Connect and Secure the Drain Hose

Connect and Secure the Drain Hose

Choose the drain setup that matches your home, then secure the hose exactly as shown. The washer uses a drain hose with an elbow bracket and a provided tie strap.

Before you start

• Make sure the drain hose is positioned correctly for your setup.
• Keep the end of the drain hose within the allowed distance shown in the manual.
• If the drain hose is extended too far beyond the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

Drain into a standpipe

1. Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe. 2. Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Drain into a laundry tub

1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket. 2. Connect the elbow bracket within 4 inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose. 3. Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the laundry tub. 4. Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Drain through a wall drain

If the water valves and drain are built into the wall:

1. Fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses. 2. Use the provided tie strap. 3. Install the tie strap with the ribbed side on the inside.

Hose length and position limits

• The manual shows the drain connection height range as 24–96 inches (61–244 cm).
• Do not extend the drain hose more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket.

Important caution

- If the hose extends more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

Related note from this page

This page also begins the leveling instructions for the washer. It notes that the drum spins at very high speeds and that the washer must be on a solid, level surface to minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement. Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to malfunction. Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary, since extending them more than necessary can also cause vibration.
