INSTALL DRAIN HOSE TO
DISHWASHER DRAIN PORT
In this step you will need the drain hose and clamp set
aside in Step 1.
• Stand the dishwasher upright.
• Place drain hose clamp over 1-3/16" inside diameter
end of drain hose with the clamp screw positioned
on the bottom of the hose.
IMPORTANT
— Prevent drain hose damage and
possible leaks. Be careful not to nick or cut the drain hose.
• Push the end of the drain hose over the drain pump
outlet being careful not to disturb the check valve.
Refer to Figure Q.
• Seat the drain hose end against the hose stops on
the pump outlet.
• Position hose clamp against the front lip of the drain
hose and tighten clamp.
NOTE:
Drain hose
supplied with
dishwasher is
approximately 78"
long. If a longer hose
is needed, a 120"
long hose (10 feet)
may be purchased
from an authorized
GE appliance dealer.
The 10' long hose is
part number
GPF10L
.
Tip for leak-free
connections:
• Insert hose against stop on pump.
• Position clamp against front lip of drain hose.
• Tighten clamp to at least 15 inch-pounds of torque.
Tip for quiet drain pump operation:
Position hose clamp with clamp screw on the bottom side
of the hose. This will prevent the clamp from coming in
contact with the rear brace. Clamp contact with the rear
brace could create noise when the drain pump is running.

POSITION WATER LINE AND
HOUSING WIRING
