Whirlpool Dishwasher Hose (WPW10545278)

The Whirlpool Dishwasher Hose carries water between the dishwasher’s internal components, such as the pump, sump, and drain path, depending on where the hose is used in your model. It helps move water in and out of the tub so the dishwasher can wash, rinse, and drain as designed.

Hoses can fail from age, heat, and detergent exposure that harden the rubber or weaken the plastic. They can also crack from vibration, split from pressure spikes, or leak at the ends when clamps loosen or the connection seal deforms. Kinks, pinches, or internal buildup can restrict flow and strain the pump.

Look for these symptoms to help decide if this hose matches your issue:

• Water leaking under the dishwasher, especially during fill, wash, or drain
• Visible cracks, splits, swelling, or soft spots on the hose
• Drips or moisture at the hose connections or clamps
• Dishwasher not draining fully or draining slowly
• Gurgling sounds or repeated attempts to drain
• Water remaining in the bottom of the tub after a cycle
• Intermittent leaking that changes when the dishwasher vibrates
