This hose carries wastewater from the washer to your house drain during the drain phase of every cycle, connecting to the washer's outlet spout on one end and to your standpipe or utility sink on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 6' black flexible hose features an elbow bracket and a grey 90-degree coupler end with a 1\" inner diameter, and includes a metal clamp. The manufacturer has updated the design of the rubber fitting that attaches to the back of the washer since earlier versions of this hose were produced — the new fitting looks slightly different but fits and functions the same way as the original. Over time, drain hoses can crack, split, or become brittle with age, or may simply be missing if replaced or damaged during a move. A failing or missing hose typically shows up as water leaking or pooling near the back of the washer during the drain cycle, or no hose present at all on a newly acquired unit. It directly replaces WPW10267638, W10267638, W11250143, W11044871, W11198580, W11234073, and W11050506.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eW11281268 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drain Hose\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana washers with a cracked, split, or missing drain hose, or water leaking near the back of the washer during the drain cycle. 6' black flexible hose, elbow bracket, 1\" ID grey 90-degree coupler, metal clamp included.

Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the washer, then the lower front access panel to access the drain hose connection. Place a towel down before disconnecting any hoses to catch any remaining water. Squeeze the clamp ring with pliers and remove the old hose from the outlet spout on the back of the washer, and disconnect the other end from your standpipe or drain connection. You'll need to transfer your existing hose clamps onto the new W11281268, since a new one isn't included. Fit the new hose over the outlet spout and squeeze the clamp back into place with pliers, then reconnect the other end to your house drain. Reinstall the lower front access panel and back panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the hose is secure with no leaks. Tools needed: pliers, work gloves, towel.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eIs this repair difficult?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eNo, it's a very straightforward repair.
