Description
Prevent dirty water from being siphoned back into your washer tub with the genuine OEM Whirlpool 285320 Washer Siphon Break Kit. This essential accessory provides an air gap in the drain hose connection, preventing a siphon effect that can cause the washer to continuously drain or reintroduce dirty water into the clean tub. The kit includes a T/Y-shaped connector, clamps, and adapters for use with both rubber and plastic drain hoses.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine Whirlpool OEM Factory Certified Accessory designed for universal installation on most washers.
- Creates an air gap in the drain line to reliably prevent backflow and siphoning of wastewater.
- Resolves issues where the washer continuously drains water during the fill cycle, preventing the tub from properly filling.
- Kit includes the necessary T-connector, hose sleeves, and metal clamps for a secure, universal installation.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Washer is slow to fill or never fills, as water is being siphoned out simultaneously.
- Dirty or soapy water is returning to the wash tub, especially after the drain cycle.
- Water frequently leaks from the drain hose at the standpipe or sink connection.
- Cycle times are excessively long because the machine constantly tries to refill.

Compatibility Note
Note: This kit is compatible with all washers, but it is primarily used in installations where the drain hose connection height is low, causing backflow issues. Installation requires cutting the main drain hose and splicing this siphon break assembly into the line using the provided clamps.
