The black hose on the left side (when looking at the dishwasher is eaten by mice....I need the name of the hose and part number. kenmore 665.1703 is the model number...

You need to partially pull out the dishwasher (hopefully the water supply line and drain line and electrical line have enough slack to allow you to do this) and run it through a cycle, then look carefully where the leak is coming from. More than likely it's either the black hose is cracked or the leak is coming from the point where the hose connects to the side of the tub. Appliance Repair Forums

The exact steps depend on the make (brand name) and model of your dishwasher, but in all cases, you will have to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter. If it's an "American" dishwasher (Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, GE, Frigidaire, etc.), you will see the hose clamp that connects the drain hose to the dishwasher, and it will be easy to disconnect the hose from the dishwasher. But if you've got a "foreign" dishwasher (Samsung, LG, Bosch, Fischer-Paykel), replacement is much more difficult and should be left up to a professional dishwasher repairman.

Need prefix for model number. Need complete model number. I believe that the numbers that you have given are stock numbers from your user manual. Kenmore can be several different manufacturers. Some brands have kits to mount unit from the sides using brackets at the top. If stainless steel tub, look for removable plastic caps on the right and left sides of unit. These holes would be used for installing bolts into cabinet. If plastic tub and no kits are available holes can be drilled into sides to secure unit to cabinet. As long as heads of bolts(screws) are flush to allow door closing, unit will not leak because of tub(door gasket.

Check to see if the electricity supplied to the drying elements is connected at the back of the dishwasher. If so, this would be the hottest spot in the dishwasher during the dry cycle. Most dishwashers have the flatware baskets located on the sides; not the front because of conflict with the detergent holder, or the back because of higher heat or (on newer models) a power scrubbing feature. See if you can put the flatware baskets on the sides. This should help.

In any case, the baskets should not be melting wherever they are located. This could be fire hazard.

In the space below the door, look on the left side and you will see 2 almost clear drain hoses. One goes to a loop up the side of the dishwasher, the other is tucked into the left frame just for shipping. Gently pull it out and connect to the supplied drain hose then onto the disposer or drain tee.

The installation instructions should show this fairly well.

Hope this helps,

No you will have disconnect the copper line. I would suggest that while you have it out that you replace the copper line with a braided stainless steel hose (also known as a dishwasher connector hose) If possible get a 60" or 72" hose so you can hook up the dishwasher when it is out and then push it back in with the water supply already hooked up.

Look at following areas for the model number

* On Right Hand Side Of Upper
* Front Tub Or Door Jam
* On Flange Behind Dishwasher Door
* Behind Latch Strike
* Upper Left Corner Of Frame

The model number will be something like 110.123456

Did you have this problem before replacing the solenoid coil or it start after ? In case it started after solenoid coil replacement, its look like you did something wrong while assembling it back. Disconnect Dishwasher power cable and close water tap - remove the selenoide coil, clean the valve from scale or other dirt and check that you placed all parts back properly (spring,gasket...). Good luck !!
