How to stop washing machine drainpipe leak?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on a plumbing issue in the laundry. I’ve recently had a new washing machine installed (LG10 KG Topload) and noticed a leak coming from the drain pipe. I’ve already fitted a plumbing clamp to try and fix it, but it still leaks slightly when the machine drains water.

 

Does anyone have tips on how to make sure the leak is fully sealed? Should I be using sealant, tape, or replacing a part? Any suggestions or product recommendations would be really appreciated!

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your suggestion, i've cut the suggested area off and re-attached the clamp. I'm running a cycle now so if there is still elakage, i'll go ahead and buy the thread seal tape.

 

Thanks!
