- Pull the machine away from the wall and place a towel under the outlet.
- Loosen the clamp and remove the old hose.
- Push the new hose onto the outlet and secure it with a hose clamp.
- Route the hose to the standpipe or laundry sink and make sure it can't kink.
- Run a short drain cycle and check for leaks.
Tips
- Use a properly sized hose clamp for a secure seal; Maintenance Depot stocks 1", 1-1/2", 2" and 3" clamps.
- Don't push the hose too far into the standpipe. Leave an air gap so water doesn't siphon back.
Check your fill hoses too
While the machine is pulled out, inspect the fill hoses. A 6ft PVC washing machine fill hose is a cheap way to prevent a flood.
