A clogged drain hose is a messy problem, but it is usually a DIY-friendly fix. By physically cleaning the hose and maintaining good habits, you can extend the life of your dishwasher and ensure your dishes come out sparkling every time.
Turn off the power to the dishwasher. The easiest way to do this is to unplug it from under the sink or flip the breaker switch.
Modern dishwashers discharge wastewater through a corrugated drain hose, typically ½ to ¾ inch in diameter, connecting the dishwasher’s drain pump to the sink drain or garbage disposal. Because the hose is ribbed, it traps debris efficiently. A 2022 survey of appliance repair technicians found that were resolved simply by cleaning or replacing the drain hose—not by replacing the pump or control board.
