Abstract:
1. A water-conducting household appliance, comprising: a drain hose having a first portion inside the household appliance and a second portion extending out of a wall of the household appliance; and a holding element entirely located and secured in an interior of the household appliance such that the holding element is prevented from moving with respect to the wall of the household appliance, wherein the drain hose is secured by the holding element such that an open line end of the second portion of the drain hose is pre-positioned in a predetermined fixed connecting position on an external side of the wall of the household appliance and wherein the holding element prevents the open line end of the drain hose from moving to and fro in a longitudinal direction of the open line end of the drain hose such that a contacting piece of a testing device can be automatically connected to the open line end of the drain hose in production of the water-conducting household appliance without forcing the drain hose to move to and fro in the longitudinal direction.
