簡単にわかる! How to Check Dishwasher Drain Hoseの進め方を順番に解説します。

Before you even touch a tool, just turn the dishwasher on. Let it run for five minutes, then hit cancel or pause. When you hear it start to drain, listen closely. You want a happy slurping sound, not a choking, gurgling noise. That gurgle is your hose crying for help.

Now, pop the door open. If you see a pool of water that refuses to leave, you’ve got a drainage problem. Don’t panic. It just means your hose is either blocked or it’s doing a yoga pose it shouldn’t be.

The Great Under-Sink Safari

Time to get low. Grab a flashlight and crawl under your sink. Yes, even if there’s a random bottle of cleaner you forgot about. You might find a forgotten sponge, too—we don’t judge. Look for a corrugated plastic tube connecting your dishwasher to the sink drain or garbage disposal.

This tube is the drain hose. It should run in a smooth curve, like a lazy river, not a knot. If it looks like it’s trying to tie itself in a bow, you’ve found your problem. Unkink it immediately. I once found mine pinched behind a jar of pickles. The pickles were innocent, but the hose was not.
