I replaced the hose clamps on my Whirlpool with worm clamps back in 2021, haven’t had an issue. Recently went to Home Depot to get some more hose clamps since I haven’t got a chance to replace the hose clamps that go from the pump trap to the pump, along with the hose clamps to the hose that goes from the pump to the drain hose.
Ended up having to replace the hose from the pump trap to the pump since it ended up splitting on me when I was dismantling the machine for a cleaning and painting that I wasn’t anew to get to 3 years ago back in 2021. Crazy as this sounds, can fabricate new hoses out of plumbing parts, even made a new piece for the pressure switch and recirculating lint filter/automatic dispensers. Definitely more beefed up than the originals.
