Maytag Washer Filter

The Inlet Hose Screen and Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is designed to filter debris from the water entering the machine and ensure a tight seal between the hose and the water inlet valve. By preventing debris from entering the washing machine, it helps to maintain the appliance's performance and longevity.

Causes of a bad inlet hose screen and gasket can include clogging from mineral deposits or debris, wear and tear over time, or damage due to improper installation or removal. A compromised screen or gasket can lead to reduced water flow and potential leaks.

Symptoms of a bad inlet hose screen and gasket include:

• Reduced water flow into the washing machine
• Visible debris or buildup on the screen
• Water leaks at the hose connection
• The washing machine not filling properly

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This adapter tube assembly connects sections of the appliance's water line to create a secure, leak-resistant path for water flow. Replace it if the tube is cracked or the connection no longer seals properly to prevent leaks and restore flow.

• Connects water tubing between components within the appliance's water system
• Helps maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal at the joint
• Restores proper water flow when a tube or connector is damaged
• Typical symptoms: water leaking at the connection, reduced or no water flow, visible cracks/kinks, loose fit

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and place a towel or pan to catch any residual water
• Note routing and orientation before removal to ensure correct reassembly
• After installation, restore water and check all connections for leaks

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

• Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
• Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
• A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
• Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
• Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
• Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
• Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
• Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed
