Got a dishwasher arriving for my mum today, there used to be a DW there before she moved in.

The old waste pipe for the DW used to be in the top right.

The DW drain should just push-fit onto that barbed spigot.

What's the electrovalvethingy for?

Maybe the Bowden cable for the pop-up waste.

Stick a screwdriver in the end to check there isn't something blocking the spigot. Unlikely on that one, but on the ones that are made as part of the drain have a disc which has to be removed before use. It's possible that someone has resealed it if the dishwasher was removed a while ago.

Don't use too much force pushing the dishwasher hose onto the spigot, or at least support the pipework as you do it - you really don't want to disturb any of those joints.

Thanks guys there was indeed a blanking cap inside (Like a washer but without the hoe in the middle) I removed it and fitted DW, all good now.
