Whirlpool WP99001868 Dishwasher Faucet Coupler And Hose Assembly OEM Part

Installed a new hose and coupler and now it works perfect again. Had to take the top off of the dishwasher, which was just a few screws and take the old hose out, install the new one and within an hour, my dishwasher was running again. This company shipped my parts in "lightning speed" and I am very satisfied.

It was an easy fix - just had to remove the top, turn the portable DW on it's back to make the connections, and it was done. Everything fit well - just sorry that Whirlpool doesn't offer a repair kit to just fix the coupler. It was a lot to replace for just a leaky connection, but that is all that is available.

I installed a new hose assembly by propping the entire dish washer up so that I could unhook it from underneath (Be prepared for water to drain out). I then removed the top in order to pull the old hose out and fish the new one through. I did need new to use new zip ties, but was able to reuse the hose clamp.

I ordered the coupler and hose assembly because you cannot order just the end. We received the part very quickly, within a couple days. It took my son around an hour to repair. The other comments were helpful about the need to take off top. After taking out the two screws it took a few minutes to figure out we had to slid the top forward for it to completely come off. We also had to take off the dust cover on the bottom in order to twist off the hose. There is also a zip tie inside holding the hose assembly in place. After everything was complete it works great. I hope this info helps.

Since the hoses were over six years old, I replaced the entire assembly. It took longer to clean up the water that was left inside the dishwasher that was spilled when I turned the unit on it's side than it did to remove and replace the hoses. There is a zip-tie that holds the drain hose up, preventing it from dragging on the floor when the unit is rolled, be sure to have a replacement handy, as you will need to cut the factory installed zip-tie, and a new one is not provided. I had to loosen a stainless clamp, used a pair of channel lock pliers to loosen a water hose connection, removed the old hose assembly, and fish the new one into the cabinet and make the connections. Took less than 15 minutes, then reloaded the dishwasher and was doing dishes. No more leaks from the coupler, and dishes came out clean again!
