Drain Hose Assembly

Drain Hose Assembly

Kenneth from AZ

We had water leaking from the top of pedastal or bottom of machine when any draining was present..

Pads under feet to slide Washer into Living Rm to work on Washer were a must. 3/8" socket set to remove pedistal, plyers, Phillips screw driver, Straight blade screw driver.

Move Washer to work area..Lay Washer on side on a protective blanket. Remove pedestal. Remove screws from back access panel..Now through bottom access hole & Back access panel you slide off clamps & release anchors for the drain hose. Also there is a protective plastic piece that the hose goes through as it comes through the back of the washer that will have to be reused. Changing the drain hose is not a terribly hard task, but I had to stand up the washer & remove the top & front panel for access to troubleshoot which hose was leaking as there are four hoses in the same general area. The drain hose was rotten from the inside right off the pump & was not really visible but a 1/4" cut on the top of the drain hose. Once I started to remove the hose it started to tear alot more rather quickly.. New hose was a direct replacement & worked good.. I will add that laying the washer on its side was the best option to remove pedestal as my wife & myself were not strong enough to lift the washer off pedestal so laying on side took more room to service washer but was really the only way we could complete the task in a safe manner...My experience level is 40+ yrs of Industrial Maintenance work. This task would be way to complicated for alot of folks IMO.

Drain hose was leaking

Philips screwdriver and channel lock pliers

Fairly straightforward to replace. Just had to get access through the back panel and reached up front on the washer to remove the clamp from the old drain hose, fed the new hose in and put the clamp on. Tied down the hose with the installed tie downs and it was done. Just like it was made for it, oh wait, it was made for it
