Whirlpool WPW10568614 Vent Hose OEM Part

Open the top and observed water squrting out from the vent hose connection to the top of tub. Tried to insert a home made gasket but still leaking. Ordered replacement hose assembly from AppliancePartsPros.com on Sunday. Got the part Tuesday. 15 minutes later the hose is replaced. Run the clean washer cycle and no more water on the floor. Washer is a front load model with steam function; about 3 years old from 2011. I think this vent hose is present on models with fanfresh function; having a hose for air into the tub and a second hose for venting. The issue is that the venting hose connection on the tub is a pressure fit between two plastic pieces and the pressure comes from a foam gasket that aged and became soft.

Opened the back of machine and saw that a mouse had eaten holes in all but one of the rubber hoses. Took the top off the machine for better access. Appliance Parts Pros were the only company I could find that had all the pieces I needed in stock. Quick and easy to order online and fast shipping. Replaced the damaged hoses. Everything fits great and was easy to install. Definitely a diy project. I have even booked marked Appliance Parts Pros. Thank you Appliance parts Pros.

Took the old off and replaced it with the new piece and worked like new.

After watching a brief video on the motor replacement (and receiving the parts) I simply followed the instructions and swapped motors. The vent hose simply has two hose clamps and was easy to replace. Both parts fit perfectly and I'm wearing clean clothes again.

Opened lid and found that the exhaust hose had broken off the tub (hence the noise when spinning and the leaking water). the moisture from this caused the contacts for the water control to corrode and not turn on. replaced the hose, lightly sanded the corroded contacts, and it's working great again. thanks for your quick shipping!
