Dishwasher recirculation pipe coming off part way through wash (Candy CDI 6061)

Hi all,

Firstly thank you for looking at my post,

My father has a 2yr old Candy CDI 6061 dishwasher. Recently they come into the kitchen part way through the cycle and found water everywhere. On some inspection it appears that the pipe that comes from the recirculation pump that pumps the water back into the machine had come off. Long story short we have purchased new clips from candy and clipped this back on tightly and rerun the cycle, however about 15 minutes in the pipe blew back off again and as you can imagine, the kitchen was flooded again.

No idea what seems to be doing this, but the pipe was very securely fixed with the correct clip and ran for 15 minutes before coming away again.

Please see images for the location of the pipe that is coming off. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas? The machine is immaculate and only 2 years old so would love to repair it rather than scrap it....

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

    I'm not familiar with Candy or that sort of clip. Is the inside of the hose smooth or does it have a ridge that has to go over something to hold it on the fitting? If it's smooth & the clip just isn't holding it how about trying a jubilee clip? Don't do it up too tight though!

    I presume there is no blockage inside of the plastic housing that the hose is fitted to?
    As has been sugested try a jubilee clip,you can buy narrower ones the same size as the clip that is on at the moment.
    When you re-fit make sure the inside of the hose and the plastic tube are bone dry to give a better grip.
