STEP 7 INSTALL DRAIN HOSE TO
DISHWASHER DRAIN PORT
Skip this step if drain hose has been preinstalled.
In this step you will need the drain hose and
clamp set aside in Step 1.
IMPORTANT –
Prevent drain hose damage and
possible leaks. Be careful not to nick or cut the
drain hose.
• Route the small end of the drain hose from the
left side of the dishwasher through the strain relief
attached to the dishwasher frame and toward the
center of the dishwasher as shown in the figures.
• Place the hose clamp over the small end of the drain
hose.
• Push the small end of the drain hose over the drain
port on the collection chamber, making sure it is fully
seated against the hose stop.
• Tighten the hose clamp to at least 15 inch-pounds of
torque.
NOTE:
The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher
is approximately 78” long. If a longer hose is needed,
a 10-foot-long hose may be purchased from an
authorized GE Appliances dealer. The 10-foot-long
hose is part number
GPF10S
.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for drain
issues.
Make sure the drain hose connection is leak-free and
the hose is routed through the strain relief so it will not
kink when the dishwasher is installed into the cabinet.

STEP 5 INSTALL POWER CORD
Skip this step if the dishwasher will be permanently
connected to the house electrical system or has a
factory-installed power cord.
• In this step you will need the junction box cover and
the #10 x 1/2” hex-head screw from the screw kit set
aside in Step 1.
• The power cord and connections must comply with
the National Electrical Code, Section 422 and/or local
codes and ordinances. Maximum power cord length is
6 feet. Power Cord Kit WX09X70910 or WX09X70911,
available for purchase from an authorized
GE Appliances dealer, meets these requirements.
• Install strain relief in the junction box bracket.
• Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten.
• Make sure black, white and green dishwasher wires are
threaded through the small hole in the junction box bracket.
• Connect power cord white (or ribbed) to dishwasher
white, black (or smooth) to dishwasher black and
ground to dishwasher green wire. Use UL-listed wire
nuts of appropriate size.
• Install junction box cover using the #10 hex-head
screw. Be sure wires are not pinched under the cover.
STEP 6 INSTALL 90° ELBOW
• Ensure rubber gasket is located between valve and
elbow.
• Thead the 90° elbow
onto the water valve.
• Do not over tighten
the elbow; water valve
bracket could bend or
the valve fitting could
break.
• Position the end of the
elbow to face the rear
of the dishwasher.
