Description

Product Overview

Whirlpool has built a reputation for reliable kitchen appliances, and the 8269144A Drain Hose Extension continues that tradition. This genuine OEM accessory is engineered specifically for Whirlpool dishwashers, replacing part numbers 1489097, 8269144, AH2358130, EA2358130, and PS2358130. The hose measures six feet in length, providing ample reach for installations where the original hose may be short or damaged. Constructed from high‑grade white plastic, the hose offers flexibility without sacrificing durability, ensuring a leak‑free connection that matches the original equipment manufacturer’s standards. The clear, white finish blends seamlessly with the interior of most dishwasher models, while the reinforced walls resist kinks and abrasions that can compromise performance over time. Each hose is tested for pressure tolerance and chemical resistance, guaranteeing that it can handle the high‑temperature water and detergent cycles typical of modern dishwashers. The product ships as a single drain hose component, ready for straightforward installation by a qualified technician or a confident DIY homeowner.

Usage

This drain hose extension is intended for use in residential and light‑commercial dishwasher installations. It is ideal for situations where the original hose has become brittle, cracked, or simply too short to reach the drain outlet. The six‑foot length accommodates a variety of cabinet configurations, allowing the hose to route around obstacles such as support beams, insulation, or cabinetry without excessive bending. The hose is compatible with most Whirlpool dishwasher models released in the past decade, as well as select models from other manufacturers that share the same connection specifications. During installation, the hose should be secured with the supplied clamps to prevent movement and ensure a tight seal. Proper alignment with the dishwasher’s drain outlet and the household plumbing vent is essential for optimal water flow and to avoid back‑pressure issues. The hose can also be used in retrofit projects where an older dishwasher is being upgraded to a newer unit, providing a reliable bridge between the appliance and existing plumbing.

FAQ

Which dishwasher models are compatible with the 8269144A hose?

How do I install the drain hose extension?

Installation involves disconnecting the existing hose, attaching the new 6‑foot hose to the dishwasher’s drain outlet, and securing it with the provided clamps. Route the hose toward the household drain, ensuring there are no sharp bends that could restrict flow. Tighten the clamps firmly, re‑connect the dishwasher to power, and run a short test cycle to verify proper drainage.

Is the hose flexible enough for tight spaces?

Yes, the hose is made from a flexible yet sturdy plastic that can be gently curved around corners and obstacles. While it offers flexibility, it also maintains enough rigidity to prevent kinking, which could impede water flow.

Can I use this hose with non‑Whirlpool dishwashers?

In many cases, the hose can be used with other brands if the drain connection size matches. However, for optimal performance and warranty compliance, it is recommended to use the OEM part with Whirlpool appliances or verify compatibility with the other manufacturer’s specifications.

What warranty does Whirlpool provide for this part?

Whirlpool offers a limited warranty that covers defects in material or workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. If the hose fails due to a manufacturing issue within this timeframe, Whirlpool will replace it at no additional cost.
