Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Adapter (Part Number: OEM18053820)

Gigi February 18, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore 665

I was told adaptor 3374592 works with my Kenmore portable dishwasher. I need to confirm it will attach properly to my new faucet. A Peerless P299305LF, the aerator that screws onto that faucet is part RP41673, it measures 55/64 -27. My question is will the adapter 3374592 attach properly to that faucet?

1 Answer

Gigi, This faucet adapter will be a generalized adapter and we would not have information on if it will work on specific faucets.

Scott March 01, 2020

I have a Maytag portable dishwasher and the current faucet adapter will not fit my faucet. My faucet requires an adapter that is female . It needs to screw on threads that are on outside of faucet rather than inside the faucet. Do you have the correct adapter? Thanks

1 Answer

Hello Scott, this adapter WPW10254672 has both internal and external threads to fit either faucet design.

Kathy Avery January 18, 2020 for Model Number SD-9263

I purchased a portable dishwasher, the brand is SPT and the faucet adapter that it came with does not fit on my faucet which is quite skinny. I went to a hardware store and got one a little smaller that fit on the existing adapter but it was still too big. I measured the width of the faucet and it was one of those skinny tape measures and the width was 1.6 M. Is there an adapter for this faucet which is a delta A112.18.1 (written in the bottom of the aerator)? Thank you

1 Answer

Kathy, Unfortunately, we would only have the original type of adapter that would come with the dishwashers and would not have one that would work. You would want to check with a plumber or hardware store for this.

Alexis December 02, 2019 for Model Number MDC5100AWW

You keep referring to the replacement part WPW10254672 as a suitable match for my model of portable dishwasher. It would never work because my dishwasher has a post in the hose end and your replacement part does not allow for the post to fit. I cannot find any part with a post hole in the adaptor/coupler end that would compensate for the post in the hose end. The name on the original part says, "Milard" along with the patten number, but no part number. Unfortunately for me, the part has cracked because it's plastic and old. My dishwasher is fine except for the adaptor/coupler. Please point me in the right direction.

1 Answer

Alexis, the adapter WPW10254672 should work as it is recommended by the manufacturer to be used with the hose assembly WP99001868. Both items are listed by the manufacturer as being used with the model number provided.

Rosie February 11, 2019 for Model Number WDP350AAB5

i got a new facet the adapter to my dishwasher is to big. Do they make one that is smaller to screw onto the facet

1 Answer

Rosie, The manufacturer will not have a smaller adapter and would want to check with a local hardware store for this.

Steve June 25, 2018 for Model Number WDP370PAHBO

Just installed a new Delta faucet. Water flowed beautifully from its aerator. I then put on the aerator for my new Whirlpool portable dishwasher. Water came out in an odd flow nowhere near as efficiently as when the faucet's aerator was on it. It does allow the dishwasher to work but has a poor flow when putting water in the sink. Is there a way to correct this?

1 Answer

Hello Steve, If the screen is in the aerator properly it is probably a difference in the screens and internal parts of the aerator that causes the difference in the water flows. These will normally not be the same as the original aerator for the faucet.

Jerry November 23, 2017

My Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher has developed a leak where we connect it to the adapter. Which is the likely problem---the adapter or the coupler? Thank you.
