After my Kitchen Folded with water. I had to pull the dishwasher out of its cubby. I notice the Mice (rats) had chewed thru the drain hose,so had to replace the hose, I used this website (very reasonable price and fast delivery). Since the drain hose it not metal and one is not available. I wrapped the new hose in tin foil. Mice do no like metal. i also used foam expanding pest deterrent to fill any gaps in the exposed wall and lined the back of the wall with metal grating. so that should keep the mice away from the dishwasher. crossing fingers.
