Whirlpool WPW10545278 Drain Hose OEM Part

Dishwasher washer would not drain after hearing glass-like particles during the drain cycle despite trying to clean the cylinder filter. Originally suspected the drain motor was damaged. After watching a video on how to replace the drain pump, I carefully energized the dishwasher (from water and electricity) then removed the dishwasher to take a look. After removal of drain hose from the pump, discovered that drain hose was connected to water inlet assembly which also needed removal to completely remove the drain hose. During this disassembly, discovered that water was also leaking from fill hose, drain hose and/or water which caused stains on the insulation blanket. Leaking water here explained why I had water damage on the inside of the cabinet where the dishwasher was located. So I decided to replace fill hose, drain hose, inlet assembly and gasket, nut-tube (which secures inlet assembly and gasket), insulation blanket and pump drain. Used vise grip pliers to safely pinch clamps and a large adjustable wrench for nut-tube. Recommend watching inlet assembly video too. Noticed that the replacement insulation blanket now has a plastic liner which covers the area where the water inlet assembly is located, guessing Jenn air had a design blunder there because I suspect water can splash outside the inlet assembly during water filling mode. Anyway, after reassembly had a leak-free startup and no more drain issues. After further inspection of the old drain hose, found more broken plate pieces that obstructed the opening of the check valve in 90 deg elbow of the drain hose. They probably did not need to replace the motor but did not want to fix dishwasher a 2nd time. I also realized this is probably the most important appliance in the house as it is used once or more daily, manual dishwashing sucks with a full house with kids. I tip my hat to ApliancePartsPros for making good videos and reducing my learning curve.

Removed and replaced drain pump, drain hose and check valve. Very easy job and especially with the videos on the web site. I've been telling all my friends how easy it was and sharing the web site address to help them in the future. Highest recommendation I can give for this company.

Replaced the hoses. Thought I'd have to wait for a few days to receive replacements, but they were delivered the next day after ordering. I was thrilled. I'm not big on doing dishes by hand anymore. Yup, I'm spoiled. This is now my "go to" web site for parts. This is by far, a 5 star online store.

Ordered new hoses on line and repaired myself worked perfectly with help of video

I bought the part from AppliancePartsPros.com. Removed water inlet hose. Removed water outlet hose. Removed water inlet valve which was held on with one screw. Replaced the water inlet value. Reattached both hoses. It leaked a little bit, so I had to put plumbing tape and really make it tight. Then the leaked stopped.
