The External Drain Hose is an OEM part for GE washers. It is responsible for directing excess water from the washer out of the home during the drain cycle. The external drain hose connects from the bottom of the washer to an external drain point, such as a standpipe, drain pump, or utility sink.
Causes of a bad external drain hose can include cracks, leaks, or holes developing over prolonged use. Mineral buildup or contaminants inside the hose can also cause blockages.
Symptoms of a bad external drain hose include:
- Water failing to drain or draining slowly during the cycle
- Puddles or flooding occurring near or beneath the washer
- Strange draining noises or sounds emanating from the hose
This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
