Common Symptoms
- Poor or restricted steam ventilation
- Vent hose or pipe visibly disconnected, cracked, or damaged
- Ventilation assembly does not remain securely seated at the tub port
Check Before Replacing
- Unplug the washer before inspection or service.
- Visually inspect the vent pipe and attached hose for cracks, separation, deformation, or visible obstruction.
- Check that the vent hose is attached to the vent housing and that the steam hose and clamp are secure.
- Confirm that the pipe is properly seated at the tub port; do not assume the pipe is faulty until hose connections and seating have been checked.
Pro Tip
Check the steam-hose connection, clamp, vent-housing connection, and pipe seating before replacing the assembly; a loose connection can resemble a failed vent pipe.
