Washing Machine - Drain hose routing

[MidsTW]

I just replaced the washer that was installed when we purchased our home.
Our previous washer had the drain hose exit at the top of the unit (although it did route upwards inside the washer).
Our new washer has the drain hose exiting at the bottom of the unit. There was a plastic clip holding the hose in placed at a height ~65mm from the floor but I removed that…. Mainly as I am routing this via the existing route: along 1m of floor and then up into the undersink space to terminate into one of the waste pipes.

The instructions just mention that for this type of drainage the termination mist be min 65cm and max 100cm - which it is under the sink.

Should I expect any problems with the installation as described?

No.pump works well and I have installed hose extension on washing machines with no problems

Drain hose really needs to rise up as close to the machine as possible, then drop to the discharge point. Routing it as you describe will result in the hose staying full of dirty water, which has the potential to make your machine rather unsanitary.

It must be installed, so it rises from the back of the washer a minimum of 65cm. That is so that it can retain the water during the wash, and to prevent water from other sources (your sink), being syphoned back into the washer. The maximum limit of 100cms, is so it can effectively pump the water out, after a wash, or a rinse cycle.

Sometimes you don't have many options and can't fit things as they ideally should be. Should be fine as proposed.
