“Cutting the drain hose to get the dryer to work We're about to buy this machine. I've read that drain hose needs to go to a floor drain or low placed drain pipe for the dryer to function. Our drain pipe is a few inches lower than the machine (couldn't get our plumber to place it lower due to code, and we couldn't install a floor drain). If we cut the drain hose so that it's just going downward directly into the drain (adding an adapter for the drain pipe connection), will this solve the issue? Or do we need to raise the machine via a pedestal or whatever means we have to raise it?”

Huh, I have not read about that problem and actually my drain hose exits the machine and goes up into the drain pipe opening, which is an inch or so higher than the top of the machine. After year of use, no issues, no problems, drainage or otherwise. The drainage exhaust pump is strong and gets all of the fluid out regardless of whether it is the washing or condensate drying cycle. This has been a fantastic machine to own and operate.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'll be much better off getting the matching pedestal. Draining will work properly plus you gain the storage space and reduce bending over to load and unload the machine.
