Dishwasher Installation
STEP 20: PRETEST CHECKLIST
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid
charges for a service call that is not covered by your
warranty.
• Check to be sure power is OFF.
• Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
• Locate the Owner’s Manual set aside in Step 1.
• Read the Owner’s Manual for operating instructions.
• Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and
close freely, check for proper routing of spring cable over
pulley. If door drops or closes when released, adjust spring
tension. See Step 2.
• Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Step 19.
• Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 15.
• Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 14.
• Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,
wiring or other components. See Step 14.
• Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in
contact with other components. Contact with motor or
dishwasher frame could cause noise.
• Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must be between
120°F and 140°F. A minimum of 120°F temperature is
required for best wash performance. See “Prepare Hot Water
Line,” page 5.
• Add 1 quart of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to
lubricate the pump seal.
• Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if
needed.
• Remove protective film if present from the control panel and
door.

STEP 21: DISHWASHER WET TEST
• Turn on power supply or plug power cord into outlet,
if equipped.
• Select a cycle to run and push the Start button.
• Ensure the door is latched. Dishwasher should start.
• Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water
does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water
and power are turned on.
• Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn
off power at the breaker, and then tighten water connections.
Restore power after leak is corrected.
• Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could
be caused by door rubbing or hitting against
adjacent cabinets. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary.
See Step 14.
• Press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds to cancel
the cycle. The unit will begin to drain. Check drain lines. If
leaks are found, turn off power at the breaker and correct
plumbing as necessary. Restore power after corrections are
made. See Steps 8, 10, 11 and 18.
• Open dishwasher door and make sure all of the water has
drained. If not, check that disposer plug has been removed
and/or air gap is not plugged. Also check drain hose to be
sure it is not kinked underneath or behind dishwasher. See
Step 18.
• Press Start button once again and run dishwasher through
another cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.
• Repeat this step as necessary.
STEP 22: REPLACE FLOOR PROTECT
(on some models)
• Slide Floor Protect under dishwasher.
• Angle the rear back edge of the Floor Protect upwards to
engage mounting tabs.
• Lift front of drip tray and secure with 2 screws.
•
