The procedure for replacing the drain hose in the washing machine

To operate the washing machine without failures, timely delivery of liquid and, consequently, its drain is required. However, with frequent use, the corrugated tube can wear out: crack or fray. Replacement process drain hose of any washing machine requires disassembly of the technology itself and a little dexterity. If you follow the correct sequence of actions and practical recommendations, you can easily replace the part.

Types and features of drain hoses

The product is a light-colored polypropylene hose with rubber fittings of different diameters (from 18 to 22 mm) at both ends. Its main function is to drain water into the sewage system during operation.Depending on the length and functions, there are 3 types of drain hoses. These include:

1. Normal drain hose. It has a fixed size (from 1 to 5 meters). If it is necessary to increase the length, connect the two products with two clamps and an extension cord.
   

2. Telescopic universal hose. Initially, the size of the device is about 60 cm in compressed form. In working condition, the device stretches to two meters. The main disadvantage of the product - susceptibility to blockages, strong vibration due to the corrugation of the hose.
   

3. Hose in shape coves. It is a product on which serifs are applied, allowing to measure the required length and shorten the module (0.5 m). If the hose is used too long, it will lead to blockage, stagnation and, further, car breakdown. Therefore, it is recommended to trim the module to an optimal size.

Different models of washing machines have an unequal arrangement and fastening of a drain hose. However, you can identify general troubleshooting steps that are recommended regardless of brand.

To begin troubleshooting the product, drain the liquid from the washing machine.To do this, you will need to remove the bottom cover, unscrew the drain filter and release the water.

Preparatory process

To replace the hose, it is necessary to disassemble the equipment by disconnecting the part from the pump - pump. It is more convenient to first remove the cover from the machine by performing the following sequence of actions:

1. Unscrew the screws on the back wall of the device.
2. Slide the cover back.
3. When the panel is out of the grooves, remove and set aside.

Depending on the access to the drain hose for machines of different manufacturers, there are various options for further actions. Consider the main ones: the drain product is located in the frontal part, on the side or behind the structure.

How to remove the back of the washing machine

The location of the base of the drain hose behind

This option is used by such manufacturers of home appliances: Indesit, Lg, Samsung, Beko, Candy, Ardo, Whirpool, Ariston. When the panel was removed (as described above), we perform the following steps to install a new drain hose:

1. Take a photo of mounting clamp to properly install the new product.
2. Loosen the clamp and completely unfasten the part.
3. Slowly remove the old hose and secure the new product using the photo.
4. Reassemble the parts in reverse order.
5. Having connected the free end to the drain system, check the tightness of the connection.

The location of the base of the drain hose on the front panel

This option is used by such manufacturers of home appliances as Bosch, Siemens. To replace the drain hose washing machines remove the front plastic surface. To do this, move the bottom panel a distance of about 5-6 cm and detach the connector with the wires from the module locking device. After we shift the panel and set aside.

When access to the drain hose is open, remove the part, loosening the clamp and removing the fixing elements with a screwdriver. We change part of the car to a new one by performing the steps in the opposite order. At the end, do not forget to check the tightness of the connection parts to the pump, and whether there are bends on the hose.

Location of the base of the drain hose on the side

Do washing equipment vertically loaded This part is located differently: from the side of the side wall. Therefore, it is necessary to do all the actions described above, but only by removing the side panel. To do this, unscrew the bolts that are located on the adjacent sides of the panel.Then slide the side of the structure down. After freeing up access to the hose, it is necessary to detach its inner part and change it to a new product.

Out of stock drain pump

When operating the unit, the situation may be such that liquid does not drain from tank. Then you need to replace the drain pump.

To do this, you do not even need to remove the plastic panel of the washer, since the pump is changing from the side bottoms (for brands such as Samsung, Indesit, lg washing machine and others). The algorithm works as follows:

1. De-energize the unit and close the water tap.
2. Lay a cloth and place a typewriter on it. At the same time there should be a drain pump on top.
3. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws and remove the pump.
4. We press on the drain pump and bring it outside.
5. Disconnect the wires leading to the pump. It is enough to remove the spare part from the pump.
6. We drain the remaining liquid into the container prepared in advance, loosening the clamps and disconnecting the drain hose with the pipe.
7. We put a new pump in the washing machine, performing actions in the reverse order, fixing it on the bolts or snapping on the fasteners (for example, in some samsung models).

Important! Before you fasten the new part, clean the snail from blockages and dirt.

In German marks, the front panel is removed to replace the drain pump, and in the vertical-loading technique (for example, Zanussi), the rear wall is removed. A detailed pump replacement algorithm with photos is given. here.

In order for your washing machine to serve for a long time and perform its functions without failures, follow the recommendations for replacing the main parts and follow the work of the equipment, as well as follow the recommended preventive measures on care.
