Customer Questions and Answers for Drain Hose by Whirlpool

The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a flexible tube that diverts water from the washer tub during drain cycles, guiding it out of the appliance and into a nearby drain source such as a sink. 

Causes of a bad drain hose can include cracks or abrasions developing over time due to repeated bending and flexing during drain cycles. Mineral or hard water buildup inside the hose can also lead to clogs. Other potential causes are physical damage from rodents, pets, or accidental punctures.

Symptoms of a bad drain hose include:

• Incomplete draining or water remaining in the washer tub after cycles  
• Leaks or drips forming around the drain hose connection point
• Puddles or water pooling under or around the washing machine
• Slow drainage during spin cycles

This replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore washer models.
