Hello, Dawndy.
The drain hose for the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG Ventless Washer/Dryer Combo LG WashCombo™ All-in-One 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity with Inverter HeatPump™ Technology and Direct Drive Motor, Model # WM6998HBA, has to be installed in accordance with
any applicable local codes and regulations.
Local plumbing codes should be followed, as some areas prohibit connecting washing machines to kitchen sinks due to risks.
What is the diameter of your kitchen sink drain pipe? Is your sink large enough to support the washer's flow?
Technically, you cannot connect the washer drain to the sink drain because there is a constant risk of overflow. This means you should drain a washing machine’s wastewater directly to the sink, not to its drain system. If you choose to connect the washer drain to the sink drain system, it becomes challenging for the sink pipe to handle the washer's waste discharge rate, resulting in overflow.
The best practice is to avoid directly connecting the washer drain hose pipe to the sink drain pipe. Moreover, you have to consider the space in your sink...^Ivan.
