WPW10116738 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Dryer Siphon Break Elbow

The WPW10116738 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Dryer Siphon Break Elbow is a critical drainage component designed for washing machines and washer-dryer combos. Manufactured by Whirlpool to exact factory specifications, this OEM part ensures proper water flow, prevents backflow contamination, and maintains safe appliance operation.

Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast, reliable Canada-wide shipping, this part is a trusted solution for resolving drainage issues such as leaks, siphoning, and incomplete draining.

Function & Importance of the Siphon Break Elbow

The siphon break elbow is a 90-degree connector installed within the washer’s drain system. Its primary function is to create an air gap (siphon break) that prevents wastewater from flowing back into the appliance.

Key functions include:

  • Connecting the internal drain system to the external drain hose

  • Preventing back-siphoning of dirty water into the washer

  • Maintaining proper drain flow and pressure balance

  • Helping route water efficiently without hose kinks or stress

This component is essential for both sanitation and performance. Without a properly functioning siphon break, contaminated water could re-enter the washer, affecting cleaning results and potentially causing odour or hygiene issues.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Siphon Break Elbow

If this part becomes cracked, clogged, or disconnected, you may notice:

  • Water leaking from the bottom or rear of the washer

  • Slow or incomplete draining cycles

  • Water backing up into the drum or drain line

  • Washer not washing or rinsing properly

  • Visible cracks or damage on the elbow fitting

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
If your washer is experiencing drainage problems or leaks near the drain hose connection, replacing the siphon break elbow is often a direct and effective solution.
