How to remove the drain hose from a washing machine?

How to remove a washing machine drain hose Removing the inlet hose of a washing machine does not require any special tricks. To do this, simply shut off the water supply and unscrew the hose nut from the body of the washing device and the tee. It is not so easy to disconnect the drain hose, because one end of it is fixed inside the device. This small publication will help you remove the drain hose of your washing machine without much difficulty.

How to dismantle a part?

You should always start by disconnecting the automatic device from the power and water supply for safety reasons. Then you should pay attention to the design of the drainage system. The drain hose on one side is connected to a sewer pipe or siphon, on the other, inside the machine it is attached with a clamp to the snail pipe. The drainage tube is connected to the sewer through a special tee, to which a hose or siphon is connected. The drain hose, in turn, is attached to this element using a fitting. Before disconnecting the drain hose from the machine, you must do the following:

disconnect the washing machine from the power supply;
turn off the water supply tap;
prepare dry rags in case residual water spills on the floor when dismantling the drain hose;
loosen the special hose clamp;
remove any water remaining in the drainage system. To do this, you need to replace the water container and unscrew the dust filter cover, which is located behind the front door of the device.

You can easily unhook the drain hose from the sewer in a few minutes. When removing the drain hose from the volute fitting, it is easier to reach the pump by laying the washing machine on its side.For washing devices with a bottom, it is necessary to unscrew the bolts and remove the panel for a while. If there is a leakage protection sensor on the pan, you should disconnect its wiring and remove the mounting screw. After this, you need to loosen the clamp securing the tube and begin dismantling the drain hose.

Before reinstalling the drain hose, it is necessary to clean the pump from dirt. During installation, it is necessary to tighten the hose clamp sufficiently tightly, but not excessively. Then you need to attach the second end of the drainage hose to the siphon fitting or directly to the sewer pipe. Upon completion of installation work, you should check the hose fastenings for leaks by connecting the machine and starting the “Rinse” program.

Important! When installing the drain hose, you must ensure that it is correctly curved along its entire length, without creases.

Why do you need to remove the hose?

During each wash, water is first drawn through the filling system of the machine into the tank, and then after each stage (washing, rinsing) in spent form is drained into the sewer system through the drain hose. To prevent a suddenly broken hose from causing a flood in the room during the next wash, you need to monitor its condition. What should you pay attention to? the drain hose may burst

It is important to regularly inspect the drain hose to ensure its integrity. If kinks, deformations, cracks or other damage are detected on the drainage pipe, it is better to immediately replace it by installing a new drain hose. Attempts to temporarily isolate damaged areas often lead to undesirable consequences at the most inopportune moment.
It is necessary to promptly remove clogged drains.The water used during the washing process can carry not only a lot of gradually accumulating small debris, but also larger parts that accidentally become detached. Any contamination is dangerous for the operation of the washing machine, since it clogs the water drainage device. Signs of a blockage may include: bad smell, slow drain.
Sometimes a new machine comes with a drain hose that is not long enough. It is better not to try to lengthen it yourself, since artificially increasing the number of joints on the hose increases the likelihood of a water breakthrough. In this case, you must immediately purchase a drain hose of suitable length and securely connect the washing machine to the sewer system.

When choosing a replacement drain device, you should correctly select the length of the hose and the diameter of the place where the tube will fit. Drain hoses are standard polypropylene (classic), telescopic (in the form of a corrugated pipe) and coiled (collapsible), consisting of modules, the required number of which is determined taking into account the area of the room. It is always better to make a choice after consulting with a specialist.
