Is there any way this hose could be fixed? I could really use some advice.

Hi everyone, My dishwasher has unfortunately sprung a leak and is leaving a large puddle of water with each wash. I opened it up and found a hole in one of the drainage tubes underneath. Normally I would just try and repair the part, but very frustratingly, I can’t find it ANYWHERE. I’ve scoured parts suppliers, Ebay, direct from the manufacturer, marketplace, etc. But have come back empty handed. So, it looks like my only option (outside of buying a completely new washer, which I'd rather not do) is to try and fix the hose. I’d replace it with a different hose, but this one has a backstop flap inside as well. Which I’m assuming is necessary(?) The hole is right on a corner of it, so I’m not sure I could wrap anything around that part properly. I took it to Home Depot, and they suggested I use Flex Seal on it. I tried it (using about 15 coats), and while it sealed it nicely, when I re-installed it, the hot water being drained through it heated up the seal and caused it to balloon. So unfortunately that won’t work. If anyone has any suggestions on what I could do, it would be really appreciated!
