Water leaks from the side of the disposal where the dishwasher drain hose connects.

Safety First: Turn OFF power at the breaker and do not run the dishwasher until the leak is resolved.

• Step 1 – Inspect hose and clamp: Tighten the hose clamp at the dishwasher inlet nipple. If the hose is brittle or cracked, cut back to fresh material or replace the hose.
• Step 2 – Check inlet nipple: Examine the plastic or metal inlet nipple on the Electrolux disposal for cracks or deformation. Any damage here usually requires disposal replacement.
• Step 3 – Verify knockout removal: Ensure the knockout plug was removed fully and no partial plug is preventing a tight seal.
• Step 4 – Test for leaks: Run the dishwasher through a short drain cycle while observing the connection. Tighten or reposition the hose as needed.
