Is anyone else has issues with the Whirlpool Siphon Break kits that are currently available? The current part number is 76660. The internal parts of this siphon break don’t hold up very well and will actually pull out of place effectively blocking the drain port. We have always used the Maytag version of this product 201112 or later ones were 12001586 until they were discontinued. The internal parts of the Maytag siphon break are designed differently so they are much more durable and do not come apart. I have made some attempts to contact Whirlpool to see if they can redesign the Whirlpool siphon break so it doesn’t fail.
We have not had many issues with siphon break failures. We are using a different part number. We use the 285320 which is about ½ the price of the 76660 and can also be used on plastic drain hoses.
