Washer Drain Hoses for Home Appliances

The washing machine drain hose is a key part that carries used water safely out of your washer during wash and rinse cycles. A standard hose connects the washer to household plumbing, while a drain hose extension adds extra length when needed. 

The drain hose clamp holds the hose firmly in place, and if a hose becomes cracked, clogged, or loose, you may notice slow draining, water pooling around the machine, odd noises, or error codes. Cleaning the hose regularly and replacing it when needed ensures consistent performance, protects your washer from damage, and keeps laundry cycles efficient. Complete drain hose kits make replacement simple.

At HnK Parts, we offer genuine dishwasher drain hoses, hose clamps, hose connectors, hose extensions, elbow fittings, sealing washers, quick-connect fittings, hose clips, drain hose adapters, couplings, and complete drain hose kits for Samsung, Whirlpool, LG, Bosch, and Maytag.

The drain hose carries wastewater from your washing machine to the plumbing. Replace it if it’s cracked, leaking, clogged, or showing signs of wear.
