Before beginning, unplug the dishwasher from the electrical outlet and turn off the water supply.

Step 1: Locate the Drain Hose

The drain hose is typically located at the back of the dishwasher, near the bottom. It connects to the drain pump and runs to the garbage disposal or drainpipe.

Step 2: Disconnect the Water Supply

Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the water supply line connected to the dishwasher. Place a bucket underneath to catch any water that may leak out.

Step 3: Remove the Drain Hose Clamp

Locate the clamp securing the drain hose to the drain pump. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw and remove the clamp.

Step 4: Disconnect the Drain Hose from the Pump

Carefully pull the drain hose off the drain pump. Be prepared for a small amount of water to come out.

Step 5: Remove the Drain Hose from the Dishwasher

Disconnect the drain hose from the dishwasher by pulling it straight out.

Step 6: Install the New Drain Hose

Insert the new drain hose into the dishwasher and secure it to the drain pump using the clamp. Tighten the screw securely.

Step 7: Reconnect the Water Supply

Reattach the water supply line to the dishwasher and tighten it using an adjustable wrench.

Step 8: Test the Dishwasher

Plug the dishwasher back into the electrical outlet and turn on the water supply. Run a test cycle to ensure the drain hose is functioning properly.

Troubleshooting:

• If water leaks from the connection between the drain hose and drain pump, tighten the clamp further.
• If water leaks from the connection between the drain hose and dishwasher, replace the clamp.
