Anyone know the purpose of the drain hose tie for the Washer & Dryer? (washing, better)

[FrankAce]

I have to a buy a new one to replace mine. Is this necessary? I'm wondering if I can continue to wash and dry clothes on the machine without it.


This is what it looks like below:

Water pressure can cause the hose to work its way out of the drain and empty the washer onto your floor.

I would use it, but it's your choice.

This happened to me once. Fortunately I was sitting about 10 feet away and caught it quickly. There was still a LOT of water to mop up.

Yep- keeps the “drain hose” in the drain pipe!

Mine has never had this… But it Seems easy to solve - you could use any string or zip tie

It is just a zip tie.

One should always keep a supply of different sized zip ties on hand, they are cheap.
