El Dee Hi there, I managed to get the WH49x301 extension hose fitted and clamped onto one end of the drain hose but am having trouble with the other. There was a kink and it leaked, I trimmed the damaged bit and am now having difficulty getting it all to fit together. Have tried a bit of soap as per someone else's suggestion. Is there some sort of trick to get these two parts connected? (Also finding this an absurd way to correct a manufactures defect, the original hose is ridiculously short, grrr...) Hoping you can help as this is causing serious marital discord!
Answer El Dee, have you considered a longer drain hose GPF10L . In most cases, you need to trim the end of the corrugated hose off straight as possible. insert the end of the hose into the opening of the hose extension, as far as possible, it should be a tight fit, you may have to twist the hose to help seat it in the extension, Usually we would wrap the "splice" tightly with electrical tape, then install and tighten a worm gear hose clamp over the connection, just a 1/4 turn past finger tight. this will reduce the possibility of leaks from the spliced area.
