Hello,

I recently bought the LAGAN DW60 dishwasher and was about to install it, but I realized the water inlet hose is too short to connect to the faucet.

Does IKEA offer an original longer hose for purchase? There are many extension hoses available online, but I specifically need one with the Aquastop, as generic hoses don’t include it. I don’t want to do without it.

The manual states that an extension hose up to 4 m (13 ft) can be used. I don’t need that much length, only about 80-100 cm (31-39 inches) more would be enough. But what exactly does that mean?

“Faucet - extension with metal hose max. 4 m (13 ft) - original water inlet hose Aquastop”?

or

“Faucet - replacement water inlet hose Aquastop”?

Since the DW60 apparently comes from Whirlpool, would a compatible hose from them fit as well?

Or should I just go to IKEA and ask directly?

Thank you in advance.

Contact the Strudel/Bauknecht customer service directly.

Hi,

As the IKEA expert already mentioned, the customer service is the right place to contact. Only they can send you an extension for your hose; IKEA itself cannot assist with this and will only refer you to the manufacturer’s customer service.

Just call them, provide the long number found on the door of your appliance, and they will tell you the price right away. Shipping is usually quite fast, and then you can connect your dishwasher. Unfortunately, short lengths are not available, as it is a standard size.

Best regards

Don't use anything else, the current Lagan is from Electrolux...

The Lagan also does not have a water stop feature; the hose is rated for 20 bar (290 psi) nominal pressure and 60 bar (870 psi) burst pressure. The maximum pressure from your water supply is 9 bar (130 psi).

It’s useless anyway, the current Lagan model is from Electrolux ...

The Lagan doesn’t have a water stop either; the hose is rated for 20 bar (290 psi) nominal pressure and 60 bar (870 psi) burst pressure. The maximum pressure from your supply line is 9 bar (130 psi).

That’s correct, it doesn’t have a water stop but an aquastop.

M.W., the DW60 has a hose system called "Aqualock" in English, where the water inside the hose changes to black in case of a leak. Similar hoses with a length of 2.5 m (8 feet) are available here:
