It’s not a bad idea to leave the bucket or plastic container under there, just in case you have a leak when you run the machine (if you haven’t connected it tightly enough). Step 8: Reconnect the drain hose under the sink, and clamp/clip back into place. Step 7: Close and re-screw the bottom access panel (base plate) back into place. As if the thought of a potentially expensive repair isnt bad enough, there are all those dirty dishes. Anybody have any ideas how I could fit a regular size dishwasher in this hole by changing the double sink or something else. A puddle under the dishwasher is doubly distressing. It is a under the sink model which are pretty expensive and only 1 manufacturer. Step 6: Fit the hose and pump back tidily into the base. My house was built in the early 60s and the dishwasher needs replacement.

Step 5: Fit the new dishwasher drain hose in place, and either re-clip with the existing clip or with a replacement clip. Step 4: Unclip the drain pump from the drain hose using pliers to remove it. Remove the bottom access panel (base plate) from the dishwasher with your screwdriver. Step 3: The dishwasher drain hose is located at the bottom of the dishwasher, connected to the drain pump. Put your bucket or plastic container under the connection point, to catch any dirty water still in the hose. It’ll be clamped or clipped, so loosen this either with your screwdriver or pliers, depending on whether it’s a clamp or a clip. Step 2: Disconnect the drain hose under your sink. Step 1: Turn your dishwasher power off at the wall – unplug it completely if you can, to be safe.
