Step 16: Wet testing the dishwasher

1

Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet, if equipped).

2

Turn on your dishwasher (refer to the 

User Guide

 for instructions).

3

Close the door, select the Rinse only cycle, and press 

START/Cancel

.

4

Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water and 
power are turned on.

5

Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn the power supply off, then tighten connections. Restore 
power after the leak is corrected.

6

Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent 
cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary. See “Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop on page 
16
” on page 16.

7

When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines. If leaks are found, turn power off at the breaker and correct 
plumbing as necessary.

8

Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 12: Connecting the water supply line on page 19” on page 19.

9

Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water has drained. If not, check that the disposer plug has 
been removed and/or the air gap is not plugged. See “Step 13: Connecting the drain hose on page 19” on page 19. Also 
check the drain line for kinking.

10

Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.

Step 17: Replacing the toekick

• Place the toekick against the legs of the dishwasher. The slots should align with the toekick bracket screw holes. Allow 

the toekick to touch the floor. Install the toekick screws.

Note:

 Make sure that you install the toekick in the correct direction. The toekick should be aligned correctly with the junction box.

You’ll need:

Phillips screwdriver
