Depending on the appliance, it can attach hoses to drain pumps, water inlet valves, pressure switches, and injector nozzles. We recommend you refer to model-specific diagrams for appropriate uses and exact placement. This hose clamp is made of metal, and is sold individually.

Before you begin any repair work, make sure you have unplugged your appliance, and shut off the water supply if applicable.
Replacing your Kenmore Washer Hose Clamp
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 part is the replacement hot water valve for your washer. It is approximately 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches, and the valve head is approximately 1 inch in diameter. The hot water inlet valve in your washer connects to the water source and solenoid wires, and ensures the tub has the right amount of hot water entering it. If your washing machine continues to fill after it is full, or if it fills slowly, you may need to replace this valve. Another indication that your valve is damaged and will need to be replaced, is if you notice it is leaking when the washer fills up. Before you begin this repair, be sure to disconnect the water and power sources from your washer. This part is sold individually and is an authentic OEM part.
