Things You'll Need:
- Phillips head screwdriver Wrench set or pair of pliers Bucket
-
Step 1
Write down the model and serial numbers of your appliance, as well as the brand name. These are printed on a steel plate bolted to the back of the washer. Take this information to the parts store so you can buy the right replacement hose for your machine.
-
Step 2
Unplug the washing machine's power cord.
-
Step 3
Lift the old drain hose straight out of the drain pipe and lower it into a bucket to allow any residual water to empty out of the hose without making a mess.
-
Step 4
Remove the old hose by unscrewing the clamp that attaches it to the back of the washer. Use a screwdriver to remove the clamp while holding the hose close to the clamp with a pair of pliers to prevent it from rotating while you work.
-
Step 5
Check the clamp. If it is in good shape and not damaged by rust, you can reuse it.
-
Step 6
Slip the clamp over the straight end of the new hose and slide it up the hose about 1 inch.
-
Step 7
Fit the hose over the metal connector on the back of the machine and slide the clamp over the hose where it seats on the connector.
-
Step 8
Tighten the clamp securely and wiggle the hose to be sure it won't accidentally pop off the washer.
-
Step 9
Slide the washing machine back into position in your laundry room, insert the drain hose into the drain pipe and reconnect the power, making sure your hands are dry.
