A clogged washer drain hose can cause significant problems, including water damage, mold growth, and even fire hazards. If you notice your washing machine is not draining properly, it's essential to investigate the issue promptly. A clogged drain hose is often the culprit, and cleaning it can resolve the problem.

There are several reasons why your washer drain hose might become clogged:

• Lint and debris buildup
• Kinking or bending of the hose
• Blockages in the drain pipe
• Poor installation or maintenance

To clean your washer drain hose, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the hose: Unplug your washing machine and disconnect the drain hose from the back of the machine.
2. Check for kinks: Inspect the hose for any kinks or bends that might be causing the clog.
3. Use a plumbing snake: Feed a plumbing snake into the hose to clear any blockages.
4. Soak the hose: Soak the hose in hot water and detergent to loosen any debris.
5. Reconnect the hose: Once clean, reconnect the hose to the washing machine and ensure it's securely attached.

To prevent clogs in your washer drain hose, consider the following:

• Regularly clean the lint filter
• Check the hose for kinks or bends
• Run a cleaning cycle on your washing machine
• Consider installing a drain hose cleaning tool
