Many LG front-load washers have this vent port on the back that allows the tub to breathe as it fills with water. Inside the machine, there is a poppit valve to prevent foam and water from making their way out if you fill the machine up with too much soap, for instance, but after a while, that doesn't seem to work anymore, even after replacing the valve or greasing it. Water still occasionally drips out the back of the machine. Many people online have adapted a drain hose to this port with a piece of PVC pipe to allow any overflow to drain into the sink if it ever happens, but the PVC pipe hack isn't great because nothing is rigidly mounted, and things start to squeak. So I made this bolt-on adapter that replaces the plastic cover and bolts on with #8-32 or M4 screws and nuts.
I used this drain hose from amazon: https://a.co/d/0i9FMwEo
