Dishwasher Installation

CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
If a power cord with plug is already installed
proceed to Step 19.
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.
• 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.
• Make sure that the junction box cover is resting on
the mounting bracket.
• If using a Power Cord Kit, use GE Appliances part
number
WX09X70910
or
WX09X70911
and refer to
the included instructions.

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 18.
• Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. 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 1 quart 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.
