Customer Questions and Answers for Drain Hose (Washer) by Ge

This washer drain hose carries used water from the drain pump to your home standpipe or laundry sink. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or leaking hose restores proper draining and helps prevent puddles and water damage.

• Directs wastewater from the washer during drain and spin cycles
• Replaces a hose that is split, brittle, kinked, or clogged
• Symptoms can include slow or no draining, water leaks during drain, or water left in the tub
• Visible wear or punctures on the hose indicate replacement is needed

• Unplug the washer and turn off water; pull the unit forward for access
• Expect residual water—use towels or a shallow pan
• Move the hose at the drain pump outlet and route to the standpipe or sink; secure with existing clamp/retainer
• Ensure a smooth, unkinked run with a proper high loop; test a drain cycle and check for leaks
