Tom ApplianceEducator.com the drain hose is all one piece, not like most homes where the hose is hung on a stack. should i seperate the the hose and hang it on a stack. is the problem because it's all one piece?

Tom ApplianceEducator.com the hose has always been at 4-2". what i am wondering is because the hose is all one piece from the washer to the floor drain is that why it's causing the washer to siphon. what if i was to mount a stack and use a regular style washer hose with a hook end.
