Tools Required
- Pliers or nut driver (for hose clamps)
- Bucket or towels (to catch residual water)
- Screwdriver (if appliance access panels need removal)
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Dishwasher: Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source and turn off the water supply. Pull the dishwasher out from its cabinet enclosure to access the rear connections.
- Locate the Old Drain Hose: Identify the existing drain hose connected to the dishwasher's drain pump and the household drain (e.g., garbage disposal or sink drain pipe).
- Remove the Old Hose: Place a bucket or towels underneath the connections to catch any residual water. Use pliers or a nut driver to loosen and remove the clamps securing the old drain hose. Carefully detach the hose from both the dishwasher and the household drain. Retain the old clamps as new ones are typically not included with the replacement hose.
- Install the New Drain Hose: Attach one end of the new Samsung DD67-00059A drain hose to the dishwasher's drain pump outlet. Secure it firmly with the original clamp.
- Connect to Household Drain: Route the other end of the new hose to your household drain connection (garbage disposal or sink drain pipe). Ensure the hose forms a high loop (if required by local codes or manufacturer instructions) to prevent backflow. Secure this end with the remaining clamp.
- Inspect Connections: Double-check all connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Test for Leaks: Push the dishwasher back into its enclosure. Restore the water supply and power. Run a short wash cycle and carefully inspect all hose connections for any signs of leaks.

Operation
Once correctly installed, the Samsung Dishwasher Drain Hose operates automatically as an integral part of your dishwasher's wash and drain cycles. No manual intervention is required during operation. Ensure the hose remains free of kinks or obstructions to allow for proper water drainage.
Maintenance
Regular inspection and simple maintenance can extend the life of your drain hose and prevent issues:
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check the entire length of the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Pay close attention to the connection points.
- Check for Kinks: Ensure the hose is not kinked or pinched, which can restrict water flow and cause drainage problems.
- Clean Connections: If you notice any buildup around the connection points, gently clean them to ensure a tight seal.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners near or on the drain hose, as they can degrade the material.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues related to your dishwasher's drainage, consider the following:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking from hose connections | Loose clamps, damaged hose end, improper seal | Tighten clamps, inspect hose for damage, ensure proper seating of hose on fittings. Replace hose if damaged. |
| Dishwasher not draining completely | Kinked or pinched hose, clogged hose, clogged air gap (if applicable), issue with drain pump | Inspect hose for kinks and straighten. Disconnect hose and check for blockages. Clean air gap. If problem persists, consult a technician for drain pump inspection. |
