@@Dale115 Not sure what you're referring to here, but this video is several years old and prices on everything has gone up.
Thanks for the video. It helped a lot. I am pretty handy, but had never replaced a dishwasher before. You showed me how simple it was. Took the anxiety out of it. Well done video, too! Lots of people beat around the bush; you kept it concise and to the point.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
I came here to say exactly what Todd said. Well done and thank you.
I third this! I’m researching dishwashers to replace the one that came with our house, and this video relieved all my anxieties about installing one. Also agreeing with how nice and concise it was. No extra “fluff” dialogue and the video was clear and easy to see.
Thank you so much!
@@dbkase3412 p
I'll bet you're not as "handy" as the DoItYourselfDad, though. All I could watch was his hands!
this makes it look so simple thank you!!!
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.
What's a high loop
@@checkmate1233 you loop the drain hose above your disposal and come back down to the fitting on the disposal. It prevents waste from your disposal from flowing back into your dishwasher. Some of the newer dishwashers have a back flow preventer to eliminate that problem.
How would you put a high loop above the port if you can't get behind washer after it's pushed in? Genuine question.
@@Nightowl52T you put the high loop under the sink before it hooks into the garbage disposal. It is to prevent garbage from draining back from the sink into the dishwasher.
Congratulations on installing your own dishwasher! And thank you for the video, it really helped me to understand why I was paying so much for my dishwasher installation.
As a female, these instructions were perfect! Very much appreciated. Thank you. You’ve gained a new subscriber 😜
Thank you!
Thank you! After watching this, i did it! I replaced my broken dishwasher myself, with my kids as assistants!
Awsome! Glad you got the kids learning to DIY too!
straight to the point....thanks
Hello. I’m trying to install my new dishwasher and you have taught me a lot. Thanks!!
Awesome! Best of luck with the install!
Appreciate it. You just saved me a ton of frustration.
Thanks for explaining in an easy to understand way (straight to the point) ! Pretty easy. On my way to do it. Wish me luck
Great job easily explain thank you for your help
Thanks dad
I just was placing an order for new DW and the installation fee was going to be $150-$160😳I will be unchecking that box now😁Thank you for this video.
Awsome!
Installation is $250 in January of '24. That's 67% inflation in two years.
Great teacher, good media voice. As a complete novice, I would have appreciated deeper details. Show the feeding the lines electrical.
Yea every diy UA-camr loves to omit details or a quick explanation of what something does or what it's for lol
@@mikepszczola9075 It's always a careful balance, tbh. Too much detail and people complain that you don't know how to cut useless info and too little and you've cut too many details.
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.
Thanks i needed to learn this for work
I'm a do it yourself mom. Thanks!
Heck yeah!
Thank you for this summary video. 🙂
Great job!
Nice step by step, great stuff
This was overall great. I was hoping to see how the drain connection works to the sink. Ill keep looking. Thanks for making this!
If you have a garbage disposal there is a port you can plumb it through.
@@DoItYourselfDad im starting fresh completely
great video. wish you had the details about fishing the wires through the dishwasher to make the connection.
Nice clear and concise video. However, it was missing some steps like removing all of the old electrical and water connectors from the old dishwasher and installing the new electrical into the strain relief. I was watching these types of videos just to gain more confidence and those extra steps would have helped people tremendously who have never done this before. Still a great video, though.
Yes! This is why I came and he just skips it! 😤
thank you!
Thank you!!
Thank you
Great video - I like the information + the camera angle you choose very smart
Glad we could help!
I’m a single mom and I love your videos! This makes it so much easier for me to DIY!
My hats off to you, keep up the good work! Glad we could help!
Exact same reason I am here 😁
Thanks for the clear and helpful instructions, I did do it myself in an hour with no previous appliance installation experience. Cheers and keep up the good work!
Good Job, very informative.
Just a tip for everyone, they sell absorbent pads (a puppy pad works too) for working under sinks.If you're like me, you just end up knocking over the bowl of water.
Pig pads are good too.
Good stuff
Thanks
Very great and easy install instructions. Thank you
Glad we could help!
I would note the importance of leveling it during installation. Water can often settle in the back causing mold and odor if not leveled properly.
Tyler Cox I cant get the little legs to spin
You should loosen the legs when the dishwasher is on its side (when installing hoses, before putting in place). From there you can use a wrench to fine tune when the dishwasher is straight up.
Nice!
How do you level it
@@weetzybat I break it down to "Russian Bot" in this thread. The legs should spin. Use a level to check
Oh my gosh! I'm an old lady, so I watch UA-cams to do repairs or replacements of any and all kinds. Our dishwasher is going out and we're looking to replace it. I thought it'd be a good idea to check out how difficult it is going to be before we buy the new one. This video is AMAZING! I feel confident enough that I can do it myself. I'm sure my SiL will do it. But this video is great! Thx
Saving men $200 at a time. Nice.
thanks bro this helped alot i just got a huge dishwasher and i had to find a place to put it in my big house
Great vid thank you. About to do this for our new dishwasher. The only thing missing is the wire strain installation. Many dishwashers do not come with that so you need to buy one and put that on to secure those wires. I know it's a simple thing but for many people who watch these videos, like me, they may never have done that before.
Thank you. Super useful
Just make sure to check inside the dishwasher for paperwork or other things before turning it on! A real estate client of mine had an inspection done on the flipped home they had bought, and the inspector ran the dishwasher with the manual inside it, and it created quite a problem for them.
Whups!!!
Make sure not to put drain line low, must be installed high and drop down,
Really great video. Awesome step by step.
Masterful video
Thanks for the video. How do you fill that gap on top?
Depending on how big your gap is you can use 1/4 round or a strip of molding.
Great job, I thought you were articulate, and the visuals were great! Thank You
I stare at computer monitors for a living, but dammit!! I ma try installing my new dishwasher myself after watching this video!
Wooo! You can do it!
Great video! However, I just wanted to inform you that the electrical plug used at 1:43 under the sink cabinets should be replaced with a GFCI plug to prevent catastrophic harm from occurring.
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.
Just saw this comment, my GFCI is on the backsplash above the washer.
Not if it's in line of one!
What would make the water supply hose bust about 6 inches from the hookup on the dishwasher?
Great video, thanks!
Wish there were full details about wiring the dishwasher. Everything else was helpful.
Cool video
Wow, I feel like I could actually do this now. Thanks!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Make sure to check the wires if they are directly connected. I shutoff the breaker but checked with a pen and was still getting voltage on the connection. Once I shut a few more breakers I had no current flowing and was able to do this safely. Great video, getting the same unit.
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!
Wow this is real simple to do. Can’t believe they’ll charge me $150 to install. Seems like everybody rips me off. Hope you have a vid on how to install a split mini AC they charge what $300 for that. Thank you.
Minisplit is next on my list for the garage! I’ll have a video on it once I get it installed.
its not a ripoff because the true professionals also have INSURANCE should anything go wrong. where as, if you do it on your own and flood your kitchen, your home insurance etc will blame you and make you pay to fix it.
I'd have liked to see you feed the hoses thru the wall to be more clear on how that's done, but otherwise, a clear instructional video.
Great video
So this was helpful but the only thing I would say or correct me if I'm. Wrong or if this is specfic setup but isn't the hose supposed to come through high on the cabinet not low in the back?
It really shouldn’t matter
I watched this cause I wanted to know how to get those hoses in the back making sure they're not kinked. And making sure the drain line is installed correctly. That's the only parts you didn't show.
Thanks for this video I just installed my new dishwasher and it was a breeze thanks to this review
Awesome! Congrats on getting it done!
You should have mentioned to turn off electrical power before connecting the electrical power line to the dishwasher.
Nicely done. Also it's always a good rule of thumb when tightening, when you screw it on and get resistance stop, do a quarter turn and be done. Most of the time. Also as you said, always check for leaks after. Great job again. Got a 👍 here !!
Excellent tip!
So does the white tubing go under the dishwasher or will it take up space in the back causing the dishwasher to stick out more in the front...?
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.
good video, but did not see when you levelled the dishwasher, front to back and side to side
About to try this for the first time. Someone told me that leveling the dishwasher is the hardest part, is that something to worry about? Thanks and great vid!
I didn't have to level mine, when I've leveled them in the past it wasn't bad, you'll want a wrench (not socket) so slip under the washer to adjust the feet.
my washing machine wasn't leveled and vibrates. the only consequence is that vibrating(if it is off more than a little)
The earth rotates, if you’re Installing it on earth it won’t make a difference

Levels matter
should teflon be wrapped on the supply line?
Tape should not be used on compression fittings.
I wanted to see the supply line connected to the washer
What about installing a new dishwasher where there wasn’t one
Not bad, skipped a big step though, or didnt show it in ur video, leveling the d.w..
I just purchased the very Bosch dishwasher to replace a GE one. Thanks for sharing! How is it holding up for you?
So far I’ve had no problems with it, and it’s also the quietest dishwasher I’ve ever had.
I did not see how the hoses and power cord were fed into the under sink cabinet...that seems like a difficult thing to do.
At 1:44 who’s demonstrating this video, you or a werewolf?
It was a full moon.....
Am I the only one who (childishly) noticed the hairy arm? I thought it was a bigfoot. Im so awful. The video was great though. I am going to attempt it by myself and will hopefully not throw up after I see whats behind it in this 1984 condo.
You're not the first to comment about my hair arms here 🤣
Are you from oak harbor Washington? I’m from Burlington work in anacortes I do install granite countertops from creative surfaces
No sorry, Im in So Cal. Just put in quartz.
my power cord has no colors on the wires. there is a W on one side of the plug, and the middle wire says its ground only. Does the W mean that side is neutral? I don't own a volt meter and I don't want to drive round trip to 50 miles to buy a new cord. (I live in the boonies)
Wish that you had explained about hooking up the drain line to the existing plumbing.
@@jonathan9552 Unfortunately, the cabinetmakers that took out the old one didn't leave a picture of what was there.
No Teflon on the feed line?
You don’t use tape on compression fittings.
I wanted to see a magic trick for making the face plumb and the washer square. But I’m in a 1969 mobile home renovation so I think it’s just persistance
dencent Tutorial!
id like to say though, hiring a licensed and INSURED professional is usually worth the price because if you do this on your own and end up flooding your kitchen or blowing a fuse or anything, your homeowners insurance will blame you and make you pay for it.
make sure your capable and aware of the risks before attempting any DIY!
happy improving!
If you refer to tripping a circuit breaker as “popping a fuse”, then you definitely should hire a professional. The rest of us can take care of ourselves.
BTW… tripping a breaker isn’t a problem, it’s preventing one.
@@DoItYourselfDad I didn't say "popping a fuse" I said "blowing a fuse" sure, it's a safety measure so your house won't burn down but that's still a trip to home Depot to buy a new fuse and also the knohow and danger of installing said new fuse so.. just saying man. Not all people are capable. All I'm saying. Be easy
Clear photography and not a lot of inane chatter
Excellent instruction, photography, and sound. Thank you DoItYourselfDad.
Thank you!
Where did the power come from?
I needed more information about the electrical hook up. You showed the bottom but now how it was attached to electricity. Was it hard wired or a plug in?
Mine was plugged in, depending on your house and how it is wired you may have an outlet under your sink, or a junction box to hard wire into.
@@DoItYourselfDad That was a question I had to since my old one was literally directly wired right into the line. Some above have recommended GFI lines I assume because of the risk of a leak. Great video!
whoa, such a good idea to install everything first before push the dishwasher in!
Do most dishwashers come with the sound proof pad or anything else beside the drain hose? Thank you
Most new ones do come with the sound padding, my older one didn't have it. It should come with a drain hose, most will not come with the plug/wiring as some people choose to hardwire their washers while others use a socket.
Nice, you really did make it look easy to install that new Dishwasher! :)
Thank you!
Most dishwashers require the discharge tube to be approx. 20" from the floor which I did not see mentioned
Should be titled “how to replace dishwasher “
Thanks, DoItYourselfDad. Very helpful video. Maybe could use more wide shots to get a better idea of what's connected to what.
Thank you for this. Removing and installing a dishwasher in my home that was there when I moved in. I was glad to find this and how clear and to the point it is.
My first time installing an appliance of this magnitude. The video was completely helpful thanks!
Does the drain hose sometimes connect directly to the garbage disposal?
Yes, common often time is it does
Hi i have a problem with my dishwasher wen it’s washing the water comes out from the drain house into the counter top
Do you know whats the problem
If it’s coming out the vent you probably have a clog in your drain hose.
Great video. Only thing I would do differently is check for leaks before pushing it into place.
i need help! i’m not sure how much to un-tighten the water handle thing under the sink! my dishwasher said there was no water and i forgot to untighten it but i’m not sure how much i should turn it
If you are referring to the water valve, some are 1/4 turn, some are threads. Either way, you’ll want to turn it to the left to open the valve, turn the handle as far as it will go.
I’m a DIY Dad as well as a UA-camr (watcher and content creator). Called a couple handymen and was quoted $100-$125!😱 Thanks for this video. I might make one as well.😉
Awesome! Let me know if you do! We'll give your video a shout out!
Thank You, I am going to install my new dishwasher myself tomorrow!
Great! Let us know how it goes!
No im a plumber let me do it. I will make sure it gets installed the right way
@@thetexaschainsaw9366 I'm a 21 year licensed appliance installer, Ive installed more than 12 thousand dishwashers. For the record I've never seen a plumber do a good job installing a dishwasher. This guy is clearly an amateur who did a typical do it yourself-er type install. I've fired people who did work this sloppy. This guy didn't make any functional install mistakes that would cause problems, in fact this is at least as good of an install as a plumber would do. Though it looks pretty rough. p.s. Bosch makes the worst dishwasher.
@@jaclynsanders6410 , Do tell on Bosch? I was thinking of getting one. What are your top choices?
@@cocobrwngl So apparently my husband was watching videos on my account and didn't realize it. 😂 But he says to buy the new style Kitchenaid, the one with the third rack for cups. Bosch doesn't dry dishes, and he's replaced a bunch of them over the years for that reason alone.
ok, you gave me the confidence to install my own dishwasher... lol
This just saved me over $150! Possibly more since I ran into an issue with the counter height. And I can return the new drain hose. Best UA-cam ever🥳
These comments are the reason I keep making videos! Thank you!
Thanks man your a life saver or the fiance would kill for not installing her appliance LOL
