Whirlpool 285871vp Tub to Pump Hose

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 285871vp is a genuine OEM tub-to-pump hose designed for Whirlpool washing machines. This hose connects the wash tub to the drain pump, carrying water out of the drum during the drain cycle. It is a direct factory replacement part, manufactured to original equipment specifications to ensure a proper fit and reliable seal. Appliance repair technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when the original hose shows cracking, leaks, kinking, or deterioration. Using a genuine OEM hose reduces the risk of improper fit or premature failure common with aftermarket alternatives.

This hose is used in residential laundry applications where the tub-to-pump drain path has failed or is showing signs of wear. It is appropriate for top-load and front-load Whirlpool-platform washing machines that use this part number. Installation is typically performed during a standard drain system service call when water is found pooling under the machine or the unit fails to drain completely.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician. Before beginning work, disconnect the washing machine from electrical power and shut off the water supply valves. Have towels and a shallow drain pan available, as residual water will remain in the hose and tub after the unit is unplugged. Secure hose clamps fully at both the tub outlet and pump inlet to prevent leaks during the drain cycle.
