1. Disconnect the drain hose: Locate the drain hose behind your washing machine and disconnect it from the washing machine and the drain pipe. You may need to use a screwdriver or wrench to loosen any fittings.
2. Remove any blockages: Use a drain snake or plumbing auger to remove any blockages or debris from the drain hose.
3. Soak the drain hose: Submerge the drain hose in a bucket of hot water and let it soak for a few hours to loosen any stubborn debris.
4. Clean the drain hose: Use a pair of gloves to scrub the inside of the drain hose with a soft-bristled brush or a cleaning cloth.
5. Reconnect the drain hose: Once the drain hose is clean, reconnect it to the washing machine and the drain pipe. Make sure all fittings are secure.
