Samsung DD97-00137A Dishwasher Hose Drain Assembly OEM Part

Removed dishwasher, laid two large towels on tile floor, laid dishwasher front door down on tiles, removed white access door (two screws) on bottom to expose hose connection. Then on left side facing front of dishwasher I had to remove door return spring from frame, two more screws and a metal cover. Once this cover was removed it exposed a plastic clamp that I opened up, took the drain hose off the hook at the top of the tub. I then removed the one end of the hose that was attached to the sump with a metal clamp (channel locks work well for this step) and removed the attached end from the washer. There was a plastic clamp that holds the hose in the rear of the dishwasher that very easily snaps off. At that point the hose was completely removed. Install is the reverse, but watch that plastic clamp that holds both loops of the drain hose, it is a burger to get clamped back together.

There was a hole in the drain hose. We replaced it.

I ordered a drain hose replacement specifically for this Samsung dishwasher. It is about 12 feet long, so you can't go to the local hardware store and find a suitable replacement. It was fairly easy to install, but it is slightly different in construction from the original. The corrugations are different style, and the outer diameter is 0.040 larger than the original. This made it a challenge to use the original clamping brackets on the washer, so I used a zip tie instead.

Replaced hose and wrapped duct tape around hose to protect against wear from metal bracket. (Metal bracket is behind the insulation and very difficult to detect unless remove insulation on left side of machine.

Was remodeling kitchen and needed to remove dishwasher easy enough. Put in new laminate floor sealed it u[p under the dishwasher. and thought that was the end of it WELLLLLLL to put the drain hose through the base cabinet to attach to the drain I had to climb in the corner c cabinet (just so you know a 240 # man doesn't fit in a corner cabinet door) connect the drain . all connections made filled dishwasher with 3 days of dishes and all done, UNTIL the dreaded words from the wife "I see water coming from under the dishwasher." pull it back out find hole in drain hose look up part on Appliance pros day after thanksgiving. got new part Monday morning hooked everything back up.
