Attach the drain hose to the
drain outlet on the rear of the
washer near the washer base.
End furthest from the U-bracket
should be attached to washer.
Install the clamp on the drain
hose and tighten to prevent
leakage of water.
Insert remaining end of drain hose (shorter distance from
U-bracket) into drain pipe or sink.
IMPORTANT: There should be a minimum of 30” from
the drain hose insertion point to the base of the unit.
NOTE: If longer drain hose
is required, order drain hose

part number WH49X316.
Connect additional drain
hose (contained in kit) to
original hose with hose
clamp (contained in kit).
NOTE: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain
pipe can cause a siphoning action. No more than 5" of
hose should be in the drain pipe. There must be an air
gap around the drain hose. A snug fit can also cause a
siphoning action.
