Default Whirlpool dishwasher mid-conversion??

Well...here is what I was given by the repair clinic:

Apparently, the item where the water poured out of in my picture was
the inlet valve...but that doesn't really help me, because I have to
believe that the problem is that the hoses are hooked up wrong, or I
need to hook the drain hose up to this port, or something simple like
that.


Any ideas? I'm listing the house for sale next month, and having
a working dishwasher sounds better in the ad than a defunct, DIY
dishwasher.


Thanks!


Portables have a hose that does double duty, supplying the water to the
machine, then allowing it to drain back to the sink, right under the faucet
connection. Do you have a hose like that? Is one part hooked to the drain
under the machine?- Hide quoted text -

Yes, there is a hose that stores in the back of the unit that latches
onto the faucet as you mentioned. There is a port with no hose
connected underneath that starts dumping water out after it is a
couple of minutes into the cycle. Unfortunately, there is no obvious
unconnected hose that goes there. So I figure that this was made into
a built-in, and then pulled out of the house to be auctioned. I just
need to know how it is *supposed* to be hooked up.
