The water inlet hose assembly, also known as the fill hose, works in conjunction with your washer by supplying water to the tub during operation. The hose attaches to the water inlet valve and to the main top. If there is no water coming into the tub during the fill or rinse cycle, the hose may be damaged or clogged and will need to be replaced. This hose assembly measures approximately 19” long, is black in color and made of plastic. When replacing the hose please remember to reuse the clamp to secure the hose to the inlet valve and to connect the thermistor wires to the new hose. Disconnect the power and the water supply before beginning this repair. The water inlet hose assembly is a genuine OEM part.
