I'll be installing an 800 series in a few days and was a bit flummoxed by the instructions. They seemed a lot hard than I thought they would. Your video helped me understand those instructions a lot more. Thanks!
Good job young man . I think it has to be remembered by others that any video of this nature Is sooo much more helpful than reading a pdf . And when things are not 100% correct .. that is just the real world. Very helpful . Thank you for posting
Hey thank you! Glad it was helpful and I agree that’s the point of this… just a video guide to get dishwasher installed without breaking out the manual. I’m not a professional handyman, just a guy who needed to replace his dishwasher. 😂 Have a great evening!
Ill put a little lube on the adjustable feet so they turn easier.. I fought that with my old DW.. Nice video, Ill watch it when my new DW gets delivered.
I saw a video from Bosch that recommended using Auto for best results. So I just use Auto on the wash option, and if you have the 500 I also enable Auto Air which allows the door to pop open to vent after it finishes running.
If you research that hardwire junction box kit that you have used you will find several occasions were the wiring and terminals have melted inside that box. Best to add single receptacle and use the supplied plug. My two cents…
Thanks for sharing. I looked into it a bit, and it sounds like a poor design on Bosch’s end, but from what I found the best way to prevent if you did use this junction box is to ensure the connection is very tight on those screws.
@@skylermccrary Personally I don’t feel comfortable using their hardwire kit. I will just add a receptacle and use their supplied plug. I would monitor that junction box, again my two cents.
Thanks for sharing, I will keep an eye on it. I would even consider switching to the supplied power cable based on your warning and the pics I saw online, but I threw it away already -_-
@@skylermccraryBosch also notes that the junction box is not to be secured directly behind the dishwasher. Their installation guide notes it is to be off to the side. Obviously, if you didn’t have room for it elsewhere, you didn’t have room.
Tilt it up almost on its face (have someone hold it on the other side). Once it was tipped up and I could get a near straight down angle on it, I was able to get it straight on.
I guess that junction box is something new? did it come with the dishwasher or was that a special order, they must realized to have to put an outlet could be a problem,
It comes with a regular outlet out of the box, but when purchasing they ask if you want to buy the optional junction box. I opted for it because my house already had the electric line ran to the dishwasher and a dedicated breaker for it that I didn’t want to leave unused. So you can do either way with these models.
you aint lyin about that 3/4 hose adapter being finicky. took me a dozen tries before it seated right. thought for sure I was going to muck up the threads. why can't manufacturers leave connections alone? Or at the very least put a brass thread connection on the back instead of plastic. I don't know what I would done if I ruined the connection in the back, doesn't look replaceable.

Hey Sky,
Thank you.
Does it make sense to secure a Bosch with BOTH the alternate side mount and top mount?
Suggest you turn on water to check for leaks PRIOR to pushing dishwasher in place.
Bosch recommends installing the junction box in a side cabinet not directly behind the dishwasher.
Thanks Dawg
You should a level when you are adjusting the feet.
Thanks
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped 🙂
Good. Would appreciate further demo on how to select different wash and dry cycles...soooo many buttons.....

Junction box, receptacle, and cover plate is quick, easy, and cheap. Installed a box with a GFCI for safety.
How’d you resolve the cross thread issue on the water supply connection on the back of the dishwasher?

@@skylermccrary Thank you for the info, same here, glad I found your video, that was my thought I am going to have to put in a receptacle
You don’t need tape,there’s an O-ring in there that you might damage if you tighten it too tight though,a Common mistake
came here to say this. The tape can actually cause issues with the O-ring
Is the line under the handle protective plastic that needs to be peeled off? I’m noticing it on mine
Yep!
@@skylermccrary thanks! Had it for a few months and just noticed when a spot started to peel on the side
My bosch dishwasher came with an aqua stop. How do you remove it to use the regular 3/8 water line? Anyone know? Thank you so much
I ended up cutting a 2x3” hole in cabinet wall and used what Bosch supplied. multi-tool made it quick and easy
You only use Teflon tape on NPT threads, no reason to use it where you did.
Good to know, thanks.

yes, such a bad design. You can make your whole machine unusable because of these super easy to strip threads. Very easy fail point during install.
how did you remove drain plug from garbage disposal

@@skylermccrary and 100% reason to remember the name 🔥
The instructions literally say don't use teflon tape lmao
I didn’t tell anyone to do it I just did it 😂😬
And not a level in sight.
Please work on your camera skills.
No air gap?
