STEP 18: 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 17.
• Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 13.
• 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 13.
• Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 12.
• Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,
wiring or other components. See Step 12.
• 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.
• Check that tub trim does not contact the door.

STEP 17: CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
If a power cord with plug is already installed proceed to
Step 18.
In this step you will need the junction box cover and the
#10 Hex head screw from the screws set aside in Step 1.
• Secure house wiring to the back of the junction box with
a strain relief as shown in the MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED
section.
• Locate the 3 dishwasher wires, (white, black and green) with
the stripped ends coming out of the AC jumper. Use UL listed
wire nuts of appropriate size to connect incoming ground to
green, white to white and black to black.
• Install the junction box cover using #10 hex head screw.
Check to be sure that wires are not pinched under the cover
and that all wire nuts are inside the cover.
• Make sure that the junction box cover is resting on the
mounting bracket.
