Washer Leaking or Won’t Drain? Tub-To-Pump Hose W11366249 – Fix Drainage Failures Fast

A cracked or disconnected tub-to-pump hose is one of the most common causes of water leaking under a Whirlpool-family washer or a machine that won’t drain. In most Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore front-load and top-load washers, this hose carries all wash water from the tub to the drain pump. When it cracks, collapses, or pulls loose, water pools inside the cabinet, leaks onto the floor, or the washer fails to drain entirely. ⚡ Common failure point in Whirlpool-built washers. Part W11366249 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores a sealed, leak-free drain path immediately — no modification required.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Washer powers on and cycles start normally
• ✔ Drain pump motor runs (audible hum during drain cycle)
• ✔ Drain hose at the back of the machine is clear and unkinked
• ✔ No error codes pointing to pump motor failure
• ✔ ONLY problem is water leaking under the machine or washer not draining despite pump running

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: MODERATE — 20–40 minutes. Disconnect power and water supply before beginning. Access the hose by removing the front lower panel or tilting the machine back depending on model. Release the spring clamps at each end, slide the old hose off, and seat the new hose fully before repositioning the clamps. Run a short drain cycle to confirm no leaks before reassembling the panel.
