hole in hose

[Zaffy]

A hole the size of a coin has appeared in the corrugated, flexible, outlet hose of my dishwasher. The perpetrator, a mouse I presume. Any ideas how to repair it? The dishwasher is a Bosch. Thanks.

I was hoping I might be able to either cover the hole with some super-duper tape invention - or cut a piece off and join a new piece. My problem is, I have looked to see where the hose goes into the dishwasher and cannot see, even if I remove the plastic clip holding it in place, how to remove it. It disappears inside the dishwasher and I don't know how to get at it.

I forgot about the super-duper tape, you answered it your self

It may be attached to another pipe or the pump internally within the dishwasher - possibly with a jubilee clip or spring clip.

Wow! Is there super-duper tape? I thought it was just my wishful thinking.

Has anyone tried silicone self fusing tape. Is it super-duper?

I've replaced several leaking sections of pipe that customers had repaired with this stuff themselves.





They were still leaking

Thanks, time for a re-think
