    Thank you so much!!! I am a single woman who I watches lots of home improvement shows and thought I can do this. Well the dishwasher was delivered and then the insanity began! I read the directions 10 times and still could not figure it out and was kicking myself for not hiring someone to come install it. I was frustrated and near tears when I found this video. After watching it I know exactly what to do and had it installed and running in no time. Thank you so much!!!

    To make it easier to slide the DW in with the insulation, you can use packaging tape to secure the insulation to the DW - it also prevents it from bunching up.

    Top tip:
    Use the cardboard that came with the box on the top to help slide everything in place, once it's in you can remove the card and the insulation shouldn't bunch up as much if at all.

    • @HemanLee
      @HemanLee 5 лет назад +1

      I paid $100 and they were not able to install the DW because the old unit was directly wired to Romex cable. I ask them what I was paying then the $100 for, they said they can only plug it in to an outlet. I ended up doing it myself. Home Depot should know that most of the home built prior to 90's where done this way.

    One of the best DIY removal/install videos of a dishwasher I have seen. The only thing I see missing in this tutorial, that is quite important, is the "leveling" process of the dishwasher once it is in place. Other than that, great video.

    • @HsingSun
      @HsingSun 6 лет назад +1

      Yes, it needs leveling the dishwasher. I installed once four years ago.

    • @steelforbrains

  • @nathanwyatt8939
    @nathanwyatt8939 10 лет назад +2

    I just installed the exact same dishwasher and 1 thing that got missed is that when putting in the small metal clips that get screwed into the counter top, you must bend the ends of the clips that go into the frame downward so they are secure before you push the dishwasher into the hole and screw it to the counter top. If you noticed, one of his clips popped out at 19:06 because the ends weren't bent downward. I bent mine downward with a pair of needle nose pliers. The manufacturers instructions clearly explain this. This was a very helpful video!

  • @kevinbarhydt7741
    @kevinbarhydt7741 10 лет назад +7

    Hardest thing was putting the wiring back. The ground was so stiff and it took awhile, but once it was all together it shoved in fine. The darn electrical box was also hard to unscrew, since the manufacturer had decided to make the screw about 1/4 inch higher than the bottom of the dishwasher door, but I used a wrench and got it off. The rest worked like a charm.
    I honestly cannot thank you enough for this great video. My 14 year old son and I just replaced an old dishwasher at our rental property in about 1.5 hours. Could not have done it without your help. Great video, and also found a lot of extra tips in the comments.

    Great Tutorial, helped me get a better idea of what I have to do. I have a quick tip so when you put dishwasher back in, and you're having trouble keeping the insulation/sound proofing from bunching up. Get some cardboard and lay it on top of the insulation layer and leave a little lip so you can pull it out after you get it snug in there. Cheers!!!

    Fantastic instructions. In two days a new Kitchenaid dishwasher is being delivered and I will remove my 26 yr old and still working Kitchenaid washer and install the new one. Your video makes it very easy to do the job and I will save $129. My original washer was installed with a copper line, should I use that one again or put a braided line like you did. I plan to reuse the old electric wire. Thank you so much for such a clear and easy to understand video.

I did replace the copper water line with the braided only for the ease of installation, but the package says it should be replaced every 5 years to avoid the hose to leak. Copper lasts a lifetime.

    Your microwave videos helped me a ton and I installed it perfectly! Tomorrow I install my new dishwasher, using your video! Hell yeah man, thanks.
