This hose clamp is used in a wide variety of household appliances. Most often it is found in washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, garbage disposals, or air conditioners. This clamp is used to securely attach a hose to another part of your appliance, which helps prevent leaks from those connections. 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. To access and replace this part you will need a nut driver, pliers, and screwdrivers. Before you begin any repair work, make sure you have unplugged your appliance, and shut off the water supply if applicable.

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.

Also known as a bellow. This part is used to keep the clothes inside the tub during the wash cycle. The folds in the bellow allow the tub to move separately from the door during the spin cycle.

Water will not drain properly. This not only left the clothes very wet it also made the cycle take longer.

First thing I did was to unplug the washer's power cord from wall outlet. Secondly I disconnected the hot and cold water hoses. You need to have a pan or bucket handy to catch any water once hoses are disconnected. Thirdly I removed the screws that secures the rear panel and removed panel to expose the pump at the bottom of the washer. I then disconnected the power cable going to the pump and removed the inlet and outlet hoses connected to the pump. You may need a set of pliers to remove the hose clamps if you don't have strong fingers. Note! you will need some rags or towels to soak up the water when you remove the drain hose that goes from the washer's tub to the pump inlet once the hose is disconnect. Once this is completed, I finally removed the 3 screws that secured the pump to the washer's frame and removed the faulty pump. Once pump is removed reinstall new pump in reverse. If you are handy with a screw driver and pliers this is an easy fix. Once pump was replaced the washer ran and drained fine. To avoid future damages to your pump always check clothes pockets for foreign objects prior to washing. The damage to my pump was caused by a quarter that got in the drain hose and damaged the pump's impeller. Be real careful not to cut yourself, because there are a few sharp edges on the washer's panel and frame when removing the pump. I hope my experience helps someone who may encounter the same problem.

Coins had been pulled into the pump, breaking blades and cracked casing.

First I unplugged the washer and removed the back cover plate of the washer. I drained the pump and drainage lines. I then removed the two hose clamps and removed the connecting hoses. I removed the electrical connection. I loosened the three mounting bolts holding the mounting plate holding the pump. Once out, I could remove the pump from the plate and replaced it with the new part. I remounted the mounting plate, attached the hoses and clamps. I reattached the electrical connection and the back plate to the washer.


The Maytag is well designed and the parts are easy to reach. At least from this experience, the machine was designed with efficient repairs in mind. This is a sign of a well made machine.

Close quaters to work on

I had to pull the washer out from the wall. SInce it is in front of the door going out into the garage made it dificult getting tools. I had to lay on my side doubled up in order toget to the hose. I used a bit extention so that I could get the clamp loose. Cut the time in half by using a drill with a phillips head screw bit. The only real hard part was getting the new one up tight on the drain. Used a heavy duty screw driver to push it up so the clamp would bite.

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.

Customer Repair Stories

Water was sprating all over the inside of wash machine onto the circuit board.

I took the two screws off the back that holds the top down, lifted it , then pulled it back to remove. After this was removed, there were two more screws holding down the assy-s housing and drawer. First remove drawer where you add the soap and softners. Then I pulled that back and the assy-s housing drawer just snaps onto the housing. I pulled the drawer off, then I took the four hoses that are connected to the back and put on the new one in their respected spot. I snapped it back on and reassembled. You don't need a maytag repair man to do this job.
