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 6.
• 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.
STEP 19
STEP 18
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 part number
WX09X70910
or
WX09X70911
and refer to the included
instructions.
If house wiring is not 2-wire with ground, a ground
must be provided by the installer. When house wiring
is aluminum, be sure to use UL-Listed anti-oxidant
compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.
