The faucet adapter usually does not need Teflon tape. A pair of pliers is only needed for a half turn. It's very easy to over tighten and strip out threads causing leaks.

There is a rubber washer that fits in the faucet before you put the adapter on. That washer is probably missing.

Hi. I bought the SPT Model 206343600 for my daughter. She has a pull out faucet, not your typical faucet. Can this dishwasher still be used?

NO you can’t. These are portable dishwashers that hook to the sink. In order for the quick connect to fit on the faucet, it must be a American Standard faucet. The pull out kind won’t fit on the faucet and no adapter is made.

Kenmore Ultra wash III will no longer stay connected to faucet after filling...what part should I replace the hose or the faucet adaptor? When we turn the faucet on to start up the dishwasher it falls...

if your adapter that hooks up to the faucet has 4 little white plastic jaws inside it then it can be rebuilt. there is a kit that replaces those 4 jaws, the spring, the attaching clip and the internal seal.. usually runs around 10 buks or so. if i was at the store i could tell you the part number without needing your model number, but any good appliance parts store should be able to locate them for you..
hope this helps,
best of luck,

Connection to my faucet

There is an adapter that you can buy at most home improvement or hardware stores. If you can't find it locally you could also try sears.com for the part.
