RCA Whirlpool 1962 model need part

[heypal]

I have a old RCA Whirlpool washer 2 cycle three speed great washer but my hose dome hose blew out last week. Of course I have found it nearly impossible to find the hose as Whirlpool no longer makes the part. Yet if someone has a old model and wants to sell the part I will be willing to pay for it.

The part number is 17288
Let me know
Thanks

Also search for part # 97606 ( a newer WP part #  )  and LP590 a replacement hose made by Gemline. I was able to find one a few years ago.

Jeff is spot on. The 97606 hose / 97723 plastic dome are the replacement items. Several years ago I was in a similar situation restoring a '59 Kenmore and needed to replace this item.

These are starting to get difficult to find, but I did find a supplier years ago that has some odd ball Whirlpool items on their shelves out West. Looks like they still have a few locations with these items in stock.

BTW - do you have any photos of your Whirlpool you could share with us?
