Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Standing water remaining after a cycle
• Slow or incomplete draining
• Water leakage beneath or behind the dishwasher near the drain-hose connection
• Drainage problems caused by a kinked, crushed, blocked, or poorly secured hose

Check Before Replacing

• With power disconnected and the dishwasher accessible, visually inspect the hose for kinks, crushing, cuts, abrasion, or wetness at the connections.
• Check that the hose is routed without sharp bends and is secured in a high loop or connected through an appropriate air-gap arrangement as specified by the installation instructions.
• Inspect the hose connection at the dishwasher drain port and at the waste tee or disposer for looseness or leakage; do not operate the appliance while hands are near exposed electrical components.
• If the dishwasher does not drain, check the accessible drain path and household drain connection for an obstruction before concluding that the hose is defective.
• If connected to a disposer, confirm that the disposer drain-port knockout was removed during installation, where applicable.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Key Features

• Genuine Whirlpool OEM drain hose
• Designed for specified Whirlpool undercounter dishwashers
• Used in the dishwasher pump-and-motor drain path
• Elbowed connection geometry intended to support the specified dishwasher routing
• Must be routed and secured to prevent kinking, siphoning, or leakage

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water supply before accessing or replacing the dishwasher drain hose.
• Follow the model-specific installation instructions and connect the hose to the dishwasher drain port, waste tee, or disposer using the specified connection method.
• Push the hose fully onto the applicable drain connection and position the clamp or securing hardware as directed by the installation instructions; do not improvise unsupported fasteners or sealants.
• Route the hose with the elbow facing underneath the dishwasher where specified, because outward-facing routing can create a kink in a tight cabinet installation.
• Maintain the required high loop or air-gap arrangement and keep the connection above the drain trap; verify that the hose is not pinched when the dishwasher is returned to the cabinet opening.
• After installation, inspect for leaks during a test drain cycle while keeping clear of exposed electrical parts.
