how to check a leaking dishwasher drain hose
stop the dishwasher and report where and when water was already seen. do not run another cycle to locate an active leak or pull out the connected appliance.
the linked 00668114-style supply is one grey 230 cm outlet hose with straight ends about 21 mm and 29 mm across. it is not an inlet or water-safety hose.

steps
- stop the dishwasher
stop using it and turn off the accessible water supply. disconnect power only from a safe, dry position. do not run another cycle to find the leak or pull the appliance out.
- describe what you saw
from a dry, safe position, note any already-visible damage or kink in the hose. tell the repairer whether water appeared while draining.
- arrange hose fitting
have the repairer locate the leak and check product compatibility, both old hose ends and the required route. if the outlet hose is damaged, they should fit the right hose without kinks, following the model's service instructions.
- have draining checked
the repairer should check both connections and confirm that water drains without leaking before normal use. stop if water reappears.
