question - had an Indesit 1400 WIXL 143 tht sounds more like a DC10 currently and are lucky we have a Zanussi Jetstream 1400 7KG in the garage to replace it.
thing is the waste pipes are different and the Zanussi is a lot shorter - need to extend the zanussii's waste so need some advice.
Do I cut the exsisting indesits pipe off and try and attach to the zanussi or is there a universal fitting I can get?
Hope you can help

Advice sought on extending Zanussi washing machine drain hose
- The problem
- The user was replacing an Indesit WIXL 143 with a Zanussi Jetstream 1400 7KG and found the Zanussi waste hose was shorter and the waste pipe arrangement differed. They wanted to know whether to cut and join the old Indesit hose or use a universal extension.
- Likely cause
- Not a fault with the appliance itself; the replacement washing machine's drain hose was too short for the existing waste setup.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to use a drain hose extension kit from a spares supplier rather than cutting and attaching the old hose.
- Checks to try
- Compared the waste pipe arrangement between the Indesit WIXL 143 and Zanussi Jetstream 1400 7KG
- Identified that the Zanussi drain hose was shorter than needed
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Drain hose extension kit
