Smeg dishwasher hose

A good bodge is to cut it through the damaged part, insert a piece of copper pipe and fasten with hose clips.

Doesn't work very well with the corrugated plastic drain pipes.

Agreed - I was assuming supply, not drain. Would solvent glue and a bit of plastic pipe work for the drain?

Been there done that not very well. I think the problem is 22mm copper pipe is the not just the right size, just too big, I think the pipe was about

Anyway a replacement standard 1.5m or 2m hose was only about £2 from a plumbers merchant (B&Q price was about £10), undid back panel of washing machine, released jubilee clip holding old waste pipe onto pump, flooded the floor with left over water, attached new pipe (+bit of fiddling to get through metal work) and machine worked fine for years.

I managed to do it with a plastic coupler and hot-melt glue, then covering the joint with self-amalgamating tape.

But the bore constriction presented by the coupler meant that food scraps, particularly grains of rice, would clog the pipe eventually and I got fed up and did what I should have done in the first place - bought a complete new pipe.

I have a pipe already. It seems as though the fitting on the Smeg is unreachable with any adult male hand. Is there something I'm not understanding about how to fit the pipe, I wonder?

I had to lie my Hotpoint dishwasher on one side (on a towel) to get at the pump and pipe fitting. Access from the service panel under the door was next to impossible.
