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.

Hello Mary, This screen 285452A is combined with the washing machine water hose seal and is used in the water supply hose. When this is used, the screen can be removed from the water valve and the cone of the screen should always be installed pointing toward the incoming water pressure. These are metal screens. The plastic screens you are referring to are only available as part of the water inlet valve assembly W11168740 and W11168743.

Je, the filter screens in the water valve assembly W11038689 are built-in and can not be replaced separately from the valve. Fill hose screens 285452A can be added as an extra filter by installing them where the supply hose mounts to the wall valve, but this will not correct a clogged or damaged screen on the valve.

John, It would be recommended to put the unit into a service diagnostic mode and see if there are any stored error codes. If there are then this will point to what is wrong with the unit.

John, You will want to run the unit through a clean cycle and try reducing the amount of detergent as too much detergent can cause lint to be suspended in the water and cause it to get on clothes.

Frank, To remove the screens on the water valve you would just grab hold of them with needle nose pliers and pull them out. Then you would just push the new one in.

James, You need to replace the water inlet valve WPW10144820. The internal plunger or solenoid has failed and stuck open, allowing the water flow through the valve and fill the tub. You will need to remove the power and disconnect the hoses from the valve, then remove the cabinet to access the inlet valve mounted on the inside of the back panel.

Hello Buddy. Yes, it could be clogged. If you remove the hoses at both connections and clean the unit, and it still fills slow, then you will need to replace the water valve on the unit.
