Whirlpool WP22001448 Drain Hose OEM Part

I decided to order the siphon break kit (siphon break, washer and clamp included), a new hose, and clamp (for the bottom hose connection) as the hose was original and well over 15 years old. I probably could have used the old clamp, but decided to get a new one in case there were problems with the old during removal. The video provided by A.P.P was helpful in giving confidence this was a task that could be done by myself. As was shown in the video, the hose connection to the siphon break had a band of metal for the clamp, which had to be cut off. This also influenced my decision to purchase a new hose. Having access to the front and rear of the washer was probably the most annoying part of the task as washers are often in place with the back to a wall between other obstacles. Note that there will likely be water spillage when the hose is removed at the bottom connection. My washer is now back in service.

Watched video AppliancePartsPros.com offered, ordered hoses, now I'm a hero.

I am a single, elderly female, so I had a neighbor do this repair. Initially, after removing the front panel of the washer, he quickly diagnosed the problem I then ordered the part, which arrived, much to my surprise and great pleasure, within a couple of days. I have used Appliance Pros in the past and will continue to use them in the future.

I replaced the drain pump and hose. It took fifteen minutes to fix and a couple of washer cycles to verify. Super easy, quality parts, overall a very satisfying experience.

I pulled off the front of the washing machine and peered into the belly of the beast, hoping to observe some area where the problem was occurring. Without an obvious problem indication I was left to filling the machine and running a cycle. Thankfully the seal at the bottom of the drum was OK and there was no indication of a leak until the water was pumped out, when a small trickle ran down the output hose creating the small puddle we had observed previously. I proceeded to check the siphon break and found that to be the culprit and I had just watched the repair video the previous evening. Obviously that was not a repairable item so I had to resort to ordering a new one. But since this Maytag is 34 years old and this problem was the first problem we have had, I decided to order both hoses to the water pump, since they had worked well and it would be difficult to put the new siphon break on the old hose. Made the repair much easier. The only problem was the hose clamp included for the new siphon break was too small and would not go around the hose once I installed the break in the hose.
