2

Turn on your dishwasher (refer to the 

User Guide

 for instructions).

Make 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 the power supply off, then tighten connections. Restore 
power after the leak is corrected.

6

Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent 
cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary. See “Step

plumbing as necessary.

been removed and/or the air gap is not plugged. See “Step 1

4

: Connecting the drain hose” on page

check

 

the

 

drain line for kinking.

10

Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.

Step 17: Replacing the toekick

the toekick to touch the floor. Install the toekick screws.

Note:

 Make sure that you install the toekick in the correct direction. The toekick should be aligned correctly with the junction box.

You’ll need:

Phillips screwdriver
