how do i replace the drain hose on my F and P 918td dishwasher?

My current one has a hole and I am not sure how to remove the hose from the dishwasher - it disappears into the back of the unit!!! I don't want to remove the wrong bits/covers, etc.
THanks

Hi Steve, disconnect the dishwasher and I lay it on it's side. Remove bottom cover under door, two hidden screws in the plastic ends. Remove earthing wires by pulling clips. Remove sliding plate by pushing up to top and lifting the clips clear of the holes. Remove door springs. Take out six retaining screws, 2 on front and 4 on rear. Let the bottom come free and put to the side leaving the float switch etc still connected. You will now see the hose attached to the pump, release plastic clip using 2 small screwdrivers and take off hose. You will need to keep the ends etc. to put on your new hose. Reassembly is just the opposite of disassembly, remember the earth tags and be careful of sharp edges.
Good luck.
