What You Need

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and parts ready:

• New Samsung drain hose part #DC97-17093A(Locate your model number to look up the correct part for your unit)
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Flathead screwdriver
• Adjustable pliers or clamp pliers
• Towels or absorbent rags
• Container to catch drain water
• Gloves

Safety is also important. Be sure to unplug your Samsung washer before starting this project. Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves as well to avoid leaks. Have your new drain hose ready to install before removing the old one.

Removing the Old Drain Hose

With your tools gathered, you’re ready to remove the faulty drain hose:

1. Open the drain filter door on the lower front left of the Samsung washer using a flathead screwdriver. Pry it open gently.
2. Place a towel and drainage container underneath. Unplug the drain pump filter and allow all the water to drain out of the old drain hose.
3. Once drained, replace the plug. Now tilt the washer carefully onto its side, placing it on top of a box or stable support.
4. Disconnect the hoses inside the washer to access the drain hose clamp. You may need pliers to squeeze the clamp and slide it up the hose.
5. Detach the old drain hose from the washer once you’ve removed the clamp. Make sure you have a towel ready to catch any remaining water.
6. Remove the rear access panel using a Phillips screwdriver.
7. At the back, unbind any retaining clamps or ties around the drain hose.
8. Pull the drain hose free from the washer cabinet and set it aside. You’re now ready to install the new OEM replacement hose.

Installing the Replacement Drain Hose

Follow these steps to safely install your new Samsung drain hose:

1. Before inserting the new drain hose, slide the hose clamp over one end. This makes it easier to secure later.
2. Feed the new drain hose through the rear cabinet opening where you removed the old one.
3. Reattach any brackets or retainers around the hose to hold it in place.
4. Inside the washer, push the drain hose onto the pump outlet and secure it with the clamp. Make sure it’s fitted snugly.
5. Reconnect any internal hoses you detached earlier to access the drain hose. Push them firmly onto the fittings.
6. At the bottom rear, loop the drain hose through the retaining clamp and tighten it. Make sure there are no kinks.
7. Return the Samsung washer to an upright position slowly and gently. Be careful not to bend or damage any hoses.
8. Finally, reinstall the rear access panel using your Phillips head screwdriver.

That’s it! With all the connections secure and no leaks, your drain hose replacement is complete.

Finishing the Repair

Before using your Samsung washer again, finish up:

1. Reconnect the water supply hoses and turn on both hot and cold valves. Check for any leaks.
2. Plug the washer back in and make sure the power is restored.
3. Run a test cycle to verify proper drainage and check for leaks. Use towels around the washer just in case.
4. Reset any control panel errors by power cycling the washer. The codes should clear after a successful test cycle.
5. Discard the old drain hose appropriately. Make sure to recycle it if possible.
6. Give the washer area a wipe-down to clean up any leakage from the process.

With that, you can feel good knowing you successfully completed this repair yourself. Your Samsung washer should now drain smoothly without any issues. Nice work!
