Most washing machines come with the drain hose already attached to the back.
Put the hose on the bracket before you attach it to the wall or other surface.
If drilling, you’ll need tools like a wall scanner to avoid electrical cables in the wall, a drill with the right bit, a screw and a wall plug.
Typically the hose’s highest point needs to be 65cm to 100cm above the floor.
Have a look for details in your user manual.
There are a few ways your drain hose can be connected: To the sink’s downpipe To an open-topped vertical pipe called a standpipe Hanging over a sink or basin.
For hanging the drain hose over a sink or basin, you need the U-shaped bracket that came with the hose.
Attach that to the wall or another surface, checking it won’t get shaken off by vibration.
Then make sure there’s a gap between the end of the hose and what it empties into.
Otherwise, the hose can pull dirty water back into the machine.
