How to replace the drain hose of washing machines of different brands?

Washing machines are equipped with a drain and bulk component. How to change the drain hose in the washing machine, and what is its difference from the bulk? The difference between the two elements is in their location and the functions they perform. The bulk accessory is attached to the structure from the outside. Fastening the drain is made from the inside. To replace the latter, a partial disassembly of the machine is supposed, because it will be necessary to gain access to its body for repair.

Tip

Before replacing the old drain hose, it is better to stock up with a bucket and rags in advance. You need to be prepared for the fact that water can pour out of the removed parts of the washing machine, designed for liquid flow.

For different brands of machines, the drainage element comes out either on top or bottom of the device. This component of washing machines is not eternal, therefore, some time after the start of operation of a new washing machine, it may well become worthless. Although replacing the accessory is fraught with some difficulties, nevertheless, it is more than realistic to do it yourself. Self-replacement of the hose will significantly save your money on the call of the master.

Buy a new hose

The drain component is an important element without which the device will not be able to function normally. The task of this part of the design is to divert water to the sewage system. Different drain accessories are suitable for different brands of machines, so before you buy a new hose to replace the previous one, find out what parameters the old one had. The cost of a new item is usually low.

Tip

The purchased drainage element must be properly inspected for leaks.

There are different types of accessories designed to drain water during washing.

1. Drain component of standard length. The sizes of the classic version range from 1 to 5 meters. If this is not enough for your brand of washing machine, you can connect several of these hoses to each other using clamps.
2. Telescopic hose. This accessory is universal. Available in compressed form, thanks to this a hose 0.5 meters long can be stretched to 1.5. This is a mobile and convenient component, the only drawback of which is a large corrugated wave. It can give a fairly strong vibration when washing. If you bought a telescopic version of the drain device, stretch it gently to avoid a breakout.
3. Coiled accessory for water drainage. It is made from small modules (50-55 cm). When installing such a hose, you can vary its length in multiples of the size of the module.

The most convenient way to get to the drainage accessory in the Indesit, Samsung and similar models is to start disassembling through the bottom of the machine.

Tip

Each brand of washing machine is arranged a little differently. Therefore, in the process of disassembling the machine and disconnecting the hose to replace it, you can take a photo. Using the photo, in the future you can not worry about the correct assembly, because put everything in its place as it was in the original version.

For replacement, it is better to use the proposed algorithm of actions.

1. Turn off the water and power to the machine.The hose must not be replaced if laundry is washed in the machine. If washing occurs, wait until it is completed and then empty the drum.
2. Move the washing machine away from the wall. To make it more convenient to carry out manipulations with its lower part, tilt it and lean it against any reliable object.
3. Next, remove the base panel.
4. Proceed to remove the filter from the drain pump. This is best done slowly. This is where the bucket comes in handy to empty the remaining water there.
5. Remove bolts or other snail mounts. Then take off her.
6. Loosen the clamp that secures the hose to the drain pump and disconnect the hose.
7. After detaching the hose, pull it and thus remove it from the structure.
8. Install a new drainage component. Fix it on the pump using the clamp.
9. Put back all removed parts of the washing machine.
10. After installation, you should make sure that all the fastenings are of high quality.

Unreliable connections may cause leakage.

Attaching the hose to the body and the location of the end of the drainage accessory

After the accessory is brought out from the inside of the machine body, it needs to be fixed on it. It's wrong to just lower it to the floor. A washing machine is usually equipped with a hook or a ring. On this mount and you need to hang the drain component.

The end of the drainage hose can be thrown over the edge of the sink. In this case, the hose must be positioned at a height of approximately 50-90 cm. Use a plastic holder to bend the end of the drainage accessory. This is done so that the drainage element does not tear.

Another option is to place a drain pipe in the sink in the branch. In this case, the pipe branch should be higher than the drain siphon so that the hose is not lower than half a meter above the floor. For a reliable connection, use a clamp. And finally, another connection option - directly to the drainage pipe.

If it was necessary to extend the drain accessory

This situation may occur if you bought a new drain component, and it, taking into account the layout of the apartment and the location of the washing machine, was too short. In this case, it may be necessary to lengthen it. To make the accessory longer, select fasteners and a connector to ensure a reliable and tight connection. To extend the drain hose, use a thin plastic or metal-plastic tube (approximately 20 mm in diameter), a telescopic tube or a corrugation.

How to lengthen?

1. Connect the 2 parts to each other using the tube inside, ensuring a snug fit and tightness. Position the connection place in the center of the connection tube.
2. Secure the rubber tips with clamps. Make it as tight as possible, but without pulling so as not to provoke a gap.
3. If you have a plastic tip, you need to cut a similar hose into it, and put on a rubber tip over it. Secure the connection with clamps.
4. To ensure greater reliability, connect the ends of the tubes to each other. With the drainage component in place, monitor for the absence of sharp objects that could tear it.

Important!

Applying the extension of the drainage component, it is necessary to be prepared for the fact that this can create additional load on the drain pump. He will have to drive water through an additional area. In addition, when lengthening there is a connection point. There is also a risk of leakage.
