Water leaks from the dishwasher drain hose connection on the Whirlpool garbage disposal.

Safety first: Turn off power to the disposal and dishwasher.

• Check clamp: Tighten the hose clamp securing the dishwasher drain hose to the Whirlpool disposal inlet.
• Inspect hose and nipple: Look for cracks in the plastic inlet or splits in the hose. Replace the hose or disposal if the nipple is broken.
• Verify knockout removal: Ensure the knockout plug was fully removed and no fragments remain that could prevent a tight seal.
• Test for leaks: Run the dishwasher drain cycle or pour water into the dishwasher and observe the connection for drips.
