Setup and Installation

1. Preparation: Ensure your washing machine is turned off and disconnected from the power supply before beginning installation.
2. Remove Old Hose: Carefully detach the old drain hose from both the washing machine outlet and the drain pipe. Be prepared for residual water.
3. Attach to Washing Machine: Connect one end of the new LG AEM74092902 drain hose to the washing machine's drain outlet. Secure it firmly using the provided metallic clamp. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
4. Position the Elbow: Attach the resistant plastic elbow to the other end of the drain hose. This elbow is designed to fit into your drain pipe or laundry tub.

5. Secure the Hose: Utilize the integrated plastic hook on the elbow to securely hang the drain hose in the drain pipe or over the edge of a laundry tub. This prevents the hose from dislodging during the wash cycle and causing spills.

6. Check for Leaks: After installation, run a short wash cycle without laundry to check for any leaks at the connections.

Operating Instructions

The drain hose operates automatically as part of your washing machine's drainage cycle. Ensure the hose is always positioned correctly and securely in the drain outlet to allow for proper water discharge. Avoid kinking or obstructing the hose, as this can impede drainage and potentially damage your washing machine.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the drain hose for any signs of wear, cracks, kinks, or blockages.
• Cleaning: If you notice slow drainage or suspect a blockage, disconnect the hose and flush it with warm water to remove any lint or debris buildup.
• Secure Connections: Ensure the metallic clamp and all connections remain tight to prevent leaks.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the hose, as this can degrade the plastic material.

Troubleshooting

• Leaking at Connections:
  • Ensure the metallic clamp is tightened securely.
  • Check that the hose is properly seated on the washing machine outlet and the drain pipe.
  • Inspect the hose for any damage or cracks that might be causing the leak.
• Slow or No Drainage:
  • Check for kinks or bends in the hose that might be obstructing water flow.
  • Inspect the hose for blockages from lint or debris. Disconnect and clean if necessary.
  • Ensure the drain pipe or laundry tub is not clogged.
• Hose Dislodges from Drain:
  • Ensure the plastic hook is securely fastened to the drain pipe or laundry tub edge.
  • Verify the drain pipe height is appropriate for your washing machine model.
