Disassembly: to get access to the underlying problem

• To get to the hose, I remove the right side cover.

• Start by removing the external tank,

• By the kitchen, unscrew the rear drain plug cap and tilt the Cuisinart slightly to let any water drain out into the sink.

(The black plastic drain cover is just a plastic on plastic join: be very careful not to cross-thread it, since you will be opening and closing it a few times in this repair.)
