Whirlpool 208847 Washer Siphon Break Elbow Kit
Product Description
The Whirlpool 208847 Washing Machine Siphon Break Elbow Clamp is an obscure but essential device in your washing machine's drainage system. It includes a curved elbow piece that connects the internal drain pipe to the exterior drain hose, as well as a clamp to tighten the connection. This seemingly basic element is critical in keeping drain water from siphoning back into the washer during the drain cycle.Siphoning happens when water from the washing machine tub creates a vacuum, potentially pulling unclean water back in. The siphon break elbow interferes with this process by producing a high point in the drain line. When water runs through the elbow, it breaks the siphoning effect and ensures effective drainage.
