Dishwasher Installation
STEP 19: 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 18.
• Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 14.
• 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 14.
• Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 13.
• Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,
wiring or other components. See Step 13.
• 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 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.

STEP 20: DISHWASHER WET TEST
• Turn on power supply or plug power cord into outlet,
if equipped.
• Select a cycle to run and push the
Start/Reset
pad.
• 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 13.
• Press and hold the
Start/Reset
pad 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 7, 9, 10 and 17.
• 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 17.
• Press
Start/Reset
pad once again and run dishwasher
through another cycle. Check for leaks and correct if
required.
• Repeat this step as necessary.
