How to Replace the Drain Hose in a Samsung Washing Machine

Automatic washing machines have a fairly long service life. And with proper care, they can last even longer. Some simple problems that arise over time can be fixed yourself. In this article, we'll look at how to replace the drain hose. This procedure is straightforward and doesn't require any specialized knowledge.

Why change it?

The drain hose in a washing machine is essential for draining used water. It's located near the outlet and extends from the drain pump, which in turn supplies liquid to the hose. It's typically made of polypropylene. This material is resistant to high water temperatures and harsh detergents. However, despite its high durability, replacing the hose on a Samsung machine eventually becomes necessary. Let's look at the main reasons why a new hose may be needed.

1. A broken connection. A washing machine comes with a standard-length hose. Often, owners extend it to make it longer. The connection is where the hose most often breaks.
2. Damage. Possible mechanical impact on the part leads to material rupture. Water is leaking. Replacement is necessary immediately.
3. Blockage. Over time, scale builds up on the inner walls of the hose, detergent residue sticks to it, and water can no longer flow through.

Changing the hose yourself

Replacing a hose is a simple repair procedure and can be done by yourself. The most important thing when working with devices is to remember safety precautions.Therefore, first of all, let's carry out the preparatory work:

• disconnect the washing machine from the power supply;
• close the pipe that supplies water to the machine;
• prepare a container where we will drain the remaining water and a rag;
• Pull out the washing machine so that it is easily accessible;
• drain any existing water by removing the inlet pipe;
• Unscrew the filter cover on the front panel, there may also be residual water there, drain it.

Now you can begin replacing the part. The easiest way to remove the drain hose is from the bottom. To do this, you'll need to tilt the Samsung washing machine forward or to the side. You'll see that the hose is attached to the volute. Let's begin replacing the faulty part.

1. Release the drain pump by unscrewing the bolts.
2. Remove the part and loosen the clamp that connects the pump to the hose.
3. The other end also needs to be disconnected.
4. Take a new hose. We'll install the part in the same order as we removed it.
5. We attach the hose to the pump with a clamp.
6. We again attach the second end to the body using a clamp.

This completes the replacement. All that's left is to return the washing machine to its original location and connect it to the power supply.

Don't forget to open the water supply tap.

How to buy a new hose

As you can see, replacing a drain hose is quite easy. However, sometimes the problem arises because you purchased the wrong hose. Of course, you can use some simple tricks to avoid making a mistake. For example, take the old hose with you to the store. Or write down the model and provide the information to the sales assistant. We suggest understanding the different types of drain hoses available. Then you can choose the right one yourself, without relying on the expertise of the store staff.

1. A standard or classic hose. It fits almost any model. Lengths range from 1 to 5 meters, enough to install a washing machine in any room.
2. Telescopic. The hose can extend up to one and a half meters. On one hand, this advantage is very convenient. On the other hand, when stretched, the material between the folds vibrates strongly.
3. Coiled. This type of hose consists of modules approximately half a meter long. Its design allows for adjustable length.

Once you've selected the correct replacement part and followed the instructions above, you can easily replace the damaged hose yourself.
