Great video. I bought the 604 model and the install was seamless. Here is one additional installation tip I found useful. The video shows the use of a paddle-like tool to get the insulation past the cabinet face frame without bunching up. I found a better way was to take your utility knife and cut two pieces of cardboard from the dishwasher box about the size of the insulation on the sides of the dishwasher. Hold the cardboard over the insulation as you push the dishwasher into the opening. The cardboard will slide along the face frame instead of the insulation. When the dishwasher gets within about four inches from the face frame, you can pull the cardboard back out and then push the dishwasher in the rest of the way. It's like using a shoehorn to get into tight shoes. Since you were going to cut the box up anyway to get it into the recycling bin, doing it during the dishwasher install provides you with an extra installation tool to use with no overall additional work.
Good tip, glad I saw this 2 days before my install!
did the same
WARNING!! Water will drain out of your dishwasher when you lay it back as directed in this clip. Yes my brand new one leaked everywhere. Have a towel on hand as to not damage floor or adjacent cabinets.
As a DIY veteran I wasn’t sure this was necessary to watch; after watching it I am glad I did. Great tips to make the install go smoothly and result in an ideal finished install. I particularly appreciated the tip for eliminating the small plastic bits left inside the door after removing the protective covering. Thanks very much for a perfect video.
I’m in the process of installing a new Whirlpool and I have a problem disconnecting the wires from the drip pad - I tried unclipping the plastic connection with the orange wires, (26:50) but nothing budged or wiggled and it felt like I might break it off before it responded. I can see the installer has done it 100 times, so he knows the trick but I tried pushing left, right, up, down - it was not easy and I think this needs much more clarification because the instructions in the manual look different than it looks like in real life. In the video the details are hidden by the glove of the presenter, but when I try to make anything unclick, nothing works as easily as the video.
So I finally unplugged the drip pan by using a tiny screwdriver to be able to depress the click lock... but it was a very poor design, imho... and it felt almost like it was going to break before actually coming out.
But I'm saving the worst for last - the newfangled electric box connector. I could see if this was a plugged in electric it would be easy while the dishwasher was on it's side. BUT in my case I have a hard wired electric - so this new electric box is WAY worse than just a simple electric twist connector with screw electric caps. Way WORSE! Because I have to be on the floor, I found it nearly impossible to try to bend and locate the wires into the exact box location - so much more difficult than just grabbing two loose wires and screwing an orange joining cap on them. This would in fact be a total deal breaker if I knew ahead of time that it would be so difficult. Yes, I took the box off, reading how in the instructions, but it only gives an extra inch to move the cumbersome electric box down 1 inch lower.
Also the very troublesome drip pan makes this also a deal breaker for me. Sorry to be so negative, but I've put in 3 dishwashers before and this one was the most trouble by far. I guess most folks just have it done and pay $200 for an installer to come do it for them, but I'm a do it yourself kind of guy.
But thanks for extra info that I got from this video.
Excellent presentation by a man who knows his product.
Just spent 3 hours installing a new Maytag washer with this setup. I am not a professional and did the full install myself. Whirlpool should drop JB Hunt as it’s delivery/install company. They were supposed to remove my old dishwasher and install this new model. They fed me some BS about needing a long drain hose and Whirlpool doesn’t offer that for their “White Glove” delivery ordered through Costco. The 6’ hose the unit came with worked just fine... After doing the install myself, I am realizing the JB Hunt drivers were too lazy to take on this installation. I wish I saw this video before the install. The manual is simple enough to follow but having the visual helps a lot! Maytag should start printing a link to installation videos for on the manuals. I took my time working through the install to ensure no issues when all was done. Everything ran smooth at the initial rinse cycle. Please change the way you’re doing delivery/installs. JB Hunt is clearly not interested in the labor part of the final mile contract. They’re a logistics company; not appliance installers. Figure out a better way to do this so people who don’t have the time or ability to do this install themselves are not left with a new dishwasher collecting dust in the garage.
Same for Dome Depot. Though they informed me upon purchase that they no longer do installs. But, they did get rid of the old one.
I know this video is a couple of years old but it is still great. Very thorough and easy to watch. Thank you!
I just replaced our old Kitchen Aid dishwasher with a new KDMP404 2020 one. This was my first dishwasher installation. I would never have been able to do it without this video. While you give a lot of detailed instruction which is great, a lot more key information was conveyed by your demonstration e.g. how does the insulation go on the kick plate. I found myself running back to the video multiple times to find answers to questions that came up while doing the installation. Much to my surprise everything was done right first time. I thought for sure I would have messed up something but I got it right. And while there are a lot of good features with this product, there are a lot of annoyances such as the need for SAE and Metric wrenches; the screws are sometimes, flat head, or Phillips or Torx. But, again, through your video I was able to do it. A link to your video should go out with the installation instructions - seriously. Thank you.
Boy do I hope someone is monitoring this video. Here goes my question:
Can you connect the standard plug [without the ring connectors] to the new receptacle box? I’m installing myself but the power cord that was delivered was not the type you are using.
Super helpful, I ended up doing self-install and this video covered all the steps at the right level of detail. Thumbs up on putting the QR code to the video in the instruction manual. Thank you!
I just install one of these today. It was a little bit of a pain but I've seen worse. I don't see any reason to wait to re-attach the dip pan assembly after everything is in place. I agree that leveling the thing with no access to the back legs is a royal pain.
Thank u man I couldn’t find the water valve for the life of me and u showed the fitting I needed thanks mate 🙏🏽
Great instructional video. Step by step. Perfect camera work and verbal information.
Fantastic. Glad they added a link to this video in the instruction manual because the manual was nowhere near thorough enough!
I love the drop down junction box. Gave me a lot more freedom when installing my hardwire connection.
Fantastic video! Gives me a lot more confidence choosing Whirlpool branded appliances in the future.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. As a "Do it yourself" person, this was such a blessing.
Great video! Nice job; especially how you go over every aspect of installation. You should be doing more videos that these. Great job sir!
This was a very helpful video, good on Whirlpool for putting it up.
Awesome thanks! I like how afterwards you went over a few extra points. Well done.
Thank you soooo much! My husband and I installed our dishwasher effortlessly thanks to you! ❤
Love the tip at the end of the video for a older home with a built up floor, thanks.
Thank you for posting this I couldn't figure out how my insulation went back together
Thank you Sir, you made my life my easier. I followed your directions and successfully installed machine
Great video I watched it as I was installing my whirlpool dishwasher I would pause it each step and got it done. Thanks again
Thank you John for exactly answering the question I was hoping to get answered. Great video 😅 Many thanks 🙏
This video is relevant and on point. You totally walked me through this process.
so helpful. Love this model..but it's a change. The insulation is GREAT, but a pain to deal with. Again so quiet I love it!.
Thank you so much-this helped my husband and I install our new dishwasher!
Thanks for the video. I watch all first, then went back a few times to verify the steps as I was doing the install. Could not have done it without your tips.
Very well explained! It helped me a lot with installing my dishwasher. Thank you Sir!
Excellent video! Very articulate, and covered all the relevant information needed.
Please stand back, this man is a professional :)
Great video.. I wish you were the person who installed our dishwasher. It looks awful and he definitely did not ask what we thought and of all things it doesn't dry.. ugg
I ordered my new whirlpool from lowes,it only came with the drain hose and clamps,i was told when ordering that id need to purchas an 'install kit' which cost me an extra $40,but it did come with power cord(no eyelets though) and water line,im still in the process of hooking mine up(kinda hard to follow instructions,which is why im here 😁)
Thank you for your help. Worked great.
Awesome video, really the Best I've seen for my new dishwasher Thank you sir
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video!
This guy is excellent!
Our model has no holes on the side for a side mount. There's no way to access the mounting bracket once the unit is in place. It looks like there's a place for said hole, but it's not been punched out. What gives?
When using that granite installation kit by Smart Choice it adds another 1/4 in so the back has to be adjusted down to allow the front to accept the kit.
Very well detailed, thank u
Great video, helped me a lot. Thanks!
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Are there any videos of how to install with the hardwire? Doesn't make sense when you just say "tape it to the floor and hook it up later" for us newbies
It’s at the end of the video.
You are the best!
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Great vid! What was used for the grommet for the power cord where it passed through the cabinet? Thanks 😀
Great video. Thanks!
Great video. Thanks
Excellant video!
Older home and my water supply came up through the floor right where the drip tray was so the pipes were in the way. I ended up having to move my water line before I could finish the installation. That was a nuisance to say the least.
Great video, thank you.
Very helpful. I appreciate the effort you put into this installation video.
Excellent. Thank you.
No power cord supplied,its sad.
Part number for side-trim? My JennAir had trim that installed (screwed into) the sides of the cabinetry around the dish-washer. KitchenAid's customer pictures, on the web site reviews for the black-stainless model with a protruding handle (like the device to the right of the dish washer in this video.
Yes listen to this man 👍👍👍
Yeah I am having nothing but trouble installing mine. I followed instructions to the letter and its beeping like hell at me. I have a Kitchen Aid Model # KDTM404KPS. Its also stuck in a certain cycle mode. I try to push cancle start/resume but nothing. Recycled the power with the breaker but still stuck in the same mode. Its brand new and I just installed it. Checked the float switch to make sure its plugged in, it is and here is the strange thing, it worked once and washed with out any dishes in it, but then has not worked at all since. I have only had it for 2 days now.
Thanks for the detailed video. I would like to clarify the direct wire connection. I do not have a outlet plug behind my unit. Can I connect the bare wire directly to the terminals. In the past I would connect the wires with a wire nut. Thank you.
Have the same question. Did you ever get an answer here?
@@aarongrove2688 No but a terminal box that came with the dishwasher allowed me to connect the bare wires within the box.
We are installing the same dishwasher the drain hose it wants to kink in the elbow any advice?
I purchased part # 4317824 power cable but only had eyelet on ground wire. Does the kitchen aid KDPM604KPS have the same connection as the one in the video?. I guess I can connect eyelets to black and white for this type of connection
How do you install into Stainless Steel cabinets?
in canada all dishwashers need to be hard wired no pludin cords are aloud
Good job
Great video! The only thing missing is the side black insulation pad installation (the instructions are terrible on figuring this out).
So I am about to do this installation. How is that installed? Do you recall? Thanks.
Did either of you find instructions on the black insulation pad?
Anyone know if this type door spring tension is adjustable?
Can you tell me about the narrow wine cooler, model no., etc?
Why aren't dishwashers designed to have the electric connection in the back instead of the front...would make install/removal much easier. same for the water inlet.
What is the model # to the power cord? HD sent me a kit with a power cord with wire nuts.
I know y'all think making the power supply with eyelets is more secure and/or easier. But the part numbers supplied with the new dishwasher are all backordered. Can you not just use what literally every other dishwasher has been using for years? So frustrating. Also why don't you mention creating an air gap in the drain line? It's code in most US states.
Yes, and today a year later I'm stuck with the same issue. No stock of those special cables. Do I attempt cutting their eyelets and use wire nuts? But if it doesn't workout, if unit wires too short it will be a major fail.
I'm having trouble finding the power cord with the eyelets. It would be even more helpful if we could get those product numbers. Thanks for the great video!

Not available anywhere I look. Even whirlpool amazon page says two months
They must have a new redesign redesign? Unit came with no install instructions and hardware. Still can't find how to anchor unit to cabinet? Nothing online or in part blow up,diagrams? Looks like a hybrid of GE and who knows?
Just installed 1 hour ago. If you are missing the hardware, you won't be able to secure to the cabinets. There are 2 small metal brackets that hook to the side.
Great video.. but the f8 e4 error also means the drip tray is full.. in case your a putz like me and had a little spray...
If the guy would move his hand we could see how he connects the power cord
He inserts the screw through the eyelet and screws it into the same colored wire terminal.
My new whirlpool keeps coding e4 e8 chna

Video was good, but the new “upgrades” to the appliance are crap! Plastic adjustable legs? Who came up with that one? Mine stripped right away. If you’re changing the way the electrical is attached, then you need to include an upgraded wire to reflect that change. The 90 degree hose attachment is nice though and yes, when u tip it on its side…it will leak water.
Great video!
Great video!
