Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Drain Hose by Ge

This washer drain hose carries used water from the tub to your home drain. Replacing a cracked, clogged, or kinked hose helps restore proper draining and prevents leaks during the drain/spin portion of the cycle.

• Routes wastewater from the washer to the household standpipe or laundry sink
• Damage or blockage can cause leaks, slow or no draining, or water on the floor
• Replace if you see cracks, splits, bulges, or persistent leaking at the back of the washer
• A pinched or flattened hose can also lead to standing water after a cycle

• Unplug the washer and turn off water; place towels or a pan to catch residual water
• Note the routing; loosen clamps and remove the old hose from the washer outlet and drain connection
• Install the new hose and secure with clamps; avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Verify correct drain height/air gap to prevent siphoning, then run a drain/spin to check for leaks
