How much does it cost to replace a washer drain hose?

Often $0 — re-setting the hose or standpipe height is the most common fix. A replacement hose assembly runs $22–80 for LG and GE kits (eBay listings, checked 2026–11–03). DIY difficulty 1/5, allow 30–45 minutes.

Yes — hoses are cheap. But a washer that won’t drain isn’t always a hose problem: check the pump filter first, then the hose path, then the pump itself.

Washer Drain Hose: Clog, Siphon, or Replace — Cost & DIY

It’s usually a free or near-free fix. Re-setting the standpipe height or clearing a kink costs nothing — order a new hose assembly only for genuine damage (cracks, collapsed sections, wrong length).

⚠️ Siphon setup is the repeat-offender. The drain standpipe must meet the height your machine's manual specifies — a hose seated too low siphons the tub during the wash and throws drain faults (the LG "OE" class of codes shows up this way).
