Whirlpool DLCE 91469 Water Chamber issue

2 washes completed and no leaks so now have a spare pump for the future.

It was definitely the small tube pulling free of the drum.

The original leak only occurred when the drain pump kicked in so still do not understand the role of the water chamber and this small hose back to the drum.

Have appreciated your help.

Many thanks Andy ... yes enough slack to take the bangs and jumps and I am sure the silicone will hold it in place.

If the tube is definitely long enough I used to cut off several mm to use fresh hose to push into the plastic spout. Bear in mind the tube needs to be long enough to not be under any pressure if the outer drum bangs and jumps around.

It does fit tightly on to the drum but I will now add a bead of silicon seal to hold it in place. I can see no clip or even a way to hold it in place so will try silicone.

We are always learning and thank you for your help and advice.

The small black pressure tubing is normally very tightly fitted with a clip. If it comes off it is catastrophic because in the past (before error codes and abort abilities) a washing machine would fill for ever with water constantly running into floor.

I’ve never known one come off to be honest.

That was quick Andy .. thank you.

I could find nothing on the internet related to the water chamber.

yes .. a small black hose comes out of the top of the chamber and runs into the top of the drum. Because I removed the water chamber to check the connections I do not know if the hose going into the drum was originally connected...I suspect it was not so maybe it worked its way off the drum (vibration??) and probably the water leak source.

All put back and now no leaks at first test this morning.

This explains how washing machines control water levels with pressure switch
