How can I connect dishwasher waste pipe to sink waste pipe?

KSRwheels · Nov 28, 2014

Hello All,

I recently moved into our new home and when we put the dishwasher for the first time a gush of water appeared on the floor. I turned off the dishwasher and took a look under the sink to find the dishwashers waste pipe was loose on the floor.

I have some images but unfortunately since I'm a new users its not letting me post them up 🙁

So my questions are:

How can I connect the dishwasher waste to this setup? Its made more complicated because we have two sinks and I can't find the connector that would allow for two waste connectors to be attached (for the dishwasher and washing machine) and for the two sinks. I have no idea what this would be called or how it can be installed so if anyone can guide me that would be great!
Why wold they leave the pipe? Is it maybe broken off from an attachment behind the washing machine?? The washing machine is integrated so its a real pain pulling it out to check behind it. Is it possible that this pipe was connect to the washing machine waste pipe instead of it being connected directly to the sink?
I am new to this but willing to follow instructions 🙂

Thanks in advance,

Welcome along.
Type dishwasher hose in to the little white box in the top right corner of the screen and see if your answer appears in the list, a lot of guys are still working or driving home now.
