Frigidaire Dishwasher FFBD2408NB5B Will not drain or doesn't drain

The Dishwasher Drain Hose is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It is crucial for safely channeling waste water from the dishwasher into the drain system, preventing backups and leaks. This flexible hose is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use, including exposure to hot water and detergents, ensuring a reliable path for effluent without risk of damage under normal operating conditions.

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Drain Hose include:

• Water pooling around the dishwasher,
• Signs of leakage at the connection points,
• A musty smell indicating standing water in the hose.

Causes of drain hose failure often involve cracks or punctures, which can occur with age or if the hose is improperly installed or subjected to external pressure.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This flapper valve is the dishwasher's one-way drain check. It directs wastewater out and helps prevent backflow into the tub, promoting complete draining and reducing standing water, odors, and water returning after the drain cycle.

• Maintains one-way water flow from the sump/pump to the drain hose
• Helps prevent backflow from the sink or air gap into the dishwasher tub
• Wear, warping, or sticking can lead to slow draining or water left in the tub
• May also present as water backing into the tub after a cycle or intermittent drain faults

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the valve at the drain outlet/pump area; note hose and clamp orientation
• Match the original valve orientation; the flapper should open toward the drain hose (direction of flow)
• After reassembly, run a short fill-and-drain test and inspect for leaks and proper draining
