Customer Questions and Answers for Coupler & Hose Assembly (Faucet Connection) by Whirlpool

This coupler and hose assembly connects your portable dishwasher to the sink faucet during operation. It supplies fresh water and returns drain water to the sink, helping stop leaks and restore reliable filling and draining.

• Provides a quick-connect link to a compatible faucet adapter for temporary hookup
• Carries incoming water to the dishwasher and routes drain water back to the sink
• Maintains a secure, leak-resistant seal during wash and drain cycles
• Replace if the coupler won't attach or stay on the faucet, hoses are cracked/kinked, or you see leaks and poor fill/drain performance

• Unplug the appliance and turn off water before service
• Verify the faucet adapter and O-rings are in good condition; hand-tighten only—do not overtighten with tools
• Route hoses to avoid kinks and sharp bends
• Open the faucet slowly and run a short test cycle; check all connections for leaks
