The 12138000031261 is the OEM drain hose assembly for Midea top-load washing machines. This hose carries wastewater from the washer tub to your standpipe or laundry sink during the drain and spin cycles. A cracked, kinked, or deteriorated drain hose is one of the most common causes of washer leaks and incomplete drain cycles. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores a watertight seal and reliable drainage.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does “up drain hose” mean?
An up drain hose is designed to route water upward to a standpipe or laundry tub. The “up” designation refers to the hose routing direction and fitting orientation specific to this model family.
