How to correctly replace the drain hose of a Samsung washing machine with your own hands?

The need to replace the drain hose on a Samsung washing machine rarely occurs.

You can cope with the task either on your own or by calling a specialist in repairing household appliances.

In what cases does the hose need to be changed and how to determine this? How to remove it and replace it with a new one? You will find answers to these and other questions in the article.

When is it necessary to replace?

Replace the hose with a new one may be necessary in several cases:

• insufficient length of the existing one;
• material wear.

If the integrity of the hose is damaged, it is recommended to replace it completely. Repair with clamps is not advisable due to poor reliability and short service life. For the same reason, it is not recommended to extend the missing length.

A clogged hose is not a serious reason to replace the part.. If it is not worn, it should be cleaned and returned to its place. But in cases where, in addition to the blockage, there are cracks and general wear and tear, it is better to replace it in order to prevent a serious leak from occurring.

Rules for choosing a part for a Samsung washing machine

The drain part that comes with the washing machine is made of propylene. The cross-section diameter ranges from 18 mm to 22 mm. The ends of the hose have rubber attachments that ensure reliable fastening of the part to the machine itself and connection to the sewage system.

One of three popular types of hoses can be used for draining:

1. Regular standard, from 1 to 5 meters long.
2. Universal telescopic. In a compressed state - about 0.6 m, in an extended state - up to 2 m. During operation, it becomes clogged more often than other types, and vibrates more strongly when the machine is operating.
3. Released in a bay. It can be cut to the desired size using the existing notches.

For example, along the wall, not diagonally. It should be positioned freely - without sharp bends or squeezing.

The optimal distance from the car to the drain is no more than 3.5 meters. Based on this parameter, it is advisable to choose the location of the device itself and the location of the drain into the sewer pipe.

It is also necessary to consider which drainage option will be used:

• temporary - with drainage into the bathtub,
• stationary - with a connection to the sewer.

The latter is preferable, but the connection must be made in compliance with all technological aspects and tightness requirements.

In any organization, the flow must be freeand the edge of the hose is not immersed in water during draining.

Preparation for the process

Depending on the model, Samsung washing machines may have different fastenings and the location of the entrance to the drain hose. Despite the nuances of the design, all machines require preliminary preparation before carrying out the main work.

To do this you need:

1. Unplug the machine.
2. Shut off the water supply to the device.
3. Check that there are no things in the drum.
4. Drain the remaining water through the bottom filter.To do this, open the lid located on the front panel below and drain the water through the emergency hose into a jar or onto a rag.
5. Disconnect the outer end of the old hose from the sewer.
6. The washing machine must be pulled out so that you have free access to the rear wall.
7. To gain access to the internal structure of the machine, unscrew the screws on the back wall of the machine.
8. Slide the top panel back so that it can be removed without effort.

How to remove and install a new one?

In Samsung washing machines, the drain hose is attached to a pump located inside the machine. To remove it, you must first partially disassemble the machine..

All actions must be performed without the use of force. Having found the place where the hose is attached to the pump, it is better to photograph it. This will help in the future to correctly mount the new part.

Procedure:

• if access is convenient from the rear panel, then unscrew the screws and remove the back wall;
• if access is more convenient from the bottom, then remove the bottom panel (if there is one);
• For ease of use, the washing machine can be carefully placed on its side, with a rag underneath so as not to scratch the body;
• Loosen the clamp at the hose entry point so that it can be removed;
• get out the old hose;
• install a new one in the same place;
• fasten the clamp, checking the photograph taken earlier;
• reassemble the washing machine in the reverse order, installing and securing all panels, as well as the hose itself on the machine body;
• Connect the free end of the hose to the sewer.

After completion of work, a test wash should be carried out.

Possible problems and ways to solve them

Expert advice will help you effectively deal with the problem:

1. A leak is not always a sign of a broken hose. It is necessary to carefully inspect the entire length of the hose to try to find the location of the break. Leakage can also be caused by wear of other parts.
2. Ignoring even a small leak can lead to big problems, including flooding downstairs neighbors, damage to the floor, and serious damage to the washing machine itself.

   If there is a leak, the problem will only get worse, so it needs to be addressed immediately.

3. Lack of skills in repairing equipment is a reason to seek help from a specialist. Inept actions can cause harm.
4. When bringing the washing machine indoors from the cold, you need to wait for several hours. Since the remaining water that was in the car and turned into ice can cause serious damage.
5. If the length of the factory hose is not enough, it is recommended not to extend it, but to replace it with a new one of the required size. The connection point will not have the required reliability.

You should not leave a running washing machine unattended, as an emergency situation may arise, such as a leak.

Calling a master: what do you need to know?

To replace the drain hose you can call a technician from a company that repairs household appliances. It is not difficult to find such a company on the Internet; it is also recommended to read customer reviews.

When placing an order by phone, you need to specify the problem, then the technician can come directly with a new hose and carry out the replacement very quickly. If a new hose is already available, it is worth mentioning this when calling a specialist.

The cost of the work does not include the price of the main part and consumables, if necessary: ​​tips, sealant, etc. In regions, prices may be lower than in the capital.

In a major city:

• hose repair will cost from 1,200 rubles;
• complete replacement work will cost from 1,400 rubles plus the price of a new hose.

The exact cost is determined in each specific case. Upon completion of the work, a company employee tests the operation of the washing machine and issues a guarantee. When replacing a hose, the warranty can be up to two years.

Repairing an old hose makes sense only in the following cases:

For washing machines that are under warranty, you should call a technician from the service center, since even partial disassembly of the device violates the integrity of the seals.
