There is some foam insulation, on the drain
hose inside the washer, to avoid damage
from wear due to movement against the
side panel of the washer.
There is a clip that holds the drain hose at
the back corner of the washer.
nOTe: Each washer comes from the
factory with a “U” Bend fixture to be used
on the drain hose end that fits into the stand
pipe or over the sink edge. The “U” Bend
needs to be fitted to the drain hose at the
very end with no more than 2 inches of the
end of the drain hose extending past the
end of the “U” Bend. Secure excess drain
hose to plumbing or another structure to
avoid having the drain hose rubbing or
bouncing on other surfaces, which could
cause wear of the drain hose and leaks.
TeCH TiP: Do not insert excess drain hose
into a stand pipe. This will cause siphoning
of water out of the washer and down the
drain during the fill process, which can
result in a F20 code.
