Last week I paid a plumber £100+ to install my new bocsh Classixx and do a few other jobs .
Yesterday, it stopped draining and after spending 2hrs messing around I worked out that what he had done is install a really long and unneccessary extension pipe. Not sure why he did this because the waste pipe can reach easily (even when it is pinned up so it is above the waste inlet). I suspect he did it because he didn't have the right connection.
Anyway the problem was that the long pipe was really looped up behind the dishwasher so the water couldn't drain. I have removed the extension pipe but Im having real problems finding the right thing to connect it to the new outlet which the plumber install:
As these pictures hopefully show, the waste pipe and the new outlet are the same size. Does anyone know what/where I can buy the right connector.
I have been to B&Q where they recommended getting one of these:
But annoyingly it was too big and they were out of smaller ones so I couldn't try them. I went to about 3 other DIY/Plumbing stores and couldn't find anything.
Thanks for helping out - Im really starting to pull my hair out with this thing
