I am not sure how to install this dishwasher because it has a vent on the side that has a hose connected to it. I have no idea where this extra hose is supposed to go?
What the heck is this vent for? Do I connect a hose to it? And if I'm suppose to connect a hose to it, where would this hose go? I'm guessing that hot moist air from the dishwasher would come out from this vent so it should vent somewhere where this hot moist air won't do any harm.

You shouldn't have to do anything, as the water supply line should have a one way valve in there somewhere. However, you might want to remove it, just so it doesn't get in the way, and you have it undamaged should you ever need it.
Check to make sure there is no residual water underneath the unit, they have a flood sensor and if it is picking up water in the motor area it won;t run.
check your fill hose. thats the water coming into unit . if its not that then your water valve is bad. unit is not receiving water. if this helps you please send me a 4 thumbs uo post
i would check to see if you are using the factory drain hose or if you have extended the hose to reach the sink drain. the only other thing that might cause this would be a restriction in the hose at the drain pump outlet, but check the drain hose first.
Waste line from dishwasher to waste connects to one of
small spigot on extension pipe above the disposal up high under counter
small spigot on side of disposal directly above sewer connection, below blade
small spigot on sewer line below disposal, but above U trap
at the dishwasher end, the hose connects to the pump output, under the base of the dishwasher, usually left side of center, there is no external spigot
you have to run the waste line under from the back, and connect from the front , by removing the kick plate under the door opening
Faulty inlet valve or water in the bottom tray which will activate the float swich and pump out any water. See that this moves up and down freely. Turn electrics off first.
Under the dishwasher you should she a hose barb by the drain pump assembly. One end of the drain hose hooks to the pump and the other to your drainage system.
That vent hose is called a condensation tube. it runs from the right side of the dishwasher up in a loop then back down into the back base of the machine. it allows the dishwasher to breathe in a sense during a wash since it makes a complete seal. if that tube was obstructed or not directed in the up-loop then back down into the base, then it would be possible for water to pressurize through the seals and leak some water onto the floor. kind of like shaking up a new soda bottle. it helps release pressure from the heat. it wont leak water into the base but the tube will accumulate humidity which is normal and will evaporate quickly.
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.
