Product review (1 stars): Hose cracked after 7 months of use & we had a huge leak
We purchased this LG Washer Drain hose to replace the original one which came with our washer, and which developed a leak after about 2 /12 years...which is way too soon. We figured this was a fluke occurrence because the drain hose had developed a crack right across one of the ribbed grooves in the gray plastic tubing about half way between where the hose exited the washing machine and the end of the hose where water drains out.

So we bought this replacement hose from QuickShipParts via Amazon on March 8th, 2012 and unbelievably on December 24th, 2012 (less than 10 months after purchasing this product), we got a call from a neighbor in our condo building who said he could feel water under his floor boards and asked us if we were doing any laundry. We were so we ran into our laundry room, turned off the washing machine, pulled it away from the wall and what did we find???? ANOTHER crack going all the way through the drain hose which was leaking water into our neighbor's apartment who now has more than $30K in water damage to his floors. The floors in our building a not perfectly even; so the water accumulated in our neighbor's apartment before we could see any noticeable amounts of water in our laundry room. How can a drain hose develop such a major crack when it's less than 10 months old it's not bent at an awkward angle and it's stationary, simply draining water from our machine when we do laundry....typically once a week??

Be careful my friends...if you purchase this hose keep a very close eye one it...a defective version of this $25 drain hose has caused over $25K in water damage in less than 1 hour. We're going to have to get a replacement part and hope it's not defective because it's the only model drain hose which will work on our washer which is still in fantastic condition...but we will also be getting some water alarms to detect the first sign of water on our laundry room floor should our next replacement hose crack open after less than 1 year of use. Very frustrated; very disappointed in the quality of this product!
