Washing machine leaking from the drain hose

The drain hose carries waste water from the pump to your laundry trough or standpipe, and the hook holds the outlet end at the right height and stops it slipping out during a pump-out. Hoses harden and crack with age, get crushed when the machine is pushed back against the wall, or split near the pump end where they flex most. Leaks show up as water on the floor while draining, and a hose that falls out of the trough can flood the laundry in moments. A kinked hose can also slow draining and stop the spin.

Fitting the drain hose kit

Turn the washer off at the wall and drain any water first, keeping a bucket under the pump connection. Release the old hose and fit the new one in the same orientation. Clip the hook onto the outlet end, set it securely in the trough or standpipe without kinks, and run a rinse and spin to check it drains cleanly.
