The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is responsible for directing and carrying away water that is pumped out of the washer tub during drain cycles. The drain hose connects from the bottom of the washtub to the household plumbing or out the back of the machine. This washer drain hose includes the retaining clips to hold in place.
Causes of a bad drain hose can include mineral deposits from hard water building up inside the hose, cracking from flexing during use, rodent damage, or general degradation from years of service.
Symptoms of a faulty drain hose include:
- Water not completely draining from the washer tub after cycles
- Puddles or flooding under the appliance
- Strange noises or vibrations during drainage
This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

Washing machine not draining completely Kenneth L. • Telford , PA • October 16, 2016
I searched YouTube and found several videos that helped me diagnose the most probable cause. I learned how to open the cabinet and access the parts from the videos. I ordered a new discharge hose and a replacement pump. The parts came in the next day with the standard shipping option! It turned out that the old discharge hose was blocked. I decided to replace the pump also since I had the machine open and the new pump was only $22. It's amazing what you can learn online!
