How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP6000109 / AEM69493807 Drain Hose Assembly

Finding the leak was the toughest part of the repair. When the dishwasher started leaking I went straight to the internet for possible problems. I exhaustingly checked all of the suggested sources of the leak to no avail. In the end it was the simplest answer possible. My LG dishwasher was leaking out of the drain hose. The reason it was so hard to find was because it was leaking right at the point where the drain hose exits the dishwasher. The drain hose had just worn through and had several small slits in the recesses of the hose. I ordered the parts on a Friday and they were on my doorstep when I got home from work on Monday. Replacing the entire drain hose assembly took less than 15 minutes and now the dishwasher is leak free and working great. The lesson I learned is, start with the easiest repair first. Don't automatically jump to the most difficult repairs which was what was suggested on most of the websites I visited. Not one website suggested the drain hose assembly as the culprit. 

I cut about 3/8 of an inch in length and sliced about 1/4 inch off placed it into the open end of hose which brought it down to 1/8 inch opening and placed it onto the nipple protruding from the top and secured with the clamp. It worked I believe this is a breather tube the black hose. 

I watched a you tube video and it was very simple . Job is done wife is happy. 

I called around tow and everyone wanted twice the price. I ordered the OEM part and it was delivered in the time it said . I could not be happier.

Reasonably easy fix to replace the drain hose on an LG dishwasher. Appliance Parts got the part pretty darn fast. Everything work good. Disappointed a bit in LG, because the new part had obviously been re-engineered to fix the problem mine had in the first place (5 year old DW), but glad Appliance Parts Pros had the parts and the parts diagrams. Really helpful. Plenty of videos online to get a sense of what's involved. Disconnect water, electrical and drain hose, turn dishwasher over (on side or upside down - watch for water coming out). Install new hose and the replace side cover, connections etc.
