It is difficult to see properly from the video but it appears that the fitting under the tap is the sort used on copper lines that have a flair inside the nut that fits on a taper on the tap.. Have you tried tightening the nut. or remove the hose and see what is causing it to leak.

This might help with disassembly. Mine was leaking also, but my main problem was no spray. Use my disassembly instructions to remove the pump/motor. If you notice that the leakage is from the pump and not a loose connection, remove the pump cover and apply a thin bead of Blue RTV sealant to the rubber ring. This stopped the leak in my pump.
________________________________
My Danby dishwasher (DW) stopped working. The spray arm
stopped spinning completely and very little water was coming out of the arm.
When I removed the spray arm (CAUTION: reverse threaded, turn CW to loosen and CCW
to tighten) and ran the DW, very little water was spraying out of the pump.
I thought maybe the pump was clogged. So, I followed the
recommendations I had seen online about running a few cycles with Vinegar to
clear the crud from the pump, but this did not help.
It seemed like the motor was operating, and there were no
strange smells to indicate the motor was burned…just no water spraying. So I
thought it must be the pump. Before disassembly, I tried to locate a
replacement pump. I searched far and wide, both locally and online, and could
not locate a replacement pump. So with nothing to lose, I decided to
disassemble the DW, take a look and see what I could find. I am glad that I
did.
The bottom line is that I disassembled the dishwasher and
found that the plastic pump impeller had worked its way off the pump shaft and
was not turning. I forced some Teflon plumbers tape over the shaft and forced
the impeller back onto the shaft. The impeller has a flat spot to line up with
the shaft and I pushed the impeller down on the shaft as far as it would go. I then
used a small socket to fit over the shaft and GENTLY tapped the impeller for a
final seating. I reassembled the dishwasher and it worked like a charm.
Since I could not find any service manual or instructions
online for this DW, I thought I would share my disassembly/reassembly
procedure.
Since my instructions are too long to post here, a complete repair document including a link to pictures can be found at:

If you are still trying to sort out this issue try the following.
From what you say then it is most likely the aqua sensor on the side of the dishwasher. The gurgling sounds that you hear are likely the drain pump running and the un-drainable water sloshing in the sump.
Verify that there is actually water going to the dishwasher( Basic step but often overlooked)
Next the inlet valve will have to be checked. This is the part where the water line from the house connects to the dishwasher, under the toe/kick panel. Remove power from the dishwasher. Disconnect the dishwasher electrical connections (2 wires) to the inlet valve and connect it (carefully to 110 V power) using a jumper wire. With 110V power the valve should open and water will flow into the dishwasher, if not then the fault is in the inlet valve.
If this checks fine then the fault is likely in the aqua sensor...
On the outer left side (viewed from front) there is a panel, Behind this panel there is a small clear(of light blue) plastic mechanism with hoses and wires attached( There is usually a yellow disk at the top about 6cm in diameter) this is a float and sensor assembly there is tells the control the water level and works as an emergency drain if there is an issue. There will be a red stick protruding downward to the base and a Styrofoam float on which the stick rests. This is a pan overflow sensor if the stick is too high the unit will go into drain and cut off the fill valve power. The yellow disk is a diaphragm which senses water height. This unit can become stuck with wear and hard water.

I would cheak your float switch witch is located on the bottom of inner dishwasher move it up and down may be stuck.then try.If that will not work you may have a bad micro door switch.Good luck:)

Provided you are reasonably handy and careful you may be able to replace it yourself. I have done so on a couple myself. You just need to go slowly and carefully. Always turn the unit off and disconnect from the power before you do anything.
Firstly
you will need to remove the bottom drawer and dry out the flood sensor. You need to pull the drawer out fully and then activate the tabs on the
left and right side at the bottom front of the drawer to move in move
it out further and off the tracks.
Make sure you have some towels on
the floor in front of the unit. Once you have the drawer out lay it on
it's right side on top of the towels. There will be an amount of water
still in the unit which will likely drain onto the towels as you do so.
Now you will be able to see into the drawer cavity, preferably with a
torch, and also see the flood sensor on the rear left hand side. You
should also notice a fair bit of water in the bottom of the cavity. As
you've made sure the power is off, you can mop up the water.
The
plastic cover over the flood sensor can be gently removed by pressing
down and sliding it to the right. Once the cover is off you can again
mop up the excess water before using a hairdryer to fully dry the flood
sensor out. Don't put the hairdryer too close to the flood sensor, just
let the warm air slowly dry things out over a 10-15min period.
You are a couple of steps ahead as you know which is the offending drawer with the broken drainage hose.. This is quite a fiddly/delicate job to remove the old one. Note:
You can only get a replacement hose from an authorised parts supplier.
This is due to the narrow diameter of the hose and the coupling which
joins the pump under the drawer. Before you throw the old one out, make
sure you remove the small rubber valve. It would appear to prevent
backflow into the pump and is not supplied with the replacement.
I
didn't totally remove the clear housing from the motor assembly, but was
able to remove it part way and gently open it enough to get the old
hose out. There are tabs at various points around the clear housing which you need to open just enough to get the hose out. In order to more easily complete the fit of the new hose, you will have to carefully remove the whole unit from the wall cavity.
Make sure you disconnect the inlet hose, power and drainage hoses under
your sink. This allows the unit to move freely from the cavity without
damaging anything. There are four securing tabs inside the bottom
drawer cavity behind the sound insulation which need to be removed to do this. (All quite clear in
the instruction manual).
If you are at this stage I would also
recommend installing the 'retro fit linkage support'. It is much more
practical and robust when compared to the plastic one the originally
came with the unit. It has a metal rod and a mount that fits into the
corner of the draw cavity. Makes much more sense than the plastic rod
that came with the units I've repaired.
Once you've replaced the hose and put the new linkage support on you should minimise the chances of the hose kinking and splitting again.
Good luck and remember if in doubt get a technician out to do the job.
Testimonial: "Thankyou for your help I hope I can manage to fix the problem with your detailed help.I hope this problem never happens again as it caused $20,000 damage to our holiday house while it leaked over 3 weeks.Ghastly mess in the room below dishwasher."

Hi
When the Dishwasher won't fill you'll need to
check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the float switch
assembly. When the water fills your dishwasher, a float rises along with it. As
the float reaches a certain threshold level, it shuts off the flow of water,
thereby preventing a leak. Sometimes the float can get stuck in the wrong
position in your dishwasher, and it can prevent your dishwasher from filling.
Sometimes it can happen due to float valve and on other occasions due to float
switch. Inspect the water hose coming to the dishwasher for any blockages. If the
hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the
water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve
is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check
continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then
you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is
fine then the float switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps...
Please post back if you need more information.
