STEP16: WET TESTING THE DISHWASHER
1. Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet.)
2. Select rinse cycle on dishwasher (refer to the User Guide for instructions).
3. Press START/CANCEL and close door.
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. Then
repeat test, starting at step 1.
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 11: Position the Dishwasher Under the Countertop”on
page 25.
7. When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines for leaks. If leaks are
found, turn power off power supply and correct plumbing as necessary.
8. Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 13: Connecting the
Water Supply Line” on page 28.
9. Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and
correct if required.
10. 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
restricted. See “Step 14: Connecting the Drain Hose” on page 29. Also check
the drain line for kinking.*
*When checking for water, there should be no standing water in the bottom of the
tub, but there will be water in the sump system underneath the filter. This is normal and
is to keep the seals and system from drying out and causing leaks. The water that is
left in the sump is clean water that has not been used to clean dishes.

STEP 15: PERFORMING A PRE-TEST CHECK
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid problems or charges for a
service call not covered by your warranty.
• Make sure that power is turned OFF.
• Make sure all foam and paper packaging is removed.
• Locate the User Guide in the literature package.
• Read the User Guide for operating instructions.
• Check the door opening and closing. If the door does not open and close freely,
or tends to fall open, check the spring adjustments. See “Step 2: Check the door
balance” on page 15.
• Make sure that the wiring is secure under the dishwasher and not pinched or
in contact with door springs or other components. See “Step 11: Position the
dishwasher under the countertop” on page 25.
• Check the door alignment with the tub. If the door hits the tub, level the
dishwasher. See “Step 8: Level the dishwasher” on page 22.
• Check the door alignment with the cabinet. If the door hits the cabinet, reposition
or relevel the dishwasher. See “Step 8: Level the dishwasher” on page 22.
• Pull the lower rack out about half way. Make sure that it does not roll back or
forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust the leveling legs. See “Step 8:
Level the dishwasher” on page 22.
• Make sure that water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with
other components. Any contact with the motor or dishwasher frame could cause
a noise. “See Step 10: Slide the dishwasher partially into the cabinet” on page
25.
• Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify the water temperature. Incoming
water temperature must be between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F
temperature is required for best wash performance. See “Preparing the hot water
line” on page 10.
• Add a half gallon of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to lubricate the pump
seal.
• Turn on the water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed.
• Remove any protective film (if present) from the control panel and door.
