Nice video, but a few comments from a longtime professional appliance installer: You should have removed the old 3/8" copper line and used the 3/8" stainless braid fill line that came with the install kit, and connected the elbow and fill line to the DW before sliding it into the opening. Also should have used the new drain line that came with the DW, as how you connected to the old one won't hold because it was only rubber on rubber, with no hard backing tube inside to prevent the old drain line from collapsing. I guarantee it will leak eventually, if it hasn't already. Also the top mounting brackets have tabs that should have been bent up after being placed into the slots, so they'll stay in place. Those will come loose eventually. I see it all the time on DIY installs. Finally, the romex or power cord should come through the larger hole in the back of the electrical box, with a metal or plastic strain relief, which is normally included in the install kit. BTW, I'm not trying to be mean, just helpful to you, and to folks watching this :o)
This should be upvoted so it's seen by everyone. I was watching videos to remind myself of any "oh, yeah!" items before installing mine, but I caught all these same errors in the video (though otherwise helpful). Heh, I guess that means I'm ready to install this fancy new thing. As a side note, I think reusing the old copper line is probably OK in a pinch -- for instance, if it comes straight out of the wall with a remote shutoff. But those compression fittings don't always seal well the second time, and they get stiff and brittle with age. So overall, probably best to replace the line, and it's usually really easy in the case of a dishwasher. No one wants a leak they won't see until it ruins their subfloor. That's why installers from the big box stores won't install it unless they can replace the old copper intake line.
The stainless braided line is garbage! The rubber inside the line goes bad all the time and puts rubber pieces all throughout the system. You have done what’s best by reusing the hard copper line!
I found both your removal and install videos extremely simple and easy to follow and beyond helpful. I will be doing this myself this week and while everything you did is pretty much what I figured needed to be done is was very helpful to actually see it done step by step. Sears wanted $100.00 for the installation. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
I did not have a clue on how to that before I saw your video. Now, I feel ready to take out the old crap and put my brand new maytag. Thank you so much for a perfect tutorial.
I had almost the exact same old and new dishwasher as you did in the video. It was pretty amazing. Our kitchen cabinets looked almost identical as well so following along was a breeze. Thank you!
Great general tips for a newbie like me. I just swapped out my ancient Maytag with a new Bosche, but did need to insert my hard wiring into a the supplied custom plug/junction box, use the new supplied drain hose, and swap out my old copper hot water tube for a new braided line because the attachment point is in a totally different spot. Still, your tips helped immensely.
both of these videos have helped me tremendously and saved me a few hundred bucks for uninstall and new install. I also love the legitimacy of having the dog and the kids "helping" hahah, thank you! perfect!
Just followed your lead and removed my dishwasher. Waiting to get the new one and I'm going to use this video as my educational tool. Good video and easy to follow. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks a lot for posting the video! Perhaps you can tell me why when the dishwasher finish the cleaning process, water remains at the bottom like a pool. Should I buy a new one or it is something easy to fix?
Definitely gave me confidence. really wasn't hard. The power cord should never be in place where it can be pinched or run over by the dishwaher. I liked the video thanks for taking the time.
I've installed a few dishwashers, but is has been a few years. Thanks for the excellent removal and install videos. One question: did you remove the compression slip before installing the special Maytag 90 degree fitting?
I like the video. Very helpful. Good tip on the power tester. My weakness is the power wires, but i think i could do this. I might have to watch this video one more time, when i'm getting to install. Saving this video. Thanks
If different parts, such as brackets or different items do not come with a dishwasher; where is best to purchase? We bought a second hand dishwasher months before we bought our home and will be needing to change the 1993 dishwasher out to the second hand one until income taxes when we can purchase a brand new one. Thanks!
thanks for the video. Very helpful. I removed the old one without any problem. However, when I connect the water pipes, though I did it very tightly. There is still water leakage. Any trick in tighting the tube?
Don't know if I'd like to trust my life to that little electrical tester thingie. I would turn the DW on momentarily to test that power is on, then turn off breaker and try DW again. If it doesn't energize, you're good to go. Seems to me, once you have drain and electric connected to new unit, you could use length of garden hose to connect drain for short test before you shove DW into counter.
Im not looking forward to removing our old one and replacing it with our new one. This video helps but its a lot of responsibility if you get something wrong. Ugh home ownership lol. But yea our cats have been eyeballing the underside of ours and im sure there are mice. So that will be fun.
Great video, I agree with some of the comments about showing steps as well as describing them, but I have one minor quibble:as far as tools needed you showed a nice pair of gloves, but you didn't use them! What gives?
I appreciate you posting a video but I found it so frustrating. I've never installed a dishwasher and I really need to see each step being preformed. Telling me what you will do and then showing it already done is really of no additional help. The included instructions provide this much information. I need to see exactly how to do it. Maybe keep that in mind for future videos.
@@farukatasever2933 I have to agree with Rebecca. The main question I had was skimmed over and not shown. Attaching the brackets at the end. My current dishwasher moves around and won't close until I jiggle it around into just the right spot. I wanted to see that part so I could figure out if it's my dishwasher or I need to get somebody to rebuild the inside area when I get a new dishwasher.
the drain hose should never go Over another hose if you must install it that way the new drain hose should go inside the existing hose (male to female) but I wouldn't do it this way I would have used the new hose all the way to the drain with NO union that can't be seen this surely will leak and you should change it esp. with wood floors !
Are you freaking kidding me??? Do not listen to this guy about connecting the power cord! First of all he put the cord thru the wrong hole, and more importantly he didnt use a clamp to secure it into position, which could cause an electrical fire if there was too much tension on the cord!!!! WOW. Dont make instructional videos if you're setting ppl up for a housefire...
I noticed the wrong hole was used, too. What sort of clamp are we supposed to use, though, as tension relief? Also, is the tension more likely to short and cause a breaker to flip or is there some other effect that would allow current to flow for longer and cause a fire?
Zak Morrow there are a few different options available for strain relief, plastic or metal. I prefer a certain plastic piece when cording a dishwasher. Whichever option you use just remember the hole is 1/2".

tap4154 isn’t not installing the strain relief for the power supply against code?

I found your videos on replacing a dishwasher extremely clear and easy for a rookie to understand. Thank you for your help.
Easy to follow instructions! Thank you! Took the mystery out of installing my own dishwasher, and saved me about $150 installation costs!

Excellent video! Helped me do my own installation and saved me $100.00. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for posting these videos! Buying a house with a circa 70s disher installed and will be replacing that bad boy real soon.
Congrats on the house and thx for watching.
Thank you I’ve never done anything like this before, this gave me confidence to do it!
Definitely gave me confidence. really wasn't hard. The power cord should never be in place where it can be pinched or run over by the dishwaher. I liked the video thanks for taking the time.
Always, always, always use the NEW installation parts that come with new appliances!
I don't care what the nay sayers are claiming this is a very instructive video.
Thank you for the video - I now have confidence that I can replace our dish washer myself!
Thanks, what do you do instead of using those brackets at the end if you have granite countertops?
Install them into side cabinets...there are places on the side of dishwasher to just that
Again, very well explained in English I can comprehend!!! Thank you.
Nice video! I'm doing my first replacement tomorrow. Ummm... Did the insulation not fit? It looked kinda tight.
Thanks for sharing! We successfully installed our first dishwasher without a problem. This video was a great reference!
did the 90 degree elbow come with new w
dishwasher or you have to purchase it?
Thanks for taking the time to share the steps with us!
That's very nice of you. Tanks for watching.
Curious.... What model maytag did you go with? We also opted for a maytag. Have you had any issues with it?
I've installed a few dishwashers, but is has been a few years. Thanks for the excellent removal and install videos. One question: did you remove the compression slip before installing the special Maytag 90 degree fitting?

Excellent how-to video! Thanks for doing this and saving me some hassles!
Very helpful video. Thank you for the demonstration to uninstall and install a dishwasher!
Great and made it simple.
Thank you very much.
Amazing video !
Thank you sir ! You just saved me 200 $
I like the video. Very helpful. Good tip on the power tester. My weakness is the power wires, but i think i could do this. I might have to watch this video one more time, when i'm getting to install. Saving this video. Thanks
Good video. Gave me the confidence to go ahead and do it myself. Thanks
Excellent video! I'm replacing a dishwasher for a new girlfriend and thanks to you I will be a hero!
If different parts, such as brackets or different items do not come with a dishwasher; where is best to purchase? We bought a second hand dishwasher months before we bought our home and will be needing to change the 1993 dishwasher out to the second hand one until income taxes when we can purchase a brand new one. Thanks!
Should also note that I am unsure if any items are missing, just preparing!
thanks for the video. Very helpful. I removed the old one without any problem. However, when I connect the water pipes, though I did it very tightly. There is still water leakage. Any trick in tighting the tube?
use tape to wrap up thread before connecting pipes. Be careful case you use too much force you can just crack the pipe
Some Teflon tape (plumber tape) should help. It's inexpensive. Be sure to wind it on in the direction of the nut tightening. Thx for watching.

thanks for replying. I will try again.
Great video. Explained and demonstrated well. Thanks.
Nice video..How did you get the ground for the new dishwasher? I saw only 2 wires when you disconnected the first dishwasher...
Vignesh Kumar Palanimuthu
Very nice video. Very thorough.
great video, very useful information
thank you for your video. It helped us install our new dishwasher.
You installed the power wire into the wrong hole it suppose to go into the 1/2' hole in the rear of the power box with a romex connector
Don't know if I'd like to trust my life to that little electrical tester thingie. I would turn the DW on momentarily to test that power is on, then turn off breaker and try DW again. If it doesn't energize, you're good to go.
Seems to me, once you have drain and electric connected to new unit, you could use length of garden hose to connect drain for short test before you shove DW into counter.
Wow, thanks for the feedback. Hope it works out!

Learned a lot. Thanks!

Nicely done and thanks very much for sharing.

I missed or it didn't show what you did with the two circular clamps that came with it
Great video! Thanks!
thanks great video

Righty tighty. 😆
Thanks

Video is very misleading. It took me WAY longer than 9:23 to install my dishwasher.

Yep and thanks. These worked great: www.homedepot.com/p/3-8-in-Non-Metallic-NM-Twin-Screw-Cable-Clamp-Connectors-5-Pack-20511/100133208
Use the same wire clamp that's used for electric outlet boxes.
