I got a LG Front Load Washing Machine (WD12021D6) and its drain hose is broken along the line please see the image.

I am wondering if there is something I can use to seal this broken hose than buying complete new hose?
Any specific product recommendation?
Replacement of hose looks like little expensive and complicated

Cutting hose is good option but unfortunately it will then spill water everywhere…as the vanity in laundry will be bit away from that end
Any further thoughts please?
You will likely want to remove the hose and then cut and join it.
Cut the hose at the split then use a joiner to join the two pieces of hose together.
Something like this - comes in different sizes.

interesting, but will it fully take that gap off?
or should I use some sort of sealant? Anything you can think of?
The clamps should do the trick.
blutac (silicone would be better) and wrapped over with duct tape
it's not under any great pressure
.
If it has split once, it is likely to do it again.
If you do use a joiner cut it back to a straight section and join on a new bit.
Keep a look out on the side of the road for old washing machines and take a hose from there.
You can get generic ones from ebay for $10 to $20, but would take a few weeks to arrive.
Just use duct tape wrap around it and it should last another year or two
Appliance technician here, just replace it with a genuine hose. It will only split again, maybe when you’re not home too. You’ll spend probably more time fussing around with joiners and a Bunnings hose. The Bunnings hose post above will cost you more then a genuine hose, plus the corrugated ribs can get in the way of the clamps. Yes a genuine hose will be a bit more fiddlier to replace but still the better option.
Avoid Big Warehouse Spares.
Genuine LG part number is 5214FR3188G.

Great thanks 👍
I am unable to find a drain hose replacement steps or document/video for my LG Front Load Washing Machine (WD12021D6)
Can you please help me to locate it? Preferably a video steps.

That video will pretty much be spot on. In my opinion I think taking the front panel off is more work IF the washing machine doesn't have a base. If you tip the machine back and the base is open then I would do it through there and through the rear panel. Front panel will probably give you more room but will take longer and more this to disassemble.
Replace the hose, or cut the hose at the split and use a joiner.
