Installation Instructions
STEP 16 CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
Skip this step if dishwasher is equipped with power cord.
Verify that power is turned off at the source.
If a power cord with plug is used, proceed to Step 16.
• Locate the junction box cover within the user bag.
• Secure house wiring to the back of the junction box with a
strain relief.
• Locate the three dishwasher wires, (white, black and green)
with stripped ends. Insert dishwasher wires through the small
hole in the junction box. Use wire nuts to connect incoming
ground to green, white to white and black to black.
• Install the junction box cover. Check to be sure that wires are
not pinched under the cover.
STEP 17 PRETEST CHECK LIST
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 in the user bag.
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. See Step 2, Figure H. If door drops or closes when
released, adjust spring tension.
Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Steps 9 and 10.
Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 12.
Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves,
adjust leveling legs. See Step 12.
Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition or relevel dishwasher. See Steps 11, 12 and 13.
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. See Steps 7 and 9 .
Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must
be between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F
temperature is required for best wash performance. See
“Prepare Hot Water Line,” page 5.
Add 2 quarts 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.
Avoid service call charges by ensuring there is an air gap
or drain hose routed through the required 32" minimum
height.
