The Whirlpool WP99001868 is an essential component for your dishwasher, acting as a two-in-one solution for draining and filling. This hose assembly serves as a lifeline by connecting your dishwasher to the water supply and drainage systems. During a wash cycle, the hose fills the dishwasher with clean water via a faucet coupling. The same pipe effectively pushes the used water out of the appliance and into the drain of your sink after the wash cycle is over. With its usual length of eight feet, this genuine Whirlpool replacement component offers sufficient reach for a correct installation. Replacing a worn-out or damaged drain and fill hose assembly is critical for keeping your dishwasher working. A malfunctioning hose may cause flooding, leaks, or even restrict the flow of blood.
