Description
Extend the reach of your washing machine's drain line with the GE WH49X301 Drain Hose Extension Kit. This OEM accessory is essential when the standard 70-inch drain hose is too short to connect to the standpipe or air gap, providing extra length for proper discharge. The kit contains the necessary corrugated extension hose, along with "hose inserts and clamps" to securely join the new hose section to the original drain hose.
Features & Benefits:
- Extended Reach: Provides an additional length (approximately 70 inches) to accommodate remote drain connections.
- Complete Connection: Includes hose inserts and clamps to ensure a tight, leak-proof joint between hose sections.
- OEM Compatibility: Designed for use with various GE and Hotpoint top-load washers.
- Easy Installation: The repair is simple, typically requiring only basic hand tools like pliers or screwdrivers.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- The washer will not drain because the hose cannot reach the standpipe, causing the cycle to stall.
- A leak occurring at the connection point between the original drain hose and an extension.
