The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. This part ensures that water flows smoothly and consistently out of the dishwasher after each wash and rinse cycle, preventing backflow, leaks, and potential water damage. 

Causes of a bad Drain Hose can range from physical damage, such as cracks or punctures that occur over time or through misuse, to clogs formed by food particles or grease that restrict water flow.  

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Drain Hose include:

• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher, leading to standing water after cycles
• Leaks detected around the dishwasher, which may indicate cracks or holes in the hose
• Kinking or blockage within the hose that impedes water flow

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

• Helps the ice maker and dispenser fill correctly by allowing water in but not back out
• Common symptom: intermittent or incomplete ice maker fills
• Common symptom: slow or continuous dripping from dispenser or valve area

• Shut off water supply and unplug the appliance before starting
