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

This washer drain hose routes wastewater from the drain pump to your home standpipe or laundry tub. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or clogged hose helps stop leaks and restores proper draining so cycles complete reliably.

• Directs discharge water from the washer to the household drain
• Maintains proper flow when correctly routed and secured
• Common symptoms: water leaking at the rear/under the washer, slow or no drain, long-drain errors, visible cracks or kinks
• Visible wear, brittleness, or residue buildup on the hose indicates replacement is needed

• Unplug the washer and move it for rear access; place towels or a pan to catch residual water
• Loosen clamps/fasteners and disconnect the old hose from the pump and drain connection; note the original routing
• Install the new hose in the same orientation; avoid kinks and secure all connections firmly
• Position the outlet per your model's instructions to prevent siphoning; run a test drain and check for leaks
