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.
