Whirlpool Dishwasher Drain Hose (W11381654)

The Whirlpool Dishwasher Drain Hose carries used water from the dishwasher drain pump to the household drain connection. It provides a sealed path for wastewater so the unit can empty at the end of wash and rinse cycles without leaking. Common failures include cracks or pinholes from age and heat, loosening at the clamp or fitting, kinks that restrict flow, and damage from rubbing against the cabinet or floor. Buildup inside the hose can also reduce drainage and slow the drain cycle. Symptoms that may indicate this drain hose is the source of the problem include: - Water leaking under the dishwasher, especially during or right after draining - Dishwasher not draining fully or leaving standing water in the tub - Slow draining or repeated drain attempts at the end of a cycle - Gurgling sounds at the sink or drain during dishwasher draining - Visible kinks, soft spots, cracks, or wetness along the hose
