Function & Importance of the Drain Hose

The washer drain hose is responsible for carrying used water from the washing machine tub to your home’s drain system (such as a standpipe, sink, or floor drain).

The 96746 drain hose is typically a flexible tube (approximately 33–36 inches in length) designed to handle repeated water flow, pressure changes, and movement during wash cycles.

Using a Genuine OEM Whirlpool hose ensures:

• Proper fit and secure connection to the washer pump and drain outlet

• Resistance to cracking, kinking, and wear over time

• Reliable water flow during drain and spin cycles

If the drain hose fails, the washer cannot properly expel water, leading to performance issues and potential water damage.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Washer Drain Hose

A worn, cracked, or clogged drain hose can cause noticeable washing machine problems. Replacing the 96746 washer drain hose can often resolve:

• Water leaking behind or underneath the washer

• Washer not draining or draining slowly

• Standing water left in the tub after a cycle

• Visible cracks, splits, or bulges in the hose

• Unusual gurgling or restricted drainage

Drain hose failures are commonly caused by wear from repeated bending, internal buildup, or physical damage.

If your washer is experiencing these issues, replacing the drain hose is a straightforward and effective fix.
