Measures to replace this unit on a Samsung machine have to be carried out in a number of situations. Suppose you purchased a unit, and the water drainage element was not long enough, you will have to replace it. The second reason for this may be wear and fractures formed during the operational period. Replacing such a hose is quite difficult, because it is attached directly to the pump and partially passes inside the body of the machine. Therefore, to perform this work, partial disassembly of the unit will be required. Today we’ll look at how to change the drain hose of a Samsung washing machine.
Types of drain hoses, distinctive features
The element for draining the liquid is represented by a light-colored propylene hose, equipped on both sides with rubber fittings, the diameter of which can range from eighteen to twenty-two millimeters. The main purpose is to pour the waste liquid into the sewer system during washing. Based on the length and purpose, there are three groups of drain hoses:
- simple - has a fixed length, from one to five meters. If necessary, the hoses are connected with a special extension and clamps to increase the length;
- telescopic - in a compressed state, the size is sixty centimeters; after the hose is given a working condition, its length increases to two meters. The main disadvantage of such an element is its susceptibility to clogging, significant vibration due to the corrugated structure;
- in the form of a coil - a product with notches applied to it, making it possible to set aside the desired size and shorten the module. If you use a long hose, clogging or stagnation may occur, which will further lead to damage to your Samsung machine. It is recommended to immediately shorten these hoses to optimal parameters.
It should be noted that different brands of machines differ in the different placement and method of fixing the drain system. But there are general steps for repairing the drain hose of a washing machine, which are recommended for execution regardless of the model of the machine - when starting to fix the breakdown, the liquid is drained from the washing machine, for which the bottom panel is removed and the filter of the drain system is unscrewed.
Preparing for work
Before replacing the hose of a Samsung washing machine, you should disassemble the device and disconnect the hose from the pump. To make replacement easier, you will have to dismantle the machine panel, proceeding in a certain sequence:
- screws are unscrewed on the back panel;
- the lid slides back;
- The panel that has come out of the grooves is removed and set aside.
Since different manufacturers have different access to drainage, further actions may also occur differently. But in our model, the base of the drain path is located at the back, and we will consider this option - how to replace the drain hose on a Samsung washing mashine.
So, we have removed the panel, further replacement steps will be as follows:
- we photograph the fastening of the clamp, so that later we can correctly install the new analogue;
- before removing the drain hose from the washing machine, loosen the clamp so that you can completely unfasten the part;
- We take out the old drain part slowly, install a new one in its place, fasten the clamp, as in the picture;
- we assemble the machine body in reverse order;
- We connect the free end of the drain element to the sewer drain, perform a test wash to check the results of the work for leaks. The hose replacement was completed successfully.
If the drain pump is broken
When operating a Samsung washing machine, you may encounter a problem when waste water does not drain from the unit. First of all, they begin to look for the problem in the hose itself, but it is likely that in addition to it, the pump will have to be replaced.
To do this kind of work, you don’t even have to dismantle the machine panel, because the pump in the Samsung model is changed from the bottom. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- the machine is disconnected from the electrical network, the water supply tap is turned off;
- a cloth is spread on the floor on which the washing machine is placed. It should be positioned so that the drain pump is on top;
- use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws and remove the pump;
- by pressing on the drain pump, we take it out;
- disconnect the wiring connected to the pump;
- pour the remaining liquid into a container prepared in advance, loosen the clamps, disconnect the drain part along with the pipe;
- mount the pump, proceeding in the reverse order, screw in the bolts. By the way, before installing a working pump, do not forget to clean the snail from the dirt accumulated inside it.
In principle, when replacing the pump, a new drainage part can be installed.
Replacement procedure on a top-loading unit
It is known that the Samsung company produces a large range of washing devices. Among them there are models that differ in the vertical option of placing things in the drum. But they, too, from time to time force us to change out-of-service parts. How to remove the drain hose on such a device?
As a rule, to fix the problem you have to remove the side cover of the Samsung machine. Unscrew the bolts located at the end of the unit. Having unscrewed all the fasteners, we move the panel to the rear wall, get to the place we need, and carefully stretch the clamp securing the drain element. After a few simple steps, the tube is easily disconnected and a working analogue is installed in its place. Subsequent installation work is carried out in reverse order.
What to do if water is constantly collecting?
If your Samsung machine continuously pumps water into the system, but the drain hose does not remove it, you need to look for the reason in the pressure switch; most likely, the inlet valve has failed. As a rule, this is preceded by certain reasons:
- the membrane weakens;
- the element completely loses its ability to work normally.
When the drain element is cleaned or replaced, but the malfunction is not eliminated, the device is diagnosed using special equipment.
Conclusion
If you want to extend the operating life of your Samsung machine for washing clothes, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for changing the main elements, which include the drain corrugation.
