GE WH41X20839 Washer Tub Drain Hose, Replaces WH41X10096, WH041X10096

The GE WH41X20839 Washer Tub Drain Hose is the factory replacement drain hose designed to carry water from the wash tub to the pump and drain outlet. It replaces WH41X10096, WH041X10096 when fitment is confirmed by the appliance model number.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar hoses may use different diameters, lengths, hose clamp positions, or connector fittings that affect fitment.

Common Symptoms

• Washer not draining or draining very slowly
• Water remaining in the tub after the spin cycle
• Visible cracks, kinks, or splits in the existing drain hose
• Water leaking from the bottom or rear of the washing machine

Check Before Replacing

• Inspect the existing hose for kinks, clogs, or blockages — a simple obstruction may resolve the issue
• Verify the drain pump runs during the drain cycle; a failed pump can mimic a clogged hose
• Check the standpipe or laundry tub drain for blockages upstream of the hose
• Confirm the lid switch or door latch is functioning — the washer won't drain if the switch fails

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect power to the washing machine before beginning any work.
2. Shut off the water supply valves and place towels or a shallow pan to catch residual water.
3. Photograph the existing hose routing, clamp positions, and connection points before removal.
4. Compare the new hose to the original — verify length, diameter, and connector style match.
5. Inspect the drain pump inlet and the tub outlet port for cracks or debris before installing the new hose.
6. Secure all clamps firmly and run a test cycle, checking for leaks at both ends.

Use a qualified appliance technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience.
