DIY Dunce - Dishwasher Waste pipe with leak

[johnagall]

I'm so bad at DIY but unfortunately I can't justify the money spend on installing the new dishwasher (£90)

Anyway Installation itself has been ok but it seems that I may have been forceful in trying to get the wastepipe into place as I now have a tiny hole that is leaking water about 20" from where the wate pipe goes into the waste under the sink.

Do I have to replace the whole pipe? - ie Get the integrated dishwasher unplugged from water supply, lower its legs and remove from space, replace hose

Or is there some way I can patch the tiny hole? It's a Beko DW600 integrated

Here's a picture of where the waste pipe feeds from the dishwasher Click to enlarge:

Yes you have to replace the hose , the hose is ribbed so I dont think trying to glue or stick anything on it will stick.

Hello again rocks.

Thanks for your response after helping last time.

Any idea how I do it?

My old dishwasher is the exact same model and is waiting in my garden to be taken to the dump so I can practice on that one first!

You should be able to remove the base which is poss 6 screws then the hose is clipped on the drain pump , have a practice on the old one then you know what to do.

Uh Oh!!!!

Unfortunately no screws. Just some funny looking clip that I have already managed to damage on my test machine:

Fernox LX which is a silicon sealant designed to fix leaks in pipes could help. Its can be used on hot and cold water systems.

Smells a bit till cured and is a pain to get off fingers but we use it on small holes in tubs, poor seals etc.

That is a clip to stop the pipe rubbing on the bare metal , there must be screws on the base or side cos you ain't gonna get that pipe out that small hole and replace it unless your a mouse , can u post a pic of the base and side. any screws on the lip of the base ?

At the back its not as straight forward: I wouldn't want to be messing around as it's absolutely brand new.

Just below the inlet valve at the back is a screw that is to the base there should be another 1 or 2 along the edge then the base falls off , if it's brand new why don't you claim under gtee repair or did you hole it. If you did deny it saves you doing it.

You think I should get them to send a new one?

Try it you ain't got nothing to lose , at least if they don't take the old one you got shed loads of spares.
