Hi,

I bought and fitted a new dishwasher the other day, but after fitting the inlet water pipe and waste pipe I noticed the fixing that joins the waste pipe to the rest of the pipes (the multiconnector I think it’s called) seems to be leaking water out of the side as there’s a very small gap when I’ve screwed it back on.

Image attached.

Do i need a new fixing or have I not reattached it correctly?

Thanks

I think that’s a mark on the photo.

I also just screwed it on tight and end of the pipe comes out anyway so it’s not actually doing anything.
 
It could be wedged inside the fitting, where you screwing the nut on. Remove it. No place it on the pipe.
It goes: nut, red ring , black conical washer( flat side nearest the red ring, sloping side into the fitting

Great thank you, I’ll check and give it a go.

Found it underneath the kitchen unit! ‍♀️
Thank you very much - that’s solved it.
