The Whirlpool 280190 is an alternative drain hose meant for Whirlpool top-loading washing machines. It is an important function that guides wastewater from the washer or dryer during the drain cycle. The hose is typically made of strong, flexible plastic and has clamps on both ends for connecting it to the washing machine's drain pump and standpipe. When the washing machine starts the drain cycle, the drain pump switches on creating a compressed flow of water that forces the used wash water out of the tub and via the drain hose. The clamps at the hose's ends ensure a watertight connection and prevent leaking. The hose's right length and suppleness allow for easy installation while preventing kinks that could hinder water flow.
