Description
The Vent Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This vent hose allows air to circulate in and out of the washer, preventing pressure build-up and ensuring proper water drainage. It helps maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the washing machine by facilitating the necessary airflow during the wash and spin cycles.
Common causes of a bad vent hose include wear and tear from regular use, blockages from lint or debris, and damage from mishandling or improper installation.
Symptoms of a bad vent hose include:
- Water not draining properly from the washer
- Unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles
- Leaks or water pooling around the washer
- Visible cracks, splits, or blockages in the hose
This OEM part is also compatible with some Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
