Great video! Right to the point and explained very nicely!! Nothing worse than someone who just tells you their life story while very little work is performed.
This is great! My brand new dishwasher came with no instructions! I knew how to hook everything else up except for the cabinet brackets. Thanks for the vid!
Great video! Helped me a lot with my installation that I completed today. Glad I watched a few times before diving in myself. A few things about my 100 series: * The electrical connection had three prongs, but not the typical outlet connector. The appliance people at the hardware store provided a junction box converter (junction box gets mounted in a cabinet adjacent to the dishwasher), after which I was able to hook into our three wires. That added a little more time to the install, but was a relatively easy process. * The front panel seems a bit finicky. The left screw doesn't seem to "take", though the right screw went in just fine. Leaving it for now as I'm pooped and the dishwasher is otherwise working fine. Other than that, everything went smoothly! Thanks again and hope you're still enjoying your Bosch!
Great video and it covered 98% of the Installation process. The only thing that was missing is the part about leveling out the Dishwasher by adjusting the legs and then putting in the Pinning screws. It is very important to make sure it's 100% level. I would love to see a quick follow up video to see how it has held up after two years.
I wish I'd watched your video first!! I screwed up where to put the supply line, realized it when I couldn't get the toe kick on and will have to pull it back out tomorrow and fix it... you have a very thorough video.Thanks - M
You rock! I just bought one of these dishwashers as Consumer Reports rated it the highest of those they tested. I have installed dishwashers myself a few times in the past but it's always nice to have a demonstration beforehand, especially on the same model! Of course mine will have the plug that Joel K mentions but I will have to work around that, I don't have an outlet to install, just the bare wires.
Hey Scott - excellent video! I just cut the existing cabinets in a kitchen remodel to fit a new Bosch 100 dishwasher, and really appreciate your video. The delivery service must have taken the printed installation manual with them when they unpacked the unit, so your video was a lifesaver! I see the water supply connection under the sink in your video connected to the hot water, but don't remember any mention of the water connection, i.e. "Hot or Cold" to the dishwasher. I believe dishwashers are supposed to be connected to the "Hot" water as you show. Also, my new Bosch 100 came with a connectorized cord that plugs into the back of the dishwasher, and then into a standard 120VAC 3-prong wall outlet. Most dishwasher electrical connections are now made to a GGCI (Ground Fault) outlet under the sink. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
Glad the video helped! I heard a lot of the newer dishwashers are coming with outlet plugs which makes things a bit easier for installation; would have been a nice option to have for sure!
Scott - I had to modify an old kitchen cabinet, and was able to get the bare minimum clearances needed to fit the dishwasher. The soundproofing fleece on my Bosch 100 shifted around and bunched up while I did the necessary in/out clearance checks, and made it very difficult to get the dishwasher out of the space. I found that a bit of duct tape placed here and there around the edges to hold the fleece in place helped enormously to keep it from shifting and jamming the dishwasher in the space. It also kept the fleece in place while I laid the dishwasher on its back to connect the water supply, and while I tipped it forward to connect the power plug and drain hose. I left the duct tape pieces in place for the final installation to keep the fleece in place. Works great, and fits just like it should.
Very good tutorial video! I am going to install mine and this is just like an installation video made by Bosch! They should thank you for making such a good video 😀
great vid, I do most of my troubleshooting this way too. But I realize for a new DW you can do water and electrical connections first to the DW, even put DW on its side to make access easier, before inserting the DW into its slot by slowly pushing it in, pulling the water and drain hoses each time to insure it doesn't bunch or kink, and likewise push the power cord in slowly to insure its not kinking. Thank you. BTW on some high end Bosch all these connections are in the back and can be more work. Kudos too to your kitchen lines, so neat!
I wish all Bosch would install this way. Connections in the back are a pain in the a$$. The water intake is hard to tighten, and the electrical connection has a lead that is plugged in to the back of the DW, and hard-wire into a junction box under the adjacent cabinet. After installing mine I had to pull it out again because the water intake wasn't tightened enough. If the connections were in the front, it would have been easier.
@@joeweatlu5169 I hear you. The lower end Bosch are like a GE or Whirlpool DW with its connectors a front but the high end are more like European ones with it at back. I can download install and service guides of potential appliances before I buy and being easy to work with factors highly whether I'll get it, above how its works. Enjoy.
Thanks for the great tutorial i am installing the exact same model right now but theres something bothering me- i have plus the drain on the back- the water line from the front but theres seem to be an extra clear hose tubing on the left side not plug to anything what should i do with it?
Hello Scott, thanks for this video. Incredibly helpful in installing my dishwasher. I am so close to finishing it!! The screws to the metal toe panel appear a little too skinny? Do you have any insights as to how I might be using them wrong? The long screws (longest provided which are about 1.5") slide right into the hole without any threading/grip. Please advise thanks!
Hey Wey, think I had a similar issue with another dishwasher I installed. I went to my local hardware store and got similar screws but a bit thicker. Alternatively you can try putting in the screw without the kick panel first, just to be absolute sure you’re putting it in the correct hole and that it doesn’t fit
@@moretorque I was just wondering since I hear Bosch doesn't dry well since it doesn't have a heating element/ring on the bottom of the dishwasher to aid in drying. Thanks for the quick response.
Hi Scott--great video. Question: did you install a strain relief for the hardwire connection and didn't show it, or did it come installed and you just employed it to clamp the field wires as protection against their pulling from the connection screws and didn't show that? Watching again looks at 6:23 that there is no strain relief installed but by 8:08 there it is installed. (Thnx!)
Hey Thomas, if I recall correctly I used the strain relief from the old dishwasher (was a Frigidaire). It wasn’t in the start of the video, but by the time I got to 8:08 I realized I needed one and used the one off the old dishwasher so I didn’t have to buy a new one. You can also see the strain relief at 6:23; it’s the grey plastic clamp around the wire. You pull it through the hole in the back of the junction box and it clips in. Hope that helps!
Thank you for the great Video. I have hard time understanding where to cut drain hose tube. How do i find out the diameter of my drain pipe? (my drain pipe looks very similar as yours).
At the 9:50 mark, you’ll see the drain tube has markings depending on the size of the y-pipe under your sink. There’s really only 2 standard sizes If you look into the drain tube, you’ll see it narrows down. So if it’s too large for your y-pipe under the sink, you’ll cut it at the next size down Do this at your own risk :)
I'm replacing a dishwasher with a new Bosch Ascenta model. I currently have a 3-prong plug and outlet for old dishwasher. Will I be able to use the same for new Bosch dishwasher? I have seen that new Bosch dishwashers are plug-n-play. I don't want to have to hardwire to junction box. I want to use current wall outlet dedicated for dishwasher. Thanks for the informative video!
Bosch makes a specific 3-Prong Power Cord for Bosch Ascenta models and I think they're about $20. The outlet should be fine, but I would use the Bosch plug.
@@scott.charles.taylor Thank you for the prompt reply Scott. A 3-Prong Power Cord was supplied by Bosch in the box. The brand new Ascenta works well. I referenced your video as I was installing it myself. Thanks for the awesome help. I greatly appreciate it!
@@jobransarri7369 that’s tight, I don’t think it will fit under your cabinets. Maybe it would if you were able to remove some of the flooring. I would agree it needs a minimum of 34.5”
Great video. I have a question - I am mounting to the top of the cabinet, the rubber sides aren't perfectly flush agains the sides because i believe the opening might be just slightly wider. Is that a big deal if I'm not mounting to the sides and using the top?
Hi James, no that's not a big deal. I would try to get the dishwasher as level and square as possible in the space by adjusting the legs, that way the gap is consistent and is not an eyesore .
@@scott.charles.taylor thanks, another question, does it matter if the water line goes into the dishwasher cabinet, behind the dishwasher, and is then threaded through the bottom to the front? I’m wondering if I need to adjust the hole in the cabinet so I can thread it differently . Does that make sense?😊
@@jwb0323 Not sure if I’m following, but I don’t think it matters too much. The norm is for the line to enter the cabinet at the back, and it’s usually routed on the floor under the dishwasher.
@@scott.charles.taylor i think i was just confusing myself 😁 i have it hooked up, do you think it best to run an empty cycle just to check for leaks on the bottom or go ahead and put dishes in?
@@jwb0323 Doesn't hurt to run an empty cycle for sure, this way you can check for leaks. After the empty cycle, I would double check all connections to ensure they're tight and leak free. Once you've confirmed everything is leak free, you can put the lower panel back on to cover up everything :)
Easy enough when you've got a modern house with the correct lines on the house-end. When you've got an older house, you've got to figure out those too... so far I haven't found answers.
Just had one quick question! The tube on the left side of the dishwasher? What was that for? I’m trying to install mine but it has a connected tube on the left that I saw on yours and you didn’t do anything with said tube in the video?
I was thinking of getting the same dishwasher in white. I was going to purchase online from Abt Electronics but they don't seem to have the correct install kit. Do you still have the part number of the installation kit?
Hi Steve, no I don't have the part number for the install kit. The dishwasher came with mostly everything, including the plastic drain tube. The only thing I had to buy was the water supply line and 90 degree elbow. You can usually get these kits at the big box stores!
Scott Taylor You know it all depends on the sales person you are dealing with. The first person told me I needed to buy a kit that was 4 weeks back ordered. I said thanks but no thanks. Then I called back a few hours later and was told basically the same thing you said. The drain tube is included and I would have to buy the water supply line from any home improvement store. Wow, what a difference a sales person makes. Thanks for the reply!!!
Did yrs come with a junction box already attached? I just took that dishwasher unit out to put another in. So my old one has that junction box. But the new one doesn’t. But has the moulding where it would go. So I’m wondering how to transfer it over? Nevermind the previous Bosch junction box doesn’t fit the new Bosch. Just took an electrical outlet box mounted near the bottom on the back wall behind dishwasher and plugged in the unit with the plug that came with it. Apparently they’ve done away with the hardwire junction boxes that are attached to the unit like the one in the video. Because they don’t want customers to play with electrical. They want an outlet in the wall and just plug it in. Done.
I had 2 options. 1 attach a female plug to the 120v wire/ a 125v/20amp one. That’s extra coverage. Or. 2. Electrical outlet box on the out side of the drywall and run the hardwire into box and connect to an electrical outlet. Then plug it in. With the plug that came with it. I went with #2
Good question. Bosch is generally quieter when it's running and is more reliable. This is their 100 series dishwasher, I would recommend the higher end 500 or 800 series if you can get one.
The two long screws provided for the kick plate do not fit the holes intended. The screws are too small and slide right in. Had to provide my own hardware to secure the kick plate on a 2022 model. Your video was a great step by step guide however, thx!
I set the feet lower than the counter height, slid it in under the counter, and then raised them little by little until I got it where I wanted it and then made sure it was level. Once it’s in it’s not too bad to raise the feet, the back one may be a little tricky to reach, but the front ones are very easy to raise while the dishwasher is in. Just use your other hand to lift the dishwasher a little to get some weight off the legs.
@@scott.charles.taylor do you need to worry about putting the screw into the back leg to stop it from moving? I need to lower the back leg to pull it out of the existing space, so once raised in the cabinet area, i won't be able to put the screw in the back leg.
@@scott.charles.taylor It's the same dishwasher that you installed in the video. I don't know how to attach a photo, but you can see the tubing in the "picture" of the video.
@@bethvye8183 I'd say it's an internal high-loop and to not worry about it. You can always refer to the manual online. For the dishwashers I've done, you ignore these.
I have this one. Mine slams shut and it only stays open at 150 angle. Is this normal? I can’t get the right answer, not even from Bosch. Shouldnt this be able to stay open even a couple inches?
Mine is the same way. The spring on the door is fairly tight, you may be able to adjust the spring. I usually leave the top rack out a little and that props the door open to dry out the dishes.
@@scott.charles.taylor thank you soooooo much for even responding! I couldn’t find a single person to ask who has this model. This model uses a rope with spring, the dishwasher tech said it can’t be adjusted. It seemed so odd that this dishwasher doesn’t open even a couple inches and it just slams shut. It stays open at 150 degrees, weird. :/ they said overtime that it may loosen up. Still seems odd but not much I can do.
I spent 3 hours today trying to install this same model. Man, talk about a major headache and a nightmare. Then my wife sends me this video. And thank god she did, your video here makes so much more sense than the crappy instructions that it came with. I got a question: any idea what that other hose is for, the one that loops up and then connects to nothing? Is it like some sorta overflow?
@@kevinwride6682 2 and a half years later, still haven’t figured out what it’s for, in fact I completely forgot about it. The dishwasher still works though. 😆
The open ended hose is a common hose found on both Dishwashers and Front Loading washing Machines. It is used because the inside compartment is air tight, so the Water Pump would have a very hard time fighting the increasing vacuum that is created as water is removed. The air hose lets air into the compartment to prevent a Vacuum forming while also staying above the water level height so that no water can leak out.
Installed mine yesterday. Has power, no leaks, but when I run a cycle, the soap never leaves the tray or dissolves. Everything inside gets wet, thing just keeps running forever but no cleaning. Any suggestions?
Sorry no part number for them at the moment. Drain hose should come with the dishwasher, and the water supply line and 90 degree elbow can be bought at any hardware store
Amazing tutorial, I am about to purchase a Bosch 100 series dishwasher and this was amazingly helpful. Way better than anything on Bosch's website. How does it do drying the dishes, because I see mixed reviews on that online. I know rinse aid helps a lot.
Current model has a plugin cord vs hardwired like the one shown in his video. You will need to purchase the hardwired kit. But you have probably figured that out already.
Did you forget that there is water in a dishwasher and that it knowing the correct water level is VERY important. An unlevel dishwasher may not have the correct amount of water filled. More important. If it tilts away from the drain, you could some old water stay inside after done. You want to level the dishwasher before you install it. It assumes that your floors in front of the dishwasher is level, but that assumption is safe. Assuming a countertop is level is not. Even if your counter top is level, you did not check the level as far as front and back. You also did not put in the screw for the back leg to keep it from moving as it is wiggled into place or vibrates during use. Put a bubble level on your rack and see if the back leg needs adjusting.
Great video! Right to the point and explained very nicely!! Nothing worse than someone who just tells you their life story while very little work is performed.
Lol glad it helped!
Good Job ! The written instructions were not clear, with your help, now I know everything I should get before starting the install.
I sure appreciate the time you took to thoroughly explain the installation process. I’ll be installing mine in a few days.
This is great! My brand new dishwasher came with no instructions! I knew how to hook everything else up except for the cabinet brackets.
Thanks for the vid!
Great video! Thank you! I'm going to attempt installation tomorrow. Wish me luck!!!
Good luck!
Helped a ton. Thanx a ton. The instruction book is terrible. Couldn't have done it without you
Glad it helped
well done, thanks! glad I watched this. this is about my 4th dishwasher install, but I still really needed these tips.
Great video! Helped me a lot with my installation that I completed today. Glad I watched a few times before diving in myself.
A few things about my 100 series:

That’s great to hear! Yup still enjoying it after 3 years
I think i can try installing it myself once i get mine delivered. It's the same unit as yours. Thanks for the great video!!

I like that you made a hole for the drainline at 33". Most people feed it below and then you have the chance of losing your high loop.
Thank you, it’s the small things that matter!
Wow, so simple, I wonder why I have ever paid to have a dishwasher installed. Thanks Scott, you just saved me 200$!

Fair enough, you may need an electrician and/or plumber in that case if your place is not set up for a dishwasher.
Just had one quick question! The tube on the left side of the dishwasher? What was that for? I’m trying to install mine but it has a connected tube on the left that I saw on yours and you didn’t do anything with said tube in the video?
You don't do anything with the tube on the left. It's part of the drain.
@@scott.charles.taylor Ahh! okay thank you so much :)
I was thinking of getting the same dishwasher in white. I was going to purchase online from Abt Electronics but they don't seem to have the correct install kit. Do you still have the part number of the installation kit?
Hi Steve, no I don't have the part number for the install kit. The dishwasher came with mostly everything, including the plastic drain tube. The only thing I had to buy was the water supply line and 90 degree elbow. You can usually get these kits at the big box stores!
Scott Taylor You know it all depends on the sales person you are dealing with. The first person told me I needed to buy a kit that was 4 weeks back ordered. I said thanks but no thanks. Then I called back a few hours later and was told basically the same thing you said. The drain tube is included and I would have to buy the water supply line from any home improvement store. Wow, what a difference a sales person makes. Thanks for the reply!!!
@@stevehood7045 Good luck!
Did yrs come with a junction box already attached? I just took that dishwasher unit out to put another in. So my old one has that junction box. But the new one doesn’t. But has the moulding where it would go. So I’m wondering how to transfer it over?
Nevermind the previous Bosch junction box doesn’t fit the new Bosch. Just took an electrical outlet box mounted near the bottom on the back wall behind dishwasher and plugged in the unit with the plug that came with it. Apparently they’ve done away with the hardwire junction boxes that are attached to the unit like the one in the video. Because they don’t want customers to play with electrical. They want an outlet in the wall and just plug it in. Done.
Hey, no mine did not come with a junction box, I had to hardwire it in. You may have to do the same with your junction box.
I had 2 options. 1 attach a female plug to the 120v wire/ a 125v/20amp one. That’s extra coverage. Or. 2. Electrical outlet box on the out side of the drywall and run the hardwire into box and connect to an electrical outlet. Then plug it in. With the plug that came with it. I went with #2
Hey Scott, seems to have 2 drain like or it's a air intake line.
Unsure of the question, there should only be one drain line :)
Do you use an air gap on the counter top?
No I didn't. It was not set up for one nor was it required
Thank you for the great DIY. BTW love the floor. Is that LVP?
Thank you! No it’s laminate flooring
Does this model have an optional power source to run the dishwasher in-line to a garbage disposal?
I’m not sure to be honest, the models change slightly depending on region/country, so I can’t say.
Super , thank you. But why Bosch? LG is cheaper and has more features?
Good question. Bosch is generally quieter when it's running and is more reliable. This is their 100 series dishwasher, I would recommend the higher end 500 or 800 series if you can get one.
The two long screws provided for the kick plate do not fit the holes intended. The screws are too small and slide right in. Had to provide my own hardware to secure the kick plate on a 2022 model.
Your video was a great step by step guide however, thx!
Glad to hear it helped!
Helpful video, though you might want to wear sturdy shoes when doing work like this.
Thanks!
No problem!
Whats the tube on the left? Condensation? Vent?
Yes, the hose on the side is just a condensation port that hooks up to the drain hose. You can just ignore it.
what is the open hose on the side of the dishwasher for
Without seeing it, I believe it’s part of the drain tube and should be left alone. I would recommend checking your instruction manual.
Did you figure it out?
Did you just estimate the adjustable feet and then flip it back to test, then do it again? Or just lucky it was good the first time?
I set the feet lower than the counter height, slid it in under the counter, and then raised them little by little until I got it where I wanted it and then made sure it was level. Once it’s in it’s not too bad to raise the feet, the back one may be a little tricky to reach, but the front ones are very easy to raise while the dishwasher is in. Just use your other hand to lift the dishwasher a little to get some weight off the legs.
@@scott.charles.taylor do you need to worry about putting the screw into the back leg to stop it from moving? I need to lower the back leg to pull it out of the existing space, so once raised in the cabinet area, i won't be able to put the screw in the back leg.
@@jwb0323 No, the screw in the back leg isn't necessary. The back leg is fairly easy to adjust once it's in place if you have skinny arms!
@@scott.charles.taylor thank you !!!
I see where the drain tube connects on the back, but there's another, what looks like, open drain tube on the side. What is that for?
Could be an internal "high-loop" on the side. Hard to see without a photo.
@@scott.charles.taylor It's the same dishwasher that you installed in the video. I don't know how to attach a photo, but you can see the tubing in the "picture" of the video.
@@scott.charles.taylor or is it the extension tubing? 😕
@@bethvye8183 I'd say it's an internal high-loop and to not worry about it. You can always refer to the manual online. For the dishwashers I've done, you ignore these.
Beth Vye I have the exact same question. Lowes was clueless when I asked them.
Thanks.
what‘s the model # it is？ I don’t think this is 100 Series. The control bar looks like different.
I think it’s the Bosch Ascenta Model # SHE3AR75UC
I'm about to purchase a Bosch 100 series dishwasher. How has yours been working so far?
So far it’s been great!
I have this one. Mine slams shut and it only stays open at 150 angle. Is this normal? I can’t get the right answer, not even from Bosch. Shouldnt this be able to stay open even a couple inches?
Mine is the same way. The spring on the door is fairly tight, you may be able to adjust the spring. I usually leave the top rack out a little and that props the door open to dry out the dishes.
@@scott.charles.taylor thank you soooooo much for even responding! I couldn’t find a single person to ask who has this model. This model uses a rope with spring, the dishwasher tech said it can’t be adjusted. It seemed so odd that this dishwasher doesn’t open even a couple inches and it just slams shut. It stays open at 150 degrees, weird. :/ they said overtime that it may loosen up. Still seems odd but not much I can do.
@@ChicAngelxox Hopefully it loosens up over time!
Thanks
I spent 3 hours today trying to install this same model. Man, talk about a major headache and a nightmare. Then my wife sends me this video. And thank god she did, your video here makes so much more sense than the crappy instructions that it came with. I got a question: any idea what that other hose is for, the one that loops up and then connects to nothing? Is it like some sorta overflow?
I believe it's some sort of internal high loop to prevent back-flow of dirty water, glad it helped :)
Figure out what this open ended hose on the side is?
@@kevinwride6682 2 and a half years later, still haven’t figured out what it’s for, in fact I completely forgot about it. The dishwasher still works though. 😆
The open ended hose is a common hose found on both Dishwashers and Front Loading washing Machines. It is used because the inside compartment is air tight, so the Water Pump would have a very hard time fighting the increasing vacuum that is created as water is removed. The air hose lets air into the compartment to prevent a Vacuum forming while also staying above the water level height so that no water can leak out.
Installed mine yesterday. Has power, no leaks, but when I run a cycle, the soap never leaves the tray or dissolves. Everything inside gets wet, thing just keeps running forever but no cleaning. Any suggestions?
Is the soap dispenser opening? Usually you can hear it snap open within the first 10 or so minutes of the cycle.
@@scott.charles.taylor It is not opening, thing will go for hours, when I check it, soap pod is exactly as I put it in.
@@AndyTargaryen You'll need to check with the store or manufacturer then, something isn't releasing the door as it should.
Any part #s for hoses and elbow
Sorry no part number for them at the moment. Drain hose should come with the dishwasher, and the water supply line and 90 degree elbow can be bought at any hardware store
@Scott Taylor in the thumbnail,that hose that's side the unit.Does it just stays like that or does goes connected somewhere
@@nunu6158 that side hose just stays like that
@@scott.charles.taylor thanks for the reply
Do you like your dishwasher
Yes it’s good! If I could do it again I would have gotten a higher end model however, for the stainless steel tub
Those tabs are supposed to be folder back not taken off from what I see in my instructions.
Either will work, if you fold it the stress of folding the metal will eventually break it.
Amazing tutorial, I am about to purchase a Bosch 100 series dishwasher and this was amazingly helpful. Way better than anything on Bosch's website. How does it do drying the dishes, because I see mixed reviews on that online. I know rinse aid helps a lot.
Drying seems fine, no complaints yet. I usually leave the door open after a cycle to let most of the moisture evaporate out.
I just bought that dishwasher and a power cord is now needed. It cannot be hard wired but great video otherwise.
Mine dosent have the metal electrical box on it ??????
Current model has a plugin cord vs hardwired like the one shown in his video. You will need to purchase the hardwired kit. But you have probably figured that out already.
The second tube on the side?!
It’s part of the drain loop, you don’t do anything with it.
@@scott.charles.taylor thank you!
How about wearing some protective shoes?
I don't wear shoes in my house
@@scott.charles.taylor We do too but when working with tools unexpected accident can happen like dropping a tool. Always safety FIRST for me.
Did you forget that there is water in a dishwasher and that it knowing the correct water level is VERY important. An unlevel dishwasher may not have the correct amount of water filled. More important. If it tilts away from the drain, you could some old water stay inside after done. You want to level the dishwasher before you install it. It assumes that your floors in front of the dishwasher is level, but that assumption is safe. Assuming a countertop is level is not. Even if your counter top is level, you did not check the level as far as front and back. You also did not put in the screw for the back leg to keep it from moving as it is wiggled into place or vibrates during use. Put a bubble level on your rack and see if the back leg needs adjusting.
Al good points!
Mine won't even open and doesn't come with a drain hose. Pissed
I got it open, is it normal you have to pry it open? The lever notch seems caved in
Bosch does not honor their warranty. I have a $550 repair that I had to pay.
