I believe that it is 6 ft, and to replace it with a longer one you must remove the back of the washer, or add a connector extension. We needed to add just about 6 inches more to reach up to the drain pipe so I just bought an aluminum crook/goose neck for $6 from Lowe's and secured it with a stainless hose clamp. It worked perfectly, The Best Buy "installation team" couldn't figure that out.
