    If you don’t use a high loop on your drain hose by mounting it above the inlet port and dropping it back down(a high loop), your dishwasher will be gravity feed from the disposal. This was how our old dishwasher was installed and it made it stinky all the time from dirty water running back into the dishwasher.

      For anyone reading this, I urge you to use a voltage meter rather than a pen. Being able to measure voltage and visually see it helps ensure it's dead, also test your equipment on a known live circuit first to make sure it's operating properly. You would also be opening the breaker, nomenclature goes a long way in others assisting you if you have questions. Be safe everyone!

      Yup. I'm wondering how he got the wires and hoses through the back of the opening into the sink area when the appliance fills up all the access space for my arms and body. Are the hoses long enough to stuff through the hole in the back of the partition while the dishwasher is still outside the compartment it slides into?
      I guess I could stuff a rope through the hole from the under-sink area first, tie it around the hoses, etc.' and then pull the hoses through when I'd pushed the dishwasher in far enough to create enough slack.

    • @wesleybrehm9386
      @wesleybrehm9386 4 роки тому +8

      Not necessarily. There only needs to be a GFCI on any outlet in the circuit. While most electricians will install the GFCI under the sink, there's a good argument for installing the GFCI on an outlet above the sink as long as it's on the same circuit as the outlet under the sink. Reason: it's a lot easier to reset a GFCI outlet that's on the countertops than to crawl under the sink, and the GFCI will still provide protection as long as it is on the same circuit.

      It can be done either way, you have to either re-use or purchase the wiring. If direct wired make sure you know what you're doing in that the switch is off and test it thoroughly. Plug-in is significantly safer to install, so if you are even 1% unsure of yourself for a direct wire, do not do this and get a pro to do the install.

    Some will need a special bracket to affix the dishwasher to the cabinetry if a stone countertop is in place.

    Nice job. The last time I replaced a dishwasher I had to slide it out 3 times because the hoses kept getting run over and wadding up underneath it. I finally had to slide the washer in a little and pull hoses. But that is my luck lol! Thank you for showing me how to do it.

    If I can't turn off the supply line under the sink can I turn off the main line instead? It doesn't seem to want to turn off under the sink. I have a dishwasher being installed in a few days and not sure if I need to take care of this first or if turning the main line off will suffice.

    • @DoItYourselfDad
      @DoItYourselfDad  Рік тому

      Yes, that would work. If you did that, open the valves on the sink to relieve the pressure before disconnecting the hoses.

      If you notice around 4:50 in the video, the power supply box is opposite the water supply connection. It would have to be standing in a few inches of water to reach the electrical supply.

    On these Bosch dishwashers, a junction box is required there is a receptacle under your sink. If you do need the junction box, it is mounted outside the dishwasher install area usually under the sink. Before tackling this job, TURN OFF ELECTRICITY AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. Test that you don’t have electricity with a multimeter on AC volts. If you do not understand electricity please just don’t attempt this work.
