DD97-00403E Dishwasher Drain Hose Assembly
Product description
A dishwasher that drains slowly or leaks at the hose connection can turn an ordinary cleanup into a repair job. This replacement assembly is listed for select Samsung DW80 dishwashers and is intended to address drain-hose problems.
The 7.25-foot corrugated hose is described as anti-kink and anti-twist, with metal clamps and molded connectors. Nitrile gloves are included for handling a dirty hose during removal.
Fit is the first thing to get right. A matching part number and dishwasher model matter more than the general DW80 name.
How it fits
The listing identifies this assembly as a replacement for DD97-00403E and DD97-00403A, along with AP6981640, PS12749174, EAP12749174, and PD00069562. It names Samsung DW80K5050U, DW80R9950U, and DW80J3020U as compatible examples, and refers to other models in the DW80 series. That is useful guidance, but it does not establish that every DW80 dishwasher takes this hose. Match your appliance’s model and existing part number against the listing before starting a repair.
For a typical replacement, the gloves may come in handy when disconnecting a hose with residue or standing water, while the included clamps are intended to secure the connections. The listing says specialized plumbing tools are not needed, but access to the hose and the condition of the existing connections can still affect how straightforward the job feels. If you are working in a tight cabinet, the corrugated, anti-kink design is intended to help the hose route without twisting or pinching. How much that helps depends on the space and hose path in your setup.
Pros
The kit brings the hose, metal clamps, and nitrile gloves together, so you are not sourcing those listed pieces separately. Its 7.25-foot length gives you a specific figure to compare with the route in your dishwasher installation. The product description also calls out a smooth inner wall and resistance to heat and detergent, features intended to support drainage and regular dishwasher use.
Compared with choosing a generic hose based mainly on appearance, this assembly’s listed replacement numbers and named Samsung models offer a more targeted starting point. The trade-off is that model-family wording alone is not enough to confirm fit, a mismatch can make an otherwise sensible replacement unusable. The listing states a 1-year product coverage period, but does not provide details here about exclusions or the claims process.

The description calls the hose heavy-duty and says it meets OEM specifications, but those claims are not accompanied by independent test details on the spec sheet. Treat them as listing claims rather than a substitute for confirming the part number.
Buying verdict
Worth considering if your Samsung dishwasher’s exact model or existing hose number matches the compatibility information and you want a replacement kit with clamps and gloves included. For example, if a slow-draining dishwasher has led you to inspect the drain hose, this gives you a named part-number trail to compare before removing the old assembly.
It may not suit you if you cannot confirm compatibility, need a different hose length, or would rather have a repair handled by a professional. Choose this over a less-specific hose when the listed identifiers line up, if they do not, pause and identify the correct replacement rather than relying on “DW80 series” alone.
