Replacing your Kenmore Washer Washer Hose Clamp

Replacing your Washer Hose Clamp
Fixes Symptom 16% of time

The hose clamp is used to hold the water hose in place which will prevent the hose from leaking water. Sometimes the clamp may lose its ability to latch on, causing a leaking washer. For the installation, you will need a flat head screw driver to replace the clamp and a drill to access the screws to remove the front of the washer. Be careful if you do not have specific clamp pliers as the clamp could fly off. Once the front of the washer has been removed, take a quick look for water damage or any obvious signs of where the leak is coming from. If it is not obvious, run water to test.

This is an OEM boot seal retaining ring for various models of front-load washing machines. This retaining ring is used to clamp down and secure the inner boot, also known as a seal or gasket, of your washing machine. Over time and with extended use, this retaining ring may break or become worn out, and need replacing. This ring measures features a diameter of approximately 16.3 inches and is made of metal. Because this ring is highly compressed, you will need a set of pliers to secure it around the boot seal of your washing machine. This retaining ring is sold individually, so it does not come with any other parts.

Old dispenser part came loose from dispenser drawer area, hit the floor and broke two plastic connectors. Very small and fragile plastic tabs are all that retains the front of the dispenser drawer. Cost for those two parts over $100 retail.

Be gentle with plastic components.
