The Vent Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. This flexible hose is used to vent hot, moist air from the washer to the outside of your home, ensuring efficient operation by removing humidity and preventing mold growth inside the washer.
Over time, the vent hose can become clogged with debris, develop kinks, or suffer damage such as tears or holes.
Causes of a bad vent hose can include the accumulation of lint or debris, physical damage from moving the washer, or general wear and tear over time.
Symptoms of a bad Vent Hose include:
- Longer drying times in washer-dryer combos
- Excessive humidity or mold growth inside the washer
- The washer feeling hotter than usual during operation
- Visible damage or kinks in the hose
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
