I have a kitchenaid KDFE204EBL1 dishwasher, purchased in 2015, that has been leaking from the left side for some time...a little at first, and now a small flood. I cleaned the filters, and it still leaked. I moved the dishwasher out, and I found water on the left side panel, beneath the white insulation. I also found -- on this left side panel -- a black hose leading into a small plastic box: this hose has rust on it, and rust has accumulated around it, and on the plastic box. I have tried to remove the hose, but it is fixed into place. I would like to repair it myself, as dishwashers of the same quality are near $ 1,000. I need advice.

Are you referring to the fill hose that goes from the water inlet valve to the fill inlet device?

Fill Hose W10878507

If its rusty then check for a leak in it.
