Replace dishwasher outpipe/hose

    Hi

    Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to do this please?
    It's the pipe (hose) that looks like a slinky toy.
    There's a hole on the pipe where it was bent and the water is leaking.
    Duct tape is not holding it.

    I can see the the end of pipe(hose) is inside the dishwasher.
    Do you need to remove the bottom panel to get at it?
    Or can you get some sort of insert for the pipe and replace the bit with the hole.

    It's a Beko dishwasher and just out of warranty.

    The "in" water pipe had two cracks on it and replaced it.

    Any advice appreciated.

    There is probably a spring clip holding it onto the water pump. If you hold this with a pliers it will come off and you can remove the tube.

    You might get away with reversing the tube around if the split is near the pump, or get an old hose from a recycling center / WEEE drop off point etc...

    Thanks for your reply Dublin Dilbert.
    The split is right in the middle of the hose.
    so looks like I need a whole new hose.

    that's a strange place, I would try and Tek7 on a patch and tape over that, should keep you going for now. If you can put a sleeve over it even better and some TEK7.

    Get a new drain hose.If you cut your hose where it is split,it may fit into the new drain hose so you may not need to take off the original hose.

    It's on the bend of the hose.
    It looks to me that the wrong plastic was used to make the hose and the hose isn't flexible enough to withstand the bend.

    I might try that first before I take the back off the dishwasher, thanks.

    I repair dishwashers regularly in the commercial end of things, id often use a latex glove and insulating tape if stuck temporarily on the drain hose. Will do the job fine while waiting on replacement hose
