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

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
