# How to Fix a Whirlpool Dishwasher That Leaks From Underneath
A leaking Whirlpool dishwasher typically occurs due to a loose drain hose connection, the hose that connects to your piping and the dishwasher to dispense dirty dishwater. Although a professional plumber can fix the leaking drain hose, you can also repair the problem yourself by tightening the drain hose connector. Once tightened, the drain hose pushes water from the dishwasher without water buildup or excessive spills.
