Good grief, I sure wish I had seen this video prior to ordering all the other fittings and shutoff valves today. 21:13 is quite the sight, so sleek and simple, quite nice indeed. Double water shutoff valves, and their 1/4 turn, hot.dog!
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on any home improvement video. Jeff does not take anything for granted. He is a natural teacher. He explains everything. I am a very experienced home improver, but enjoyed the things that he taught me. He just doesn’t talk about how to do things, he takes his time to show you how to do it and he even shows you several ways to do them. Jeff is my go to guy, I hope to see all his videos if they are as good as this!!!!
Very informative. I was second guessing hot tight to tighten the water supply line, and you took the time to explain why a half a turn past hand tight is all it needs, thank you!
Honestly, I used to do installs for Lowe's and every dishwasher I've installed was attached either at the top or side mounted. Good that you pointed out checking the plug on garbage disposal. 99% of customers that bought a new dishwasher because the old one wasn't draining. They hired another plumbing company to install a new garbage disposal and they forgot to knock out the plug. That's a costly mistake. 1. The water damage it causes from the dishwasher overflowing and 2. The cost of a $400+ dishwasher that they really didn't need. Btw, I wish all dishwashers install had wall outlets, 90% of the ones I've installed was hard wired 😅 Another GREAT VID Jeff!!!
Thanks! Wow, funny how you only see the hardwired, but we only see outlets down here. Maybe it's the age of the houses. You could put in a blue remodel outlet box you know, would they allow you to do that?

Thank you so much. We're remodeling our house and moving our dishwasher from against the wall into a new island. You answered several questions I had all in this one video.
Thanks Jeff. I had new dishwasher installed by Big Box and they did not put discharge hose up and the front cover plate was not screwed on. real issue was the old washer used 220 so had 2 110 lines in to it they hooked it up like that and keep tripping breaker, that's how they left it with my wife. He couldn't just remove one line to have it running.
Hi Jeff, this video is very informative. Code standards and installation. I have a few questions regarding your instructions: *During the electrical plug installation you made a very important point about the rough metal circle needing a buffer so that the wire didn't get frayed. This made perfect sense. So when we came to in the video I wondered if the same would apply to the edges of the circle cut out which leads to the water and electrical hook-ups in the next cabinet. * The water hose (because it is constantly pulsing high pressure water) couldn't this hose get cut in to after time? *The electrical plug in, same thing * Last is about the safety of threading the water hose, the electrical plug in and the water supply hose all together. I guess because I was always told water and electricity don't mix. Thank you again I hope you will be able to answer my questions 😊
You could run them through their own hole, i t doe snot mater. The big drain hose is never under pressure so it won't pulsate. The smaller supply hose is under pressure but typically is a steel belted hose so it won't keep shape changing on you. The difference from 2:00 in the video is the sharp edges of metal cutting the cord. The wood is not considered a sharp edge that would cut the cable.
Jeff, Please respone to this statement I found online. - "The door of the dishwasher is typically not flush with the cabinets, says Home Arise, but instead it protrudes out from the face of the cabinets about an inch or more. This is so that the dishwasher doesn't vent steam inside the cabinets when it's in dry mode. In addition, if the dishwasher is too far back inside the cabinets, the front lip of the face frame interferes with the top of the door. Therefore, the correct positioning is to set the front of the dishwasher - not the door - flush with the front of the cabinets. The door protrudes just enough so that the contact point between the door and the front of the dishwasher is visible."
That does have some sense to it but I would also make sure you followed the guidelines of what the manufacturer tells you because their design of their dishwasher might be different maybe it's venting out the bottom. Also when the dishwasher door is closed it's sealed with a rubber gasket so I'm not sure where all this steam is coming from that they're talking about
@@jeffostroff Thank you for your quick reply! I will check the manual and hopefully it will be as helpful as your well made videos. Most new appliances have skimpy information and refer to an online version.
Excellent video! Glad that somebody is calling out these so called installers from Best buy, Home Depot and Lowe's, I prefer to do installations myself at 70 years old I can still do a job in a professional manner as to avoid headaches due to improper installations. Last install (a dishwasher) was from Best Buy and let me tell you I gave them an ear full. Totally unprofessional, messes everywhere, you could hardly walk in the kitchen, would not touch the water shutoff valve due to a light surface oxidation, not rust just a light faint layer of oxidation. Took me 30 seconds to disconnected the old hose and connect the new one, 30 seconds flat, not bad of a 70 year old, HEY? Yeah due to liability concerns. If you expect to find shiny shutoff valves to do a job, you will be disappointed. Oxidation is a natural occurring process on metal when is exposed to humidity as in a dishwasher cabinet, and any house that is a few years old will have this issue. The degree of oxidation will determine if you need to replace that valve, in this case it was just a very light layer of surface oxidation, I wiped it off and connected the new water hose in 30 seconds flat. The guys left w/o saying thank you, ended up getting a refund and I have not hired these so called installers again. The few things they did, I had to re-do because the hoses were leaking, looked like a waterfall inside the cabinet, I told them to go home to their daddy and mommy and did the job myself, these guys messed around for 2 hours and could not get the job done correctly. Shame, shame! Oh well save me 180 bucks!
Great video! a couple of questions, do all dish washers only have one water connection? To the hot water, and my garbage disposal does have a plug, how do I take that off for the drain, thanks again for this great video!
Great video Jeff! Everything was explained well and was very informative! I just recently installed a new control board for my dishwasher because the old one did not give me the green light. Now, the dishwasher is working perfectly, the only issue I have is securing it to the counter again. I misplaced the screws and I'm not sure exactly what size they were. We have a quartz countertop and I remembered seeing in your video that installers will sometimes mount a metal bar underneath. I see the metal bar and the brackets I am just not sure on the screw size. Or will it be more secure if I mount it on the sides as you did? I think you said number 10? Thank you I am now a subscriber! Outstanding video!
Yes, predrill with a 1/16" drill bit about 1/4" in if you use the side mount method. But you should be able to locate and re-use the previous holes in your counter.
Great video Jeff. Thanks especially for the explanation on the air gap. I bought one for my new faucet thinking I needed it or that it might be a benefit. I am sending it back. As you are aware, I live in So Fl so not needed by code either.
Thanks so much for these videos! I watched an older one you did on dishwasher installation last night and just installed my first dishwasher here at my house today. Used the conduit clamps to get the high loop in the drain line. Really appreciate the vids. Gave me the confidence and the know how to do the job!!
No, I prefer to punch out the dishwasher plug before installing, but one time my friend installed it and forgot to punch out the dishwasher plug. So we reached up and jammed a screwdriver in the side of the disposal until we detached it.
Hey, I recently purchased a Maytag dishwasher and it has screws in the electric box. The side that I have to hook up my own electric connection also has screws, so I am assuming that I need a wire that has those circular brackets. Is it just safe to wrap my hardwire’s tips around the screws?
Thanks for the video Jeff. I bought a new KitchenAid dishwasher and the kit I bought with the water hose and electrical is too short. The drain hose that came with the dishwasher is too short Also. The drain hose that came with the dishwasher has an angled connection at the machine and a straight connection on the other end. Can I add an extension to the drain or should I buy the rubber hose at Lowes and cut it to length? I will have to order a long water supply hose because the stores here don't stock it.
Wow how far are you from the water supply? I have never seen a dishwasher hose not make it. But yes I would make it one hose end to end, not comfortable making another connection that can leak.
@@jeffostroff The old dishwasher I pulled out had the electrical and the drain spliced. I would need anywhere between 10-12 feet of drain hose and about 10 feet of water line. The old water supply line was copper tubing that I have already trashed. The copper was connected to a 3/8" quarter turn valve under the sink. I don't want to use copper again. I can order a longer 3/8" braided water hose but it will take two days to get it here from Amazon. Lowes has the EZ-FLO rubber dishwasher drain hose in 10 foot length. My concern is that the KitchenAid drain has an angled connector at the machine end of the drain hose and any replacement would not have this angle.
Thanks for the great video. Does the high loop only apply when attached to a garbage disposal? We if there's no disposal? Do you still need a high loop? Thanks.
I had a new Bosch installed this week. I notice under my sink it gets really hot now towards the end of the dishwasher cycle. Never had this issue with the last dishwasher. I’m wondering about the water line …I can’t remember what material the last water line was …this one looks like white plastic. I wonder if need to get something better.
White ribbed plastic is the drain hose, normal, about 1" diameter, runs from dishwasher, through hole, to the garbage disposal. But your water supply line form the shutoff valve under the sink going to the dishwasher should be steel belted hose. The white ribbed drain hose from the dishwasher only gets a little warm when the dishwasher empties a few times during the cycle. IT should not make the inside of the cabinet hot. It is not leaking is it? Any water or steam in the cabinet during the cycles?
@@jeffostroff No..no steam. Last night I ran it on Auto cycle and it ran a long time. Tonight I ran it on Normal cycle and that seemed to be a shorter cycle and not nearly as warm under the sink. I can still feel heat coming off the plastic line but not like yesterday. I guess some heat is to be expected ???? Just never noticed before.

Hey there. I'm getting a new dishwasher installed and the installer mentioned GFCI. I believe my dishwasher is hardwired and it has a countertop switch to turn it on and off. Do I need a GFCI receptacle? I'm clueless so sorry for my lack of knowledge. Thank you!
If yours is hardwired then you might consider adding an outlet box into the wall there and installing the GFCI. OR...some people just have the breaker in the electrical panel as a GFCI breaker.
@@jeffostroff Thank you for the quick reply! So what are the chances my breaker in the panel is GFCI? If there is an easy way to check I'd greatly appreciate it
@@SwervinSpliffs27 go downstairs and look at your panel, a gfci breaker will look different than all your other breakers. It will have a test and reset button on it.
Jeff , again thanks for the video. But I do have a question: why are all the drain hoses that I have seen for dishwashers corrugated and not smooth like other hoses?
You called it Jeff. I remember when a new dishwasher was installed at my father's home the guys contracted by the big box store rushed through the install - unit was not flush or level. The discharge hose is lying on the floor and has to be replaced and properly reinstalled. They didn't seem to care if they did a good job or not, they just wanted to get out. The attitude they displayed was "unprofessional" at best.
My cupboard has an existing drainage tube hole in near the top of the cabinet - the hose came up, through the hole and down to drain where it was clamped. The hole supported the high loop- can this be an issue? I’m installing a new dishwasher and it’s also suggests putting all 3 hoses/electrical through the bottoms hole
I am not a fan with the way the instructions on the dishwasher show Routing the hose. Once I get it into the bottom of the cabinet I still like to run it straight up the wall towards the counter top and then curve it back around and it should come downward toward the garbage disposal port where it plugs in .
Help! I may be attempting this myself, but where do you connect the drain hose to if you do not have a garbage disposal? And shouId I still bend the hose up as high as possible to the counter top before connection?
You need the 1-1/2 in. x 8 in. Plastic Dishwasher Branch Tailpiece www.homedepot.com/p/KEENEY-1-1-2-in-x-8-in-Plastic-Dishwasher-Branch-Tailpiece-PP931-8PVC/304826866
On your previous video I noticed you drill two holes one for the plug it’s self and another for water and drain and in this video you did only one hole does it matter if it’s two holes or one what do you recommend??
Some people think you need to separate them into 2 holes. May last install a few weeks a go we did one hole. It depends on the space in the back behind the dishwasher, and how high the bottom of the inside cabinet is off the floor, and whether you'll have room to drill 2 holes. Always best to do what the manufacturer says
Hi Jeff, What are your thoughts on building a trim piece about 1.25" x 24" wide to go above the dishwasher and for appearance only? I have done this in the past. But is the regular way to do this, is to raise the front feet up to close the gap between the top of the Dishwasher and the bottom of the countertop? The countertop is a "formica" type of surface with particle board below that. The total gap above the DW is about 1.5" tall. Thanks, Jim
I would use matching wood from the cabinet maker for this. Ot, try putting plasti shims under the dishwasher feet if you can't get the feet to rais eup the dishwasher to meet the counter
Jeff thanks so much, I actually did use the same wood. It is very thin maybe 1/8" so just now I glued another 1/4" behind it. It is flimsy and additionally I was thinking to secure another piece to this trim so that it looks like a "L" shape and then push it up into place and use screws to secure horizontal piece to the underside of the counter top. I do not know if I can join a right angle piece to the flat trim piece to make all of this happen?
The Screws of the Romex connector belong on the OUTSIDE of the connection box! They are sharp and can cause damage to the wires. Code requires them to be accessible "without removing the covers of the box, fitting, or cabinet". • 6 inches of the flexible cord or any other cable "shall be removed to allow 6 inches of free wire" within any box..." • Under the sink: There should be 2, SINGLE outlets for the disposer and the dishwasher, not 2 duplex outlets. • I love the paper-towel stuffed in the extra drain pipe, how about removing the elbow and capping it off with a clean-out plug?
LOL, you are blind as a bat! You did not see at 2:24 I used FLAT tipped screws, specifically designed to be safe for wires, like flat tipped Eaton screws used to secure electrical breaker panel covers to walls. And you look at those screws and say they are sharp? Time for glasses. You know how to ramble off NEC code about outlets under sinks. But you are wrong, it's only on new construction. This is an existing kitchen and they don't have to be changed to newer codes unless you open up the wall. As for paper towel, that was temporary until we were finished. The old pipe coming out of the wall was cut a few inches off the wall, and capped off.
@@jeffostroff Sure, and the opposite ends of the screws are still a sharp edge. They are still supposed to be OUTSIDE the wiring compartment no matter what the screws are. Call me as many names as you want and be as rude as you want, a sure sign of a guy that already know he's out of ammunition, but that will not make you right. The code is also clear; you have to bring it to current code when changing the appliance. Opening the wall is not a requirement. It's considered a new installation, no different than if you had started from scratch. It's not grandfathered. If you took it out to repair a burst pipe, then it's a re-install and it IS grandfathered. Some inspectors will let it go, some ....well, not so much. Been doing this for 45+ years, how about you? I hold licencure in Electrical, Plumbing, and Facilities Management (Degree'd from an Ivy league school) and have EPA certification for refrigeration... And you?
Relatively new to your channel, and I have enjoyed much of your content. I just bought/installed a brand new whirlpool dishwasher much like the one in this video. The only snag I am experiencing is the door on the left hand side seems to creak when it reaches its lowest point and wants to bounce back up a little. Could this mean that spring needs adjusted?
I have never had to adjust the tension in the springs but the owners manual tells you how to do it. They tell you whether or not you need to adjust it also.
I just installed the same (or very similar) model dishwasher, but was confused as to the writing on the side of the dishwasher beside the drain hose, where it states: do not remove hose. Well, the drain hose is all curled up on the side of the dishwasher in a curly-q pattern attached into bracket/clips made of plastic embedded into the side panel.... but it seems like installation videos I watch show the drain hose going straight out the bottom of the dishwasher... hunh?? seems like the instructions are not very clear all the time.
I wish I has gotten a photo of what my granite guys did. On another installation they embedded wood into the front edge of the granite underneath , where the dishwasher can mount 2 screws just like you have a wood cabinet. Another time they cemented on a thin bracket 24" x 2" or so to the bottom of the granite counter, with tons of holes in it, and your screws just fit into and grab one of the holes in the bracket. Other than that, you just screw into the side of the cabinet like we show, but remember the cabinet is usually 1/2" or more thick, so use a screw no more than 1/2" thick, or you'll poke through to the inside of the cabinet with the screw.
Yes, they have a steel bracket that attaches to each side of the cabinets. Check this out: Dishwasher Bracket GMC Supplies www.amazon.com/dp/B006ODLDY4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_IyaUEbJECGYD5
Some dishwashers don't have side mount available. Many times you can drill the machine on the dry side of the door gasket, but not always. If you're the daring type, you can drill the bottom of the countertop and epoxy in a pair of "Tee Nuts" with the teeth cut off. Super slick way to do it for sure. Just do NOT use the hammer function on your drill that close to the edge of the counter. Many Countertop guys will do this for you cheaply, especially if you catch them while they are there on new installs. Just be sure to mark them EXACTLY, and double check before you epoxy the tee's in.!! One shot deal there!
I just installed this exact model dishwasher, but it's leaking from the bottom of the door. Not from any of the pipes or tubing. Seems like it's probably a leveling issue, which I found odd but is there something else that could possibly be causing it, I don't have a small enough level right now I have to get one.
Check the rubber gasket seal and make sure that there's not any gaps in it because even if it's not leveled this should not leak if you have a good seal around the door period
I watched this hoping I would find out how to feed power to code. It looks like power came in from a receptacle? Not wired directly. But a plug would have to be attached to the end of the cable that was wired to the dishwasher?
Yes, Paul, typically we use this Whirlpool 3-Prong Dishwasher Power Cord Kit: amzn.to/2XysrYO. Most kitchens have the dishwasher and garbage disposal split on a n outlet under the sink.
As of 2020, you need a GFCI outlet or circuit. I didn't see one on your installation... unless its in the fuse panel. 2020 Code Language N 210.8(D) Specific Appliances. Unless GFCI protection is provided in accordance with 422.5(B)(3) through (B)(5), the outlets supplying the appliances specified in 422.5(A) shall have GFCI protection in accordance with 422.5(B)(1) or (B)(2).
This is Great, I'm here before the Live Stream even starts !!! All of Jeff's followers who are here before him should win a FRREEE Sticker or magnet !!! I mean some small token . We are such loyal fans !!!! : ))
2020 NEC requires GFCI protection for all electrical receptacles within 6 feet of a sink. No longer any language that exempt those behind a [cabinet] door. If this is a new build you need a GFCI outlet or breaker
It should be noted that a dishwasher pulling power from a circuit that has a gfci outlet on it should also be protected by that outlet. So it should not be hard.
Aren't the washer supposed to be one inch out and not flush with cabinet? Other site say that's the way or isbthis just your preference. Guess there's different styles?
I love that quote, "Unqualified Professionals". An Unqualified Professional National Builder hired a bunch of unqualified professionals to build my brand new fixer-upper house 🏠. 😆
Why didn't you get the height and level adjustment of the dishwasher before you put through the lines (that way you're able to pull it in and out to check without the lines being already connected
The dishwasher manufacturers will not allow hat, there is no clearance in the back up top to fit any hoses. They all have to fit under the dishwasher, so you have a 7" max height off the floor for your drill holes.
@@jeffostroff I also have a dishwasher that they installed the drain hose coming into the top of the cabinet, then it loops down to the bottom of the cabinet, then up to the disposal. I've had some water leak issues, I think this might be the problem. I already changed the water supply line. It leaked water when I was away for the weekend all over my floor, but I didn't run the unit before leaving. Any thoughts Jeff?
@@blueswitch88 What they did sounds like a normal high side loop to me which is the way it should be done I would have to see pictures and I need to know exactly where you're leak is coming from Maybe you could shoot a video and upload it
Oh the biggest mistake is the open drain pipe under the sink with a rag in it, and he forgot to mention when you punch out the knock out in the disposal to get that knock out from inside your disposal, remember not everyone on you tube knows what they are doing
Another idiotic attempt to discredit. I also did not tell people to throw out the cardboard box afterward too. The open drain under the sink with the rag in it is from an old unused drain line that was later cut off and capped up. Trying to make this look wrong so you can feel good about yourself, and discredit the experts just make you look a lot less knowledgeable. and now everyone knows you are full of hot air and no substance. Nice try.
This guy isn't a professional at all first off I seen copper outside of the wire nut, second the hose clamp on the drain coming off the pump was not in the proper position which could cause it to leak later on third a real plumber drills a drain hole through the cabinet right below the counter top so that you don't have the drain hose under the cabinet getting in the way

Shame, shame! Oh well save me 180 bucks!
Said the word "here" quite a few times, my friend. Thanks for the tutorial!
Great video! a couple of questions, do all dish washers only have one water connection? To the hot water, and my garbage disposal does have a plug, how do I take that off for the drain, thanks again for this great video!
Great video, would you recommend adding tile behind the dishwasher for safety? Thanks
Great video Jeff! Everything was explained well and was very informative! I just recently installed a new control board for my dishwasher because the old one did not give me the green light. Now, the dishwasher is working perfectly, the only issue I have is securing it to the counter again. I misplaced the screws and I'm not sure exactly what size they were. We have a quartz countertop and I remembered seeing in your video that installers will sometimes mount a metal bar underneath. I see the metal bar and the brackets I am just not sure on the screw size. Or will it be more secure if I mount it on the sides as you did? I think you said number 10? Thank you I am now a subscriber! Outstanding video!
Yes, predrill with a 1/16" drill bit about 1/4" in if you use the side mount method. But you should be able to locate and re-use the previous holes in your counter.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am getting ready to install a new kitchen and this really helps!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Jeff. Thanks especially for the explanation on the air gap. I bought one for my new faucet thinking I needed it or that it might be a benefit. I am sending it back. As you are aware, I live in So Fl so not needed by code either.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for these videos! I watched an older one you did on dishwasher installation last night and just installed my first dishwasher here at my house today. Used the conduit clamps to get the high loop in the drain line. Really appreciate the vids. Gave me the confidence and the know how to do the job!!
Glad I could help! congrats on doing all that to code Nathan!
Holy cow I was just watching this dude's videos on the Titan submersible and now I'm watching him install a dishwasher. 😅
Thanks, Jeff! I just installed my dishwasher myself.
Nice job Laura!
JEFF, DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE DISPOSABLE OFF TO PUNCH OUT
THE PLUG? THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEOS.
No, I prefer to punch out the dishwasher plug before installing, but one time my friend installed it and forgot to punch out the dishwasher plug. So we reached up and jammed a screwdriver in the side of the disposal until we detached it.
Hey,
I recently purchased a Maytag dishwasher and it has screws in the electric box. The side that I have to hook up my own electric connection also has screws, so I am assuming that I need a wire that has those circular brackets. Is it just safe to wrap my hardwire’s tips around the screws?
Great video. I feel pretty confident I can do this now. Thanks
Thanks for the video Jeff. I bought a new KitchenAid dishwasher and the kit I bought with the water hose and electrical is too short. The drain hose that came with the dishwasher is too short Also. The drain hose that came with the dishwasher has an angled connection at the machine and a straight connection on the other end. Can I add an extension to the drain or should I buy the rubber hose at Lowes and cut it to length? I will have to order a long water supply hose because the stores here don't stock it.
Wow how far are you from the water supply? I have never seen a dishwasher hose not make it. But yes I would make it one hose end to end, not comfortable making another connection that can leak.
@@jeffostroff The old dishwasher I pulled out had the electrical and the drain spliced. I would need anywhere between 10-12 feet of drain hose and about 10 feet of water line. The old water supply line was copper tubing that I have already trashed. The copper was connected to a 3/8" quarter turn valve under the sink. I don't want to use copper again. I can order a longer 3/8" braided water hose but it will take two days to get it here from Amazon. Lowes has the EZ-FLO rubber dishwasher drain hose in 10 foot length. My concern is that the KitchenAid drain has an angled connector at the machine end of the drain hose and any replacement would not have this angle.
Good video I'm getting a dish washer for my b day and I get to installed my self 😎👍
Cool 👍
Thanks for the great video. Does the high loop only apply when attached to a garbage disposal? We if there's no disposal? Do you still need a high loop? Thanks.
Yes you still need the high loop, it helps prevent a backup into the dishwasher
Best video so far! Thanks
Glad you liked it Roy!
I had a new Bosch installed this week. I notice under my sink it gets really hot now towards the end of the dishwasher cycle. Never had this issue with the last dishwasher. I’m wondering about the water line …I can’t remember what material the last water line was …this one looks like white plastic. I wonder if need to get something better.
White ribbed plastic is the drain hose, normal, about 1" diameter, runs from dishwasher, through hole, to the garbage disposal. But your water supply line form the shutoff valve under the sink going to the dishwasher should be steel belted hose. The white ribbed drain hose from the dishwasher only gets a little warm when the dishwasher empties a few times during the cycle. IT should not make the inside of the cabinet hot. It is not leaking is it? Any water or steam in the cabinet during the cycles?
@@jeffostroff No..no steam. Last night I ran it on Auto cycle and it ran a long time. Tonight I ran it on Normal cycle and that seemed to be a shorter cycle and not nearly as warm under the sink. I can still feel heat coming off the plastic line but not like yesterday. I guess some heat is to be expected ???? Just never noticed before.
How do you adjust the back foot/feet?

I laughed so hard when you said you don't use Lowe's or Home Depot because you want it done right. That's the reason I install my own dishwashers.
Great minds think alike
Hey there. I'm getting a new dishwasher installed and the installer mentioned GFCI. I believe my dishwasher is hardwired and it has a countertop switch to turn it on and off. Do I need a GFCI receptacle? I'm clueless so sorry for my lack of knowledge. Thank you!
If yours is hardwired then you might consider adding an outlet box into the wall there and installing the GFCI. OR...some people just have the breaker in the electrical panel as a GFCI breaker.
@@jeffostroff Thank you for the quick reply! So what are the chances my breaker in the panel is GFCI? If there is an easy way to check I'd greatly appreciate it
@@SwervinSpliffs27 go downstairs and look at your panel, a gfci breaker will look different than all your other breakers. It will have a test and reset button on it.
Jeff , again thanks for the video. But I do have a question: why are all the drain hoses that I have seen for dishwashers corrugated and not smooth like other hoses?
I am in stalling insignia dishwasher that has top control bottons on the door , do i have to keep the door sticking out of the counter top
You called it Jeff. I remember when a new dishwasher was installed at my father's home the guys contracted by the big box store rushed through the install - unit was not flush or level. The discharge hose is lying on the floor and has to be replaced and properly reinstalled. They didn't seem to care if they did a good job or not, they just wanted to get out. The attitude they displayed was "unprofessional" at best.
We are seeing way too much of that attitude lately
When connecting the water line, does it matter which one I connect to meaning the hot or cold
Dishwasher always connects to the hot water supply line
Thank you this was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative Jeff thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Donn!
My cupboard has an existing drainage tube hole in near the top of the cabinet - the hose came up, through the hole and down to drain where it was clamped. The hole supported the high loop- can this be an issue? I’m installing a new dishwasher and it’s also suggests putting all 3 hoses/electrical through the bottoms hole
I am not a fan with the way the instructions on the dishwasher show Routing the hose. Once I get it into the bottom of the cabinet I still like to run it straight up the wall towards the counter top and then curve it back around and it should come downward toward the garbage disposal port where it plugs in .
Help! I may be attempting this myself, but where do you connect the drain hose to if you do not have a garbage disposal? And shouId I still bend the hose up as high as possible to the counter top before connection?

I like the way whirlpool dishwashers install…. Compared the the GE top of door controls…..
On your previous video I noticed you drill two holes one for the plug it’s self and another for water and drain and in this video you did only one hole does it matter if it’s two holes or one what do you recommend??
Some people think you need to separate them into 2 holes. May last install a few weeks a go we did one hole. It depends on the space in the back behind the dishwasher, and how high the bottom of the inside cabinet is off the floor, and whether you'll have room to drill 2 holes. Always best to do what the manufacturer says
Dude that was really helpful, well explained
If I have a cabinet between my dishwasher and the under side of my sink. Should the high loop start under the cabinet or start under the sink?
I would put it under the sink where it is visible.
Thankyou for redoing the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video jeff
Thanks 👍
Hi Jeff,
What are your thoughts on building a trim piece about 1.25" x 24" wide to go above the dishwasher and for appearance only? I have done this in the past. But is the regular way to do this, is to raise the front feet up to close the gap between the top of the Dishwasher and the bottom of the countertop? The countertop is a "formica" type of surface with particle board below that. The total gap above the DW is about 1.5" tall.
Thanks,
Jim
I would use matching wood from the cabinet maker for this. Ot, try putting plasti shims under the dishwasher feet if you can't get the feet to rais eup the dishwasher to meet the counter
Jeff thanks so much, I actually did use the same wood. It is very thin maybe 1/8" so just now I glued another 1/4" behind it. It is flimsy and additionally I was thinking to secure another piece to this trim so that it looks like a "L" shape and then push it up into place and use screws to secure horizontal piece to the underside of the counter top. I do not know if I can join a right angle piece to the flat trim piece to make all of this happen?
Great install. 100% a pro
Thanks 👍 Fox!
The Screws of the Romex connector belong on the OUTSIDE of the connection box! They are sharp and can cause damage to the wires. Code requires them to be accessible "without removing the covers of the box, fitting, or cabinet".
• 6 inches of the flexible cord or any other cable "shall be removed to allow 6 inches of free wire" within any box..."
• Under the sink: There should be 2, SINGLE outlets for the disposer and the dishwasher, not 2 duplex outlets.
• I love the paper-towel stuffed in the extra drain pipe, how about removing the elbow and capping it off with a clean-out plug?
LOL, you are blind as a bat! You did not see at 2:24 I used FLAT tipped screws, specifically designed to be safe for wires, like flat tipped Eaton screws used to secure electrical breaker panel covers to walls. And you look at those screws and say they are sharp? Time for glasses. You know how to ramble off NEC code about outlets under sinks. But you are wrong, it's only on new construction. This is an existing kitchen and they don't have to be changed to newer codes unless you open up the wall. As for paper towel, that was temporary until we were finished. The old pipe coming out of the wall was cut a few inches off the wall, and capped off.
@@jeffostroff Sure, and the opposite ends of the screws are still a sharp edge. They are still supposed to be OUTSIDE the wiring compartment no matter what the screws are. Call me as many names as you want and be as rude as you want, a sure sign of a guy that already know he's out of ammunition, but that will not make you right. The code is also clear; you have to bring it to current code when changing the appliance. Opening the wall is not a requirement. It's considered a new installation, no different than if you had started from scratch. It's not grandfathered. If you took it out to repair a burst pipe, then it's a re-install and it IS grandfathered. Some inspectors will let it go, some ....well, not so much. Been doing this for 45+ years, how about you? I hold licencure in Electrical, Plumbing, and Facilities Management (Degree'd from an Ivy league school) and have EPA certification for refrigeration... And you?
@@johninmilford7719 as soon as I saw him put the strain relief connector in backwards, i knew this guy was clueless, don’t bother trying to sway him.
Awesome video, it's been helpful 😎👍🏽
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Relatively new to your channel, and I have enjoyed much of your content. I just bought/installed a brand new whirlpool dishwasher much like the one in this video. The only snag I am experiencing is the door on the left hand side seems to creak when it reaches its lowest point and wants to bounce back up a little. Could this mean that spring needs adjusted?
I have never had to adjust the tension in the springs but the owners manual tells you how to do it. They tell you whether or not you need to adjust it also.
Perfect video..thanks
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Excellent tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
I just installed the same (or very similar) model dishwasher, but was confused as to the writing on the side of the dishwasher beside the drain hose, where it states: do not remove hose. Well, the drain hose is all curled up on the side of the dishwasher in a curly-q pattern attached into bracket/clips made of plastic embedded into the side panel.... but it seems like installation videos I watch show the drain hose going straight out the bottom of the dishwasher... hunh?? seems like the instructions are not very clear all the time.
very professional thank you
You bet glad to help thanks for watching
Every time you plan to broadcast I have a family activity going on you talked to my wife about this😷🍻🍺
Drag the family along!
Great... something else I have to fix. :)
At least you'll do it like the pros
That’s my problem with my dishwasher installation quartz countertops also have to be installed on the sides. Do they make a fixit bracket?
I wish I has gotten a photo of what my granite guys did. On another installation they embedded wood into the front edge of the granite underneath , where the dishwasher can mount 2 screws just like you have a wood cabinet. Another time they cemented on a thin bracket 24" x 2" or so to the bottom of the granite counter, with tons of holes in it, and your screws just fit into and grab one of the holes in the bracket. Other than that, you just screw into the side of the cabinet like we show, but remember the cabinet is usually 1/2" or more thick, so use a screw no more than 1/2" thick, or you'll poke through to the inside of the cabinet with the screw.
Yes, they have a steel bracket that attaches to each side of the cabinets. Check this out: Dishwasher Bracket GMC Supplies www.amazon.com/dp/B006ODLDY4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_IyaUEbJECGYD5
Some dishwashers don't have side mount available. Many times you can drill the machine on the dry side of the door gasket, but not always. If you're the daring type, you can drill the bottom of the countertop and epoxy in a pair of "Tee Nuts" with the teeth cut off. Super slick way to do it for sure. Just do NOT use the hammer function on your drill that close to the edge of the counter. Many Countertop guys will do this for you cheaply, especially if you catch them while they are there on new installs. Just be sure to mark them EXACTLY, and double check before you epoxy the tee's in.!! One shot deal there!
I use 2 part epoxy for the brackets on the top to bond to the underneath part of granite and it works well
What about back glides how do you adjust them.
You set those ahead of time, but I usually never touch them. I level everything by the front feet.
A great video thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Another great how to vid thanks jeff
Glad you enjoyed it glad you came back for more Randy!
Always a pleasure
Professional video, thanks 🏆
I just installed this exact model dishwasher, but it's leaking from the bottom of the door. Not from any of the pipes or tubing. Seems like it's probably a leveling issue, which I found odd but is there something else that could possibly be causing it, I don't have a small enough level right now I have to get one.
Check the rubber gasket seal and make sure that there's not any gaps in it because even if it's not leveled this should not leak if you have a good seal around the door period
I need you to help me my house is 110 years old . I want to get two sets of blinds for outdoors windows. What the best ones to purchase. Janineford
Guy I know owns a company that installs all sorts of motorized and regular window shades. He likes LUTRON & HUNTER DOUGLAS.
I watched this hoping I would find out how to feed power to code. It looks like power came in from a receptacle? Not wired directly. But a plug would have to be attached to the end of the cable that was wired to the dishwasher?
Yes, Paul, typically we use this Whirlpool 3-Prong Dishwasher Power Cord Kit: amzn.to/2XysrYO. Most kitchens have the dishwasher and garbage disposal split on a n outlet under the sink.
@@jeffostroff Awww, clears it up. Thank you!
I'm in the UK and we dont have to do half of the stuff you did when we buy a new dishwasher.Power,waste and fill pipes are usually already attached.
Wow. Mine was against code. Thank you for letting me know that.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching too! Did you install it originally or someone else?
As of 2020, you need a GFCI outlet or circuit. I didn't see one on your installation... unless its in the fuse panel.
2020 Code Language
N 210.8(D) Specific Appliances. Unless GFCI protection is provided in accordance with 422.5(B)(3) through (B)(5), the outlets supplying the appliances specified in 422.5(A) shall have GFCI protection in accordance with 422.5(B)(1) or (B)(2).
This is Great, I'm here before the Live Stream even starts !!! All of Jeff's followers who are here before him should win a FRREEE Sticker or magnet !!! I mean some small token . We are such loyal fans !!!! : ))
Yeah man!
2020 NEC requires GFCI protection for all electrical receptacles within 6 feet of a sink. No longer any language that exempt those behind a [cabinet] door. If this is a new build you need a GFCI outlet or breaker
We are putting one in currently on a remodel as we speak.
It should be noted that a dishwasher pulling power from a circuit that has a gfci outlet on it should also be protected by that outlet. So it should not be hard.
Thanks!
Aren't the washer supposed to be one inch out and not flush with cabinet? Other site say that's the way or isbthis just your preference. Guess there's different styles?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
What happens if the controls are on top of the door?
Thank you!!

Litterally the best video explaination of how to do a high loop, def not common sense but you explain it in a way anyone can understand👍
I love that quote, "Unqualified Professionals". An Unqualified Professional National Builder hired a bunch of unqualified professionals to build my brand new fixer-upper house 🏠. 😆
That's what happens all the time here in FL
Water inlet my home 4" ht left side cabinet. Dishwasher wont go over it
That is strange why they would make it that low!
Why didn't you get the height and level adjustment of the dishwasher before you put through the lines (that way you're able to pull it in and out to check without the lines being already connected
Yes you can do that. We followed the steps in order of the instructions
@@jeffostroff haha .. just another reason why I don't like instructions 😅
I always assumed the drain hole was drilled in the cabinet at the top side corner not the bottom corner. Water supply at the bottom corner
The dishwasher manufacturers will not allow hat, there is no clearance in the back up top to fit any hoses. They all have to fit under the dishwasher, so you have a 7" max height off the floor for your drill holes.
@@jeffostroff I also have a dishwasher that they installed the drain hose coming into the top of the cabinet, then it loops down to the bottom of the cabinet, then up to the disposal. I've had some water leak issues, I think this might be the problem. I already changed the water supply line. It leaked water when I was away for the weekend all over my floor, but I didn't run the unit before leaving. Any thoughts Jeff?
@@blueswitch88 What they did sounds like a normal high side loop to me which is the way it should be done I would have to see pictures and I need to know exactly where you're leak is coming from Maybe you could shoot a video and upload it

@@jeffostroff where….here?
😁
Hack on the electrical my man😂
Home Depot and Lowes uses sub contractor plumbers. Not all plumbing contractors Home Depot and Lowes uses do wrong installs.
At least sof ar from what I have seen, it has not been good. Same with their carpeting contractors.
Dude, you’ve put the romex connector in backwards,😆😆😆
nothing wrong with that, I wanted access to it on the outside
He keeps calling the installers from home depot professionals 😆 🤣 😂 they aren't even handyman quality
1 thing I'll give him credit for is that he used a screw driver to mount the dishwasher to the cabinet, never use a drill it will strip out the wood
Oh the biggest mistake is the open drain pipe under the sink with a rag in it, and he forgot to mention when you punch out the knock out in the disposal to get that knock out from inside your disposal, remember not everyone on you tube knows what they are doing
Another idiotic attempt to discredit. I also did not tell people to throw out the cardboard box afterward too. The open drain under the sink with the rag in it is from an old unused drain line that was later cut off and capped up. Trying to make this look wrong so you can feel good about yourself, and discredit the experts just make you look a lot less knowledgeable. and now everyone knows you are full of hot air and no substance. Nice try.
This guy isn't a professional at all first off I seen copper outside of the wire nut, second the hose clamp on the drain coming off the pump was not in the proper position which could cause it to leak later on third a real plumber drills a drain hole through the cabinet right below the counter top so that you don't have the drain hose under the cabinet getting in the way
