Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Drain hose slips out of the standpipe or laundry tub during draining.
• Visible cracking, breakage, or deformation of the U-bend retainer.
• Drain hose is kinked or not held in the intended U-bend shape.
• Water leakage or drainage problems associated with an unsecured or improperly routed drain hose.

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before inspection.
• Visually inspect the retainer for cracks, breaks, deformation, or missing sections.
• Check that the drain hose is seated securely in the retainer and remains in a stable U-bend shape.
• Verify that the hose is not sharply kinked, forced into the standpipe, or sealed tightly into the standpipe.
• Run no diagnostic cycle until the hose is safely routed and secured; drainage or pump problems may have causes unrelated to this retainer.
