CONNECT DRAIN LINE
(CONT.)
NOTE: TOTAL DRAIN HOSE LENGTH MUST NOT
EXCEED 16’ FROM THE REAR OF THE DISHWASHER
FOR PROPER DRAIN OPERATION.
• Connect drain line to air gap, waste tee or disposer
using the previously determined method. Secure
hose with a hose clamp.
Method 1 – Air gap with waste tee or disposer
Method 2 – “High drain loop” with waste tee or
disposer
With this method you will need the drain hose hanger
set aside earlier.
Fasten drain hose to underside of countertop with the
provided hanger.
IMPORTANT – When connecting drain line to
disposer, check to be sure that drain plug has been
removed. DISHWASHER WILL NOT DRAIN IF PLUG
IS LEFT IN PLACE.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges for a
no drain complaint.
Make sure excess drain hose has been pulled through
the cabinet opening. This will prevent excess hose
in the dishwasher cavity from becoming kinked or
crushed by the dishwasher.

CONNECT DRAIN LINE
(CONT.)
• Determine size of inlet port. If required, cut drain hose
connector on the marked line, to fit the inlet port.
• If a longer drain hose is required and your model
looks like one of these:
Replace the provided user bag drain hose with
GE Appliances service part WD24X10065, a 12’ long
hose which can be connected directly to the drain loop
already attached to the unit.
• If a longer drain hose is required and your model
looks like this:
You can purchase an extension drain hose -
GE Appliances service part WD24X10062 (4’ length)
or WD24X10065 (12’ length) which can be connected
directly to the drain hose already attached to the unit.
To use the extension, you must cut the drain hose
provided with the unit as shown. Use a hose cutter or
razor blade knife to cut the drain hose.
If service part hose is not available, an additional hose
with coupler, ID of 5/8” or 7/8” and no longer than 66”,
may be attached to the provided user bag drain hose.
Secure the connection with hose clamp (obtain locally)
to the provided user bag drain hose.
