Kenmore Top Load Washer Leak Repair – Drain Hose Replacement in the East Valley

Posted on September 24th, 2025

A local customer reached out when their Whirlpool/Kenmore top-load washer began leaking during the drain cycle. The water wasn’t flooding the home, but it was noticeable on their outdoor patio area and running off each time the washer emptied.

The Problem: Washer Leaking While Draining

The customer explained:

“It doesn’t leak the whole tub of water, but every time it drains, water runs out onto the patio.”

This type of issue often points to a failing or cracked drain hose.

The Diagnosis and Repair

Our technician asked the homeowner to start a load so the leak could be seen during the visit. Once on site, it was clear the drain hose had worn out and needed replacement.

The repair was straightforward: the old hose was removed and replaced with a new one, eliminating the leak immediately.

✅ Same-day diagnosis and repair
✅ This repair was completed for under $175 for the homeowner
✅ Washer restored and operating correctly

Why Drain Hoses Fail

Drain hoses can fail over time due to:

• Cracks from age or wear
• Exposure to vibration during spin cycles
• Kinks or poor installation that weaken the hose

Replacing the hose restores proper drainage and prevents water from leaking during cycles.
