Draining the waste liquid from the tank is an integral stage in the functioning of the automatic machine. It is important that water is removed from the machine correctly. The drainage system of the washing machine includes pipes, a pump for pumping liquid, and a drain hose itself, through which water is discharged into the sewer network. If there are any defects on the hose, the likelihood of a drain tube rupture increases. To avoid flooding the apartment and neighbors below, it is better to immediately change the drain hose in the LG washing machine if it is damaged.
Description of the replacement procedure
Installing a new drainage hose on an ElG washing machine with your own hands is quite simple. The main thing is to understand its connection diagram. One end of the drain hose is connected to the sewer outlet, the other goes deep into the washing machine body, connecting to the volute pipe. For trouble-free fastening of the tube to the sewer, craftsmen use a special tee, into which the drain hose is connected. There is a similar method - attaching it to the siphon fitting, which greatly simplifies connection procedure. Before disconnecting the drain hose, a number of mandatory measures must be taken:
To remove the drain hose, loosen the clamps holding it on both sides.
turn off the power to the washing machine;
close the water intake valve;
remove any remaining water from the drain system. To do this, open the door, which is located at the bottom of the front wall of the machine, unscrew the dust filter cover, after placing a small container under the hole.
To work with the drain hose, you will need dry rags, since during dismantling some of the water may spill onto the floor. Disconnecting the drain hose from the sewer pipe is easy. Access to the output is free and you can cope with this task in a few minutes. To remove the drain sleeve from the snail, you will have to lay the machine on its side, so you can easily get to the pump.
LG automatic washing machines can be equipped with a bottom or not. If there is a bottom wall, unscrew the bolts and move the panel to the side. If the pan has a leakage protection system sensor, you will have to unfasten its wiring and remove the mounting screw. Access to the location of the drainage hose has been obtained, you can begin to remove it. Loosen the clamp holding the tube and remove the drain hose.
At the same time, you can check the pump for contamination and, if necessary, clean it.
Now you should install the new drain hose in place. It is important to tighten the retaining clamp well, but not too tightly. The other end is connected to the siphon fitting or directly to the sewer pipe. Make sure that the drain hose does not break, but has the correct bend along its entire length. Plug in the washing machine and run the “Rinse” mode to check if the hose is leaking.
Why is it necessary to change the hose?
The water collected by the automatic washing machine into the tank is discharged into the sewage system at the end of each washing or rinsing stage. How to understand that the drain hose needs to be replaced so that the next wash does not result in flooding of the apartment?
Firstly, when inspecting the tube and finding kinks and damage on it, it is better not to hesitate, but to dismantle the hose and install a new one.You should not try to isolate the damaged areas; such measures will only help for a short time.
Secondly, when the drainage pipe is clogged. You can understand that the device is clogged by observing the washer. Perhaps it has become slower to drain water from the tank, or is starting to emit an unpleasant odor.
Thirdly, the hose may need to be replaced if the tube that came with the new LG washing machine is too short. You should not try to lengthen the hose with your own hands; the more joints there are along its length, the more likely the possibility of a breakthrough. It is better to immediately buy a suitable hose and connect the washing machine to the sewer.
It is important to select the correct replacement drain hose. When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the length of the tube and the diameter of its seat. The drain hose can be coiled, that is, assembled from several modules, the required number of which is calculated based on the area of the room, or telescopic - presented in the form of a corrugated tube.
