“Our washer drains via hose into an adjacent laundry sink. Because of the height of this unit, we would need to run the drain hose approximately 5-7 feet from the washer to the sink. Is that workable with this unit?”

Hi there! Thank you for your question regarding the WKEX300HBA washer and its drain hose setup. Running the drain hose approximately 5-7 feet from the washer to the sink is generally workable for this unit, but there are some important considerations to ensure proper drainage. First, make sure the hose height is not too high; it should not exceed 96 inches from the floor to the top of the standpipe to avoid siphoning issues. Additionally, ensure that the hose is positioned properly in the laundry sink, avoiding any kinks or bends that could impede water flow. It's also important to use the correct diameter drain hose (typically 1 inch) for efficient drainage, and ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks—consider using a hose clamp if needed. If you follow these guidelines, your washer should drain effectively into the adjacent sink. If you have any further questions or need assistance with your setup, please feel free to reach out via private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. We’re here to help! —Avril
