Dishwasher Installation

DISHWASHER WET TEST
CHECKLIST (CONT.)
• Check the electrical connection to the water valve.
The red electrical connector should be plugged into
the dishwasher water valve. If it is not plugged in,
turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Plug the
red connector into the dish washer water valve and
then restore power.
• Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak
is found, turn off power, tighten connections and
restore power.
NOTE: A small amount of water may splash out of
the fill funnel, on the right side of the tub, during the
first use after installation. Splash-out is most likely to
occur if there is air in the water supply line from new
construction or if the valve has been closed for an
extended time.
• Check for leaks around the door. A leak around
the door could be caused by the dishwasher door
rubbing or hitting adjacent cabinets. Reposition the
dishwasher if necessary. See Steps 11, 12 and 13.
• Most dishwasher models will drain about 3 minutes
after the first fill. Check the drain line for leaks when
dishwasher drains. If leaks are found, turn off power,
correct as necessary and then restore power.
• Open the dishwasher door and make sure most of
the water has drained. If the water does not drain,
check to be sure disposer plug has been removed
and/or air gap is free of debris.
• Let the dishwasher run through another fill and drain
cycle. Check again to be sure there are no leaks.
• At the end of the second drain, push the RESET
pad on electronic models. For dial models, unlatch
the door and rotate the dial to the Off position.

Red Connector
REPLACE ACCESS
PANEL AND TOEKICK
In this step you will need the panels and the two
screws set aside in Step 4.
There are two types of screws used. The 8-32 x 1/4”
screws are used at the top of the access panel and
should still be in place. The 10-16 x 3/8” screws are
used at the bottom of the access panel and secure
both the access panel and toekick.
IMPORTANT – Screws are not interchangeable.
To prevent damage to your dishwasher, use the
proper screw in the proper location. Do not mix
screw types or lengths.
• Place the toekick against the legs of the dishwasher.
• Remove the two 8-32 x 1/4” machine-thread screws.
• Align the access panel to the dishwasher.
• Select the two 8-32 x 1/4” machine-thread screws
just removed and insert them through the top holes
in the access panel and into the dishwasher frame.
• Tighten these screws.
• Align the toekick and make sure the bottom edge
is against the floor.
• Insert and tighten the two 10-16 x 3/8” sheet metal
thread screws, making sure the bottom edge of the
toekick stays in contact with the floor.
Tip: Prevent tub damage and reduce sound from
under the dishwasher.
Use the machine-thread screws in the top holes and
the sheet metal-thread screws in the bottom holes.
Make sure the toekick is against the floor.
