Drain Hose

Hi Jacques, Thank you for the question. This drain hose is 6 feet. Good luck with the repair!

HI Mel, thank you for your question. It sounds like your drain hose might simply be clogged or out of place. The water would certainly stink as it sounds like it is drain water from your last load or whatever comes from the sink itself. Check to see if your drain hose is clogged, if it is clogged the water you are getting back into your dishwasher is the drain water from your last load. What might be more likely is that your drain hose is out of place. There should be a curve in your hose line that goes above the bottom of your sink. Generally it is attached up as close to the counter as possible. You need to have a U shape in the hose that goes above the bottom of your sink there so that no water drained from your sink goes into the dishwasher through the drain hose. If you have no clogs and the drain line is properly placed, the only other thing I could think of is the drain pump is damaged and cannot force the dirtied water from the dishwasher down into the drain of your sink. You might have to look into replacing that part. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Jim, Thank you for the question. The end that attaches to the pump should be approx. 5/8 in. I.D. or 7/8 in. O.D. We hope this helps!

Hi Michael, Thank you for your inquiry. Some of the parts that you will need to check are the piston and nut assembly, the drain pump and motor, the check valve flapper, the belt, the timer and the drain hose. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Brian, thank you for your question. Shut off the water and power to the unit before beginning this repair. Accessing the drain hose involves unscrewing the dishwasher and pulling it out. Remove the clamp holding the hose in place to its connection under the sink, using a 5/16ths socket. Disconnect the fill line. Use a 1/4 inch nut driver to loosen the clamp at the other end of the drain hose. Keep a towel handy for any water still inside. Keep the clamps for use on your new drain hose. Reinstall all hoses and lines in reverse order. We hope this helps.

Hello Antonette, thank you for your question. There might be an issue with the drain pump/hose in the unit. If the dirty water is able to come back into the washer, it can leave a bad smell in the unit and the dishes wouldn't be getting as clean as they should be. I would check to see if there is water left at the bottom of the washer after the cycle has been completed. If there is, you should replace the drain pump and sump kit. When you say the water is coming out of the vent on the sink, do you mean the water is coming back up the sink drain, when the unit is draining? If you could provide a little more information and resubmit the question we can do some more research for you! Have a great day, look forward to hearing from you!
