Function and Roleâ ofâ the Dishwasher⢠Drain⤠Hose in the Wastewater â¤and âAnti-Backflow System
The drain hose âŁserves âŁas âthe fluid âconduit that carries effluentâ from the dishwasher pump âto the house plumbing and plays a crucial role in preventing wastewater âbackflow into theâ appliance. The OEM⣠part â807117001 Frigidaire â˘Dishwasher â¤Drain Hose is âmanufactured to meet theâ hydraulic and connection requirements⢠of Frigidaire systems: it resists internal pressure pulsesâ from the drain pump, withstands âhot water and detergentsand is routed⢠to create either⤠a high loop or connect to an air gap to prevent siphoning. Some installations rely on the hose routing (high loop⢠or air gap) ârather âthan⣠an âŁin-line valve for anti-backflow protection; other hoses âand adapters may âinclude a one-way check feature, but you should confirm which method your model â˘uses beforeâ replacing â˘or âmodifying the line.
- Materialâ and construction: flexible âŁthermoplastic â˘or reinforced â¤rubber toâ resist kinking and chemical exposure.
- Connection compatibility: molded or barbed ends sizedâ to match dishwasher tailpiece and disposal/sink⣠inlet; usesâ hose clamps for â˘secure joints.
- Anti-backflowâ strategy: high loop or air gapâ routing; some assemblies âinclude check valves.
- Routing and âŁsupport: avoid⣠low sags,â tight bendsand âŁcontact withâ heat sources that â¤accelerate wear.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Material | Reinforced rubber or thermoplastic; chosen â˘for chemical andâ heat resistance |
| Inner âdiameter | Matches dishwasher tailpiece (verifyâ measurement before purchase) |
| Typical length | Factory length accommodates cabinet routing; longer runs can be trimmed or replaced |
| Anti-backflow method | High loop or air gap;⣠optional check valve on some aftermarket hoses |
Compatibility âdepends on hose â¤endâ geometry,â inner diameterand how the âŁdrain is terminated in the sink or garbage disposal:⣠verify that the âŁhose end⢠matches the appliance âspudâ or âŁpurchase an adapter rather than forcing a mismatched coupling. In practice, proper performance requires âsecure clamps at âeach joint, routing the hose above⤠the dishwasherâ pump outlet to form⢠a high loop or connecting to an âinstalledâ air gapand avoiding excess âlength âthat⢠creates standing-water â˘pockets where debris can â˘accumulate and âcause odors or âpartial blockages. After installation, run a⢠drainâ cycleâ and inspect joints and routing â˘for leaks,⢠flow restriction,â or signs â¤of collapse âŁunder suction; âreplace the hose ifâ it showsâ brittleness, â¤crackingor persistent kinking.
How â¤the â¤807117001 Frigidaire Dishwasher Drain Hose Integrates⤠with Pump, Air Gap⢠and disposal â- Flow Path âand Operational Mechanics
The 807117001 Frigidaire â˘Dishwasher Drain Hose connects directly to the dishwasher drain pump â¤outlet and provides the sealed path that⤠conveys wastewater toâ either an âŁin-sink air â¤gap or to a garbage disposal/household â¤drain using a⢠high-loopâ routing. During drain cycles⣠the pump âŁgenerates pulsating flow and modest positive pressure that overcomes the â˘hydrostatic headâ of theâ hose run; theâ hoseâ must be free of âkinks, secured with a clamp at each connectionand routed upward to the air gap or high loop to prevent backflow and siphoning. As this hose interfaces with the pump⤠housingâ and frequently enough⣠with a disposal inlet, the hose ID, end fittingsandâ flexibility are designedâ to â˘match frigidaire pumpâ outlets⣠and common sink/disposal⤠fittings for leak-free performance and⢠proper alignment when â˘the disposal knockout has been removed.
Operationally,⤠the⣠drain pump pushes⤠water into the hose while internal pump âcheck âfeatures and the vertical routing prevent reverse flow once the pump stops.â The âin-sink air gap provides an open-air âŁbreak thatâ vents potential backflow â˘to âthe sink â˘rather than the dishwasher; when an air gap is not present âŁa âŁproperly installed high loop serves⢠as the passive backflow mitigation. Common practical failure modes include partial blockage at the â¤disposal or air gap,â collapsedâ orâ pinchedâ hose sections âthat restrict⢠flowand â¤loose clamps that leak at âthe pump or disposal connections. â¤Technicians can verify correct integration âby confirming hose continuity from the pump to â˘the termination point, ensuringâ the â¤disposal knockout is⢠removed âif â˘usedand observing drain performance during a test cycle.
- Flow path and fastâ checks: âpump outlet â˘â drain hose (noâ kinks) â air gap or high loop â disposal/house drain; verify clamps,â knockout removaland â˘absence of obstructions.

Commonâ Failure Symptoms, Leak Patterns and Pressure-Related Diagnosticâ Indicators
The 807117001 Frigidaire Dishwasher Drainâ Hose functions as the pressured conduit from the dishwasher sump/pump assembly to the household drain âŁor garbage disposal and must match the pump outlet, clamp typeand routing used⢠by the appliance. âŁFailure modes are predominantly mechanical and â˘hydraulic: longitudinal âcracks,â punctures, crushed or âflattened sections, collapsed internal âlinersand failed âŁclamp connections change flow characteristics and allow leakage under âpump â¤dischargeâ pressure. Compatibility matters because an improperly sized âŁor routed hose can createâ backpressureâ or siphoning that alters pump â¤load, increases vibration,â andâ accelerates seam failures; technicians⣠should verify inner diameter, wall flexibility,⣠and the âŁhose routing against the âŁappliance model specifications before replacing the part.
- Slow drainage âor⤠standing water at âŁcycleâ end (flowâ restriction or⤠partial collapse)
- Intermittent or steadyâ dripping at clamp joints or along hose length (crack or loose clamp)
- Sprayâ or suddenâ bursts of âwater during pump discharge (puncture or seam failure âunder pressure)
- Audibleâ gurgling, increased pump⢠noiseor pump âmotor âoverheating/tripping (backpressure/restriction)
- Visible bulging of the hose â¤during pump operation (pressure⤠pulses indicating âŁweakened wall)
Diagnosing âŁpressure-related issues requires observing the⣠hose under an active drain cycle: a hose âthat⤠bulges âor sprays onyl while the â¤pumpâ runs indicates pressure containment failure rather than âaâ static âleak. Leaks at the âclamp typically indicate â˘mechanical loosening or improper clamp type, while longitudinalâ splits andâ pinholes commonly form â¤where the hoseâ contacts sharp edges orâ is repeatedly flexed in a tight bend. For practicalâ troubleshooting, inspect clamp torque and âŁseating,⢠check for kinks or pinch points in theâ routing,â and correlate⢠symptoms (e.g., pump trip, slow drain) with visible hose behavior;â replacing â¤the â˘hose with a correctly sized 807117001 â˘equivalent restores designed hydraulic performance âandâ reduces recurrence when⤠installation and routing conform⣠toâ the â¤appliance’s⣠service instructions.

Compatibility,Replacement Considerations and step-by-Stepâ Installation with Post-Install Testing
The â¤807117001 Frigidaire Dishwasher âDrain Hose is a flexible,corrugated drain conduit that carries âŁwastewater from the dishwasherâ pump toâ theâ household⤠drain,garbage disposal,or air gap. Compatibility depends primarily onâ the hose end fitting⤠diameter, clamp style andâ overall⤠length: many âdishwashers and sink-side connections use âsimilarâ ribbed PVC⣠hose profiles, but some Frigidaire models âuse a specific âmolded hose end or⣠integral connector that requires either an OEM replacement âorâ an adapter. When selecting a âreplacement, match the inner âŁdiameter and the pumpâ outlet âconnection style, âverifyâ material resistance⤠to hotâ water âand detergents,â and confirm the â˘hose âlength allows a⢠proper high loop⤠orâ connection to the air gap without kinks or sharp bends; failing to matchâ these details commonlyâ produces âleaks or⢠slow drainage rather than âŁelectronic faults in the dishwasher itself.
Replacement and installation are primarily â˘mechanical tasks:⤠isolate power, access the lower âkickplate, remove the â˘old hose from the⣠pump outlet andâ sink/disposal connection,⤠route the new hose along the original path maintaining the âanti-siphon high âloop or âinstalling âŁthe⢠air gap per localâ plumbing â¤requirementsand secure both ends with⣠appropriate clamps. â¤After installation, perform a postâinstall âtest⢠by running a short drain âŁcycle whileâ inspecting⢠eachâ connectionâ forâ seepage, listening for âŁabnormal pump â¤noiseâ that can indicate an inlet â¤obstruction or misfit, â¤and confirming complete⣠evacuation⣠of wash water; âif water remains â¤in the tub or drains slowly,⤠check the âdisposal⤠knockout,â trap,â andâ air gap for blockages⤠beforeâ rechecking⣠hose routing â¤and clamp tightness.
- basic⤠installation checklist: power âoff, access pump⣠outlet, remove old hose, route new hose with high loop/air âgap,⣠secure clamps, runâ test drain and inspect â˘for â˘leaks.
