GSD5258G00WW This is a GE dishwasher and there is a hose hanging down and we don't know where it goes

Google your dishwasher you will see parts on line There are loads just looked .

The drain hose normally goes to the air gap located next to the sink faucet if it doesn't have that make sure the hose is higher in the middle than it is where it drains to the garbage disposal the dirty water is coming from ur sink from when u wash dishes then it goes back to the dishwasher you need to elevate the drain hose

remove the drain hose and make sure its not plugged with food debris then hit the drain/cancel button and put the drain hose end in a bucket and see how much water comes out of the end of the hose if any,if the 2 green lights are flashing this too is a clue to this problem,also make sure you can hear the drain pump running when you start it as explained in the above statement

If you don't use it very often, or if it's getting old, it may be the seal or gasket in the bottom of it. If it doesn't get regular usage, that seal/gasket can get brittle and begin leaking. That would be one of the first places I would look. Also, you need to see if you can find where it's leaking.

Hi

Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller.

Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat.

Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

I would check for obstruction in the drain hose.Take the drain hose off the garbage disposer hold it as low as you can over a pan or bucket and see if the dishwasher will drain centrifugally.If it does I would assume the pump is bad or disconnected.Possibly a utensil jamming it.

If you've checked that nothing is in the way (no spoons hanging down, etc) just press and hold start and it will start up again and probably won't reoccur for the rest of the cycle. Our dishwasher started doing this near the end of its life....
