Genuine Whirlpool OEM dishwasher drain hose connecting the dishwasher pump to the sink or garbage-disposal drain connection.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Visible cracking, splitting, or leakage from the drain hose
• Water remaining in the dishwasher after a drain cycle when the hose is kinked or obstructed
• Leakage at the hose connection to the pump, sink drain, waste tee, or garbage disposal
• Drainage problems caused by incorrect hose routing or a low loop that permits siphoning

Check Before Replacing

• With power disconnected, visually inspect the entire hose for cracks, splits, kinks, crushing, or loose connections.
• Check both hose ends for water staining or active leakage after a cycle, without removing the hose while the appliance is energized.
• Verify that the hose is routed without sharp bends and is secured in a high loop beneath the counter where the installation configuration requires one.
• If connected to a garbage disposal, confirm that the disposal inlet knockout has been removed and that the hose connection is not obstructed.
• Check for a blockage at the hose ends and accessible drain connection points; do not probe deeply or use sharp objects that could damage the hose.
