Part 529855 is a genuine 1.9m inlet hose for Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwashers. With more than a hundred models on file, it covers the DD605 and DD603I, the DD60DCX9 and DD60SCX9, the DD60DCX7 and DD60SCTX7, the DD60DI7, DD60SI9 and DD60SLI9, and the DD90SDFTX2. It runs from the water tap to the dishwasher's inlet connection.

Water on the floor near the dishwasher

The inlet hose carries water from the tap to the dishwasher's fill valve each time a drawer fills. It sits under pressure in a tight space, so age, heat and being squashed behind the cabinetry all take their toll. Warning signs include a damp floor or cupboard base, drips at the tap or the hose connection, bulges or cracking in the outer cover, and drawers that fill slowly because the hose is kinked. A split inlet hose can release a lot of water quickly, so replace one that looks tired before it fails.

Changing the inlet hose

Turn off the tap and switch the dishwasher off at the wall. Reaching the connection at the dishwasher end usually means removing the toe kick or sliding the unit out, so check your installation guide. Make sure the sealing washers are in place, tighten the fittings by hand and then a little more, and avoid sharp bends when routing the hose. Turn the tap on slowly and check both ends for drips before running a wash.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the hose if it isn't leaking yet?

If it's cracked, bulging, stiff or kinked, yes. An inlet hose is under mains pressure whenever the tap is on, so a worn one can burst without warning. Turning the tap off when you go away for a while also reduces the risk.
