into the water drain system after each wash cycle. The hose transports wastewater from inside the dishwasher out through the standpipe.
Causes of a bad drain hose can include mineral or food debris buildup blocking water flow within the hose, cracks or breaks in the plastic material from repeated bending, or a loose or damaged hose clamp connection.
Symptoms of a drain hose failure include:
- Standing water remaining in the bottom of the tub after a cycle
- Puddles or leaks developing near or underneath the dishwasher
- Water failing to properly drain during the designated drain portion of cycles
- Kinks or sagging appearing in the hose affecting water drainage
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
