Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Needed
-

-
You see water remaining in the tub or backing up due to drainage issues.
-
The existing drain hose is cracked, warped, discolored, bent severely or otherwise visually degraded.
-
The hose is too short for current installation causing strain or poor routing.

Compatibility Notes
-
Designed for Whirlpool and Kenmore washers that list 285666 in the drain hose parts list or in the installation instructions. whirlpool.com+1
-
Always verify your washer’s model number and serial number, and inspect the current drain hose’s connection style and length to ensure proper fit.
-
Ensure that the drain hose clamps and routing path behind the washer are properly installed and free of kinks — simply replacing the hose may not resolve issues if the hose was previously mis-routed or blocked.
-
If the washer’s drain pump, fittings or tub outlet are damaged, replacing the hose alone may not fully restore correct operation. A technician inspection might be required.
