STEP 14
PRE-TEST 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 in the literature package.
¨
Read the Owner’s Manual for operating instructions.
¨
Check door opening and closing. If door does not
open and close freely or tends to fall, check spring
adjustments. See Step 1.
¨
Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the
dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door
springs or other components. See Step 9.
¨
Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 10.
¨
Pull lower rack out, about half way. Check to be sure
it does not roll back or forward on the door. If the
rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See Step 10.
¨
Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits
cabinet, reposition or relevel dishwasher. See Step
10.
¨
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
Step 8.
¨
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.
