The Whirlpool W10842407 is a replacement drain and fill hose made exclusively for Whirlpool dishwashers.It is a crucial part of the dishwasher's piping system, carrying out the dual duties of draining the used water from the wash cycle and replenishing the machine with fresh water. The dishwasher receives fresh water from the fill hose part, which is connected to the home's water supply. Once the wash cycle is finished, the drain hose part takes over, moving the dishwasher's waste materials into the drainpipe. A damaged or clogged drain fill hose can cause a variety of issues with your dishwasher's performance. The Whirlpool W10842407 can be used to replace a broken hose and restore correct water flow throughout the dishwasher's wash cycle.
