we have two loose white acordian type hoses, one attached to the side of the unit and the other comes from underneath. Do we attach both hoses to the drainage under the sink, and if not where does the hose go that does not go to the drainage under the sink?

- Ok we have it connected but the dishwasher will not drain now. Now what do we do?
the loose hose under the dishwasher connects to the hose on the side of the dishwasher. the hose on the side is looped around is acting as a anti-siphon to control the dishwasher from draining as it's filling.there should have been a clamp with the dishwasher to connect the hoses.

We have a garbage disposal and the hose underneath the dishwasher is connected to it, the hose on the side we put underneath the dishwasher to go into the drainage pan that is there
It sounds like you have connected your dishwasher to a garbage disposal.
The 2 hoses provided with your dishwasher connect together.
You run the drain hose through a hole in the bottom/back of your cabinet, then up to the top of the cabinet, then connect it to the drain on the garbage disposal. (The reason that you run your drain up to the top of the cabinet is: This is called an air gap, and helps keep a little water in the drain line, which will prevent sewer gases from entering your dishwasher.)
Be sure to knock the plug out of the drain of the garbage disposal. A garbage disposal is designed to work with or without a dishwasher. The plug is in the center of the drain. The best way to knock this plug out is to pull the garbage disposal, and with a flat screwdriver, knock the plug out.
Then remove the plug from the disposal. Reinstall the disposal.
Install the drain hose. The drain hose will connect right up to the disposal using the clamp provided with the dishwasher.
This should help you. If not please attach more info.

When I start the dishwasher, it does not fill with water and begin the cycle. The dishwasher starts by activating the drain, and water slowly pours in but because the drain cycle is on, it just empties. For some reason, the diswasher drain cycle stays on even as I open the door.
