Q: How to check the drainage hose for bends or twists?

Checking for bends in the drainage hose is an important maintenance step for your DWTPC5FC dishwasher, as a bent or twisted hose reduces drainage efficiency and can leave standing water. How to proceed: Turn off the power supply and close the water inlet of the dishwasher. Locate the drainage hose at the back or underneath the appliance (it leads to the wall drain or sink). Visually inspect the entire length of the hose: look for kinks, twists, or crushed areas. Gently unroll the hose if there are bends: it should form a gradual curve, not a tight kink. Also, ensure that the hose is not pinched between the dishwasher and the adjacent cabinet. If you discover a pronounced bend, carefully straighten it. If the hose is damaged or cannot be straightened, it must be replaced. The maintenance manual for your appliance contains references for the appropriate replacement parts.
