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

This washer drain hose routes wastewater from the drain pump to your standpipe or laundry tub. Replacing a cracked or kinked hose restores reliable draining and helps prevent leaks during the spin/drain cycle.

• Connects the washer's drain outlet to the household standpipe or laundry tub
• Molded bend helps position the hose correctly and reduces kinking
• Typical symptoms: water leaking at the back or onto the floor while draining
• Visible splits, soft spots, brittleness, or abrasion on the hose
• Slow or incomplete draining caused by kinks or internal blockage

• Disconnect power and move the washer to access the rear; shutting off water is recommended as a precaution
• Place towels or a shallow pan to catch residual water when removing the old hose
• Transfer and reuse existing clamps/brackets if required; fully seat and secure connections, and route the hose to avoid kinks or rubbing
• Insert the outlet end properly into the standpipe or tub per your model's instructions, then run a quick drain/spin to check for leaks
