You need to disconnect power and pull whole unit out to access and remove left side panel. Slide outer cabinet gasket up from frame. Remove torx screws from left front column with door open and remove left panel. Drain hoses are accessible at lower rear now. If squashing drain hose is your only problem, consider yourself fortunate.

it is connected on the left side under the metal cover which you need to remove 2 screws on left fron gasket and left up and off. there will be the connection. I removed the hose from the disposal end and also unplug the hose at the side of washer. Run water thru and blow till it was cleaned out all gunk or debre but be sure to have a bucket at the other end.
