Re: What hose do i hook up to the sink in order to start...
If the washer has 2 seperate hoses, then you need to connect both hoses, if only 1 hose, then hook up tp the cold water supply.
Pl;ease leave feedback.
Thanks.

There are many campers and you gave so little information but I will try underneath where the 3 inch black pipe is it should have a cap take off the cap hook up a drain hose and put it in a sewer pipe right next to the drain are 2 handles a 2 inch foe gray water and 3 inch for black water pull on the handle it opens the drain tip dump the black first toilet the dump the gray to flush out the drain hose on the wall by the sink is a power panel it should say gray water fresh water and black water push the one you want to see the marks show how full hope this helps
Sounds like the machine is not draining all the water or doing it too slowly, check the pump filter (if it has one) for coins, debris etc. Check that the outlet pipe is clear particularly if it is connected directly to the plumbing under the sink, remove the grey washing machine hose from the spigot on the plumbing and check both bits for obstructions. That machine also has a 'container' which is located at the top left (when looking at the back of the machine) this is between in inner and outer sections of the grey corrugated drain hose, this container could also be block. If the machine starts to flash before the rinses then there is also a possibility that the heater is faulty. You can test this by putting the machine on a cold cycle and seeing if it completes without a problem.Let me know if you need any further assistance
Check your drain hose to make sure no water from the sink is draining back into the dishwasher. If it is,re-hook the drain hose up high under the sink. Next. Start the dishwasher without dishes or detergent. Once the fill and was cycle begins,open the door and por in 1 quart of WHITE vinegar and resume the wash cycle to completion.
If the unit is washing, ie the motor is turning the drum slowly during the wash part of the cycle, the the no spin will usually be due to the machine not draining all the water or doing it too slowly, check the pump filter (if it has one) for coins, debris etc. Check the the outlet pipe is clear particularly if it is connected directly to the plumbing under the sink, remove the grey washing machine hose from the spigot on the plumbing and check both bits for obstructions.
Hope this helps.
ps if there is no motor action on any of the cycle then it may be the motor brushes or the motor itself.
Hi, I see this is under the dryer section, i am assuming its a washing machine or washer dryer. If its leaking from the dispenser during the filling stage, this could be a blockage in the dispenser or as simple as the water pressure is too high,
If it leaks during the spin on the rinse cycle, this is generally a blockage on the outlet area (normally the sump hose/filter) remove the filter if fitted and check for blockages, if ther is no filter on this appliance, you will need to check the sump hose, this is located under the machine, mormally a black hose from the tank to the drain pump, remove from the tank end and look in there, Finally it could be a blockage at the end of the waste hose (grey one) it quite often gets blocked at the sink end. Hope this helps. Regards Sussex engineer
TYPICALLY A D/W WILL RETAIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE SUMP OF THE MACHINE IF YOUR DISHES ARE CLEAN AND DRY I WOULD NOT WORRY IF YOU HAVE DIRTY STANDING WATER IN THE SUMP FIRST OFF GO TO WHERE IT DRAINS UNDER THE SINK GET A 5 GALLON PAIL AND UN HOOK THE HOSE BLACK GREY OR OFF WHITE UN HOOK HOSE AND HIT CANCEL DRAIN BUTTON ON D/W AND SEE IF WATER IS NOW GONE THE PORT WHERE IT DRAINS MIGHT BE PLUGGED IF IT DOES NO CLEAR THE WATER YOU MIGHT HAVE IN THE PAST BROKE A GLASS IN THE MACHINE AND A SMALL PIECE HAS LODGED ITS WAY IN FRONT OF THE DRAIN PASSAGE DEPENDING WHAT MACHINE YOU HAVE DETERMINES HOW THE ISSUE IS SOLVED
Check the hose first - it could be split or damaged esprcially if it's old. Check all the clamps to be sure they are tight. Chack all connections to the dishwasher and drain spur under the sink. Check the drain trap fro any leaks.
Most portable washer come with a adapter for the sink so you can hook the fill and drain to the sink. There are some models that only hook the fill hose to the sink and the drain is a seperet hose you hang into a sink. If the unit is new the adapter should have been included with it. If it was used you can get the part at any hardware store or appliance parts dealer. Good luck
