W073 Generic Drain Hose Universal Washing Machine Part, Replacement Outlet Hose for Washers

W073 is a generic universal drain hose for washing machines, the flexible outlet hose that carries waste water from the machine's pump to the laundry tub or standpipe. No length or end sizes are listed for this hose, so measure your old one and look at how it connects at the machine end before ordering, to be sure this universal style suits your washer.

When a washing machine drain hose needs replacing

The drain hose takes the full flow from the pump each time the machine empties. Kinks, splits and perished rubber are the usual failures, along with a cracked hook end at the tub. A damaged hose shows up as water on the floor during the drain or spin, a machine that drains slowly or stops with a drain error because the hose is pinched, or a musty smell from old residue inside. If the machine isn't draining at all, check the pump filter and the hose for blockages before assuming the pump has failed.

Fitting the new drain hose

Switch off at the wall and let any water left in the machine drain into a tray or towel. Loosen the clamp at the outlet spigot, pull the old hose off and fit the new one with the clamp. Hook the other end into the tub or standpipe at the height your machine's manual recommends, keep it free of kinks, and run a rinse and drain to check for leaks.
