Anyone know the reason for this odd design for dishwasher water inlet?
I'm going through a Hotpoint dishwasher from the late 80's - model HDA
467-02WH and the water inlet fitting seems to have an odd design. The nipple for the incoming water hose instead of being a tube, is this half tube configuration - see attached pic. The rubber hose slides over this half tube. It's not broken, that's the way it is. Anyone know why it's configured this way instead of a tube? Also, the piece has an open configuration as seen in the view of one just like the one on mine lying on its side. Wondering why this is. View of the half tube https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6iR...it?usp=sharing View of the open sides https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6iR...it?usp=sharing Thanks. |

Who knows, but IMO when you get to that stage of disassebly with an 80s vintage dishwasher, it's time to just buy a new one. |

Both a used on on craigslist for $50.... still running 5 years later. |

I suspect it's intended as an anti-siphon device. |
