Good job young man . I think it has to be remembered by others that any video of this nature Is sooo much more helpful than reading a pdf . And when things are not 100% correct .. that is just the real world. Very helpful . Thank you for posting
Hey thank you! Glad it was helpful and I agree that’s the point of this… just a video guide to get dishwasher installed without breaking out the manual. I’m not a professional handyman, just a guy who needed to replace his dishwasher. 😂 Have a great evening!
I'll be installing an 800 series in a few days and was a bit flummoxed by the instructions. They seemed a lot hard than I thought they would. Your video helped me understand those instructions a lot more. Thanks!
agreed with the comment from@MrKidQueso - much easier to install a dedicated outlet and just simply plug it in. Now, this is extremely rare, but my buddies 14 year old Bosch shorted out and caught fire while running, no damage (other than the DW obviously) but he had to race downstairs and cut the breaker. If you just installed an outlet (easier than that box and a LOT less expensive) you simply just 'unplug' it in case of emergency however rare it may happen. Otherwise - good video and yes the rear screw is to 'level' the dishwasher. You basically just turn it until you feel resistance and the dishwasher will be level front to back, then just adjust the two front ones to level side to side, though I'd do that one first.
Ill put a little lube on the adjustable feet so they turn easier.. I fought that with my old DW.. Nice video, Ill watch it when my new DW gets delivered.
Great video, thanks The rest is for anyone that reads comments: I’d add electrical tape to the tools as it is helpful to tape over the wire nuts for added safety. I know it’s a year later, but I wondered, why not install an outlet? The Bosch junction box used sounds expensive and a larger item to tuck back in there. I recently installed a 500 series, hoping to find the wires to hard-wire the dishwasher. Looks like it would have entailed opening up the manufacture’s casing. I just added an outlet to the source available as in this video, added the Bosch cord provided and plugged the machine in.
Thank you so much, this is an extremely helpful video, the only one I needed to watch to adjust the height on a previously installed Bosch dishwasher. Thanks for the help!
Just stumbled upon this video in 11/29/24. Just bought an 800 series and will be installing it when I pick it up. Did anyone ned to screw in the sides to the cabinets?
If you research that hardwire junction box kit that you have used you will find several occasions were the wiring and terminals have melted inside that box. Best to add single receptacle and use the supplied plug. My two cents…
Thanks for sharing. I looked into it a bit, and it sounds like a poor design on Bosch’s end, but from what I found the best way to prevent if you did use this junction box is to ensure the connection is very tight on those screws.
@@skylermccrary Personally I don’t feel comfortable using their hardwire kit. I will just add a receptacle and use their supplied plug. I would monitor that junction box, again my two cents.
Thanks for sharing, I will keep an eye on it. I would even consider switching to the supplied power cable based on your warning and the pics I saw online, but I threw it away already -_-
@@skylermccraryBosch also notes that the junction box is not to be secured directly behind the dishwasher. Their installation guide notes it is to be off to the side. Obviously, if you didn’t have room for it elsewhere, you didn’t have room.
Thanks for posting the video So you had plenty of room with that electric box being in the wall behind the dish washer? I’m planning on having the box behind my dishwasher too.
I guess that junction box is something new? did it come with the dishwasher or was that a special order, they must realized to have to put an outlet could be a problem,
It comes with a regular outlet out of the box, but when purchasing they ask if you want to buy the optional junction box. I opted for it because my house already had the electric line ran to the dishwasher and a dedicated breaker for it that I didn’t want to leave unused. So you can do either way with these models.
I saw a video from Bosch that recommended using Auto for best results. So I just use Auto on the wash option, and if you have the 500 I also enable Auto Air which allows the door to pop open to vent after it finishes running.
Hi, thanks for this! Question, I only have two wires coming out of the back wall and I see the adaptor box has 3 inserts. I only have a red and a white wire. Wondering what I need to do to make it work. Thank you!
I have this dishwasher but don’t get fooled. I had a $550 repair that Bosch would not pay even though it was in warranty. We are finished with the Bosch Company.
you aint lyin about that 3/4 hose adapter being finicky. took me a dozen tries before it seated right. thought for sure I was going to muck up the threads. why can't manufacturers leave connections alone? Or at the very least put a brass thread connection on the back instead of plastic. I don't know what I would done if I ruined the connection in the back, doesn't look replaceable.
@@steve6969-v8t Bosch recommends connecting to cold. "we do recommend connecting the appliance to cold water unless you have an energetically favourable means of generating energy from a suitable installation, e.g. solar heating system with circulation line. Our dishwashers have a heat pump, which regulates the temperature of the water according to the selected programme."
Tilt it up almost on its face (have someone hold it on the other side). Once it was tipped up and I could get a near straight down angle on it, I was able to get it straight on.
Hey one question.. do we keep that insulation or foam kind of cover which is blueish color in yours on the back and side of dishwasher . Mine came with same but in greenish color so i was thinking to remove it
Thsi video is backwards so your tightening looks like untightening. Also the connection to the brass 90 degree uses a compression fitting and does not need teflon tape.
Someone usaedthe junction box Guess what happened catch fire and I just connecting the old fashion way with wire nuts you don’t need the junction box. That’s my personal experience. Make sure all screws are tight if you going to use the junction box.
You don’t need tape,there’s an O-ring in there that you might damage if you tighten it too tight though,a Common mistake
This comment was helpful to me. Thank you.

Installed my 800 today, 10/30/24. Replaced a 14 year old Bosch. I'm 78 yrs old.
did u connect water hose to the Hot Or Cold valve under the sink?

Suggest you turn on water to check for leaks PRIOR to pushing dishwasher in place.

Bosch recommends installing the junction box in a side cabinet not directly behind the dishwasher.
This is where I just messed up lol I should have read these comments
It gets unbelievably hot, that back panel.

Bro you made this seem so easy to do. Thank you! Im about to do this install soon.
Installed yesterday. Easy process! Thank you for this video 👍
Thanks! I'm receiving my new dishwasher soon. Your video is very helpful.

Hey Sky,
Thank you.
Does it make sense to secure a Bosch with BOTH the alternate side mount and top mount?

Junction box, receptacle, and cover plate is quick, easy, and cheap. Installed a box with a GFCI for safety.

Good. Would appreciate further demo on how to select different wash and dry cycles...soooo many buttons.....

he isnt lying about the feet. started to chip the plastic til I was able to get a wrench in there
Is the line under the handle protective plastic that needs to be peeled off? I’m noticing it on mine
Yep!
@@skylermccrary thanks! Had it for a few months and just noticed when a spot started to peel on the side
Did you ever connect up the home connect? I cant seem to get it to work.

How to tell the hubby he installed my Bosch all wrong without actually telling him? I’ll make sure your video shows up in his feed. 😂
You only use Teflon tape on NPT threads, no reason to use it where you did.
Good to know, thanks.
I have this dishwasher but don’t get fooled. I had a $550 repair that Bosch would not pay even though it was in warranty. We are finished with the Bosch Company.
@@jimmypickett9912what was the repair? Why won’t they pay?
@@jimmypickett9912what was the repair & why would they not cover it under warranty?

Pro tip.. when sliding the dishwasher drainage boot, apply a little bit of hand soap. It slides on very easily.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Good job Skyler. Appreciate it.
You can use a 10mm socket to level the rear, much easier than the flathead
I had my Bosch Benchmark installed and there is a black flap hanging down on one side in front of the kickplate Should this be there? Help!

Or at the very least put a brass thread connection on the back instead of plastic. I don't know what I would done if I ruined the connection in the back, doesn't look replaceable.
yes, such a bad design. You can make your whole machine unusable because of these super easy to strip threads. Very easy fail point during install.
WATER connects to HOT or Cold valve under the sink?
Well, I would think you would want the hot water 🤣🤣🤣
@@steve6969-v8t Bosch recommends connecting to cold. "we do recommend connecting the appliance to cold water unless you have an energetically favourable means of generating energy from a suitable installation, e.g. solar heating system with circulation line.

How’d you resolve the cross thread issue on the water supply connection on the back of the dishwasher?
Tilt it up almost on its face (have someone hold it on the other side). Once it was tipped up and I could get a near straight down angle on it, I was able to get it straight on.
Clips went the opposite way on mine. Ended up scratching the top the way you had them in.

My bosch dishwasher came with an aqua stop. How do you remove it to use the regular 3/8 water line? Anyone know? Thank you so much
I ended up cutting a 2x3” hole in cabinet wall and used what Bosch supplied. multi-tool made it quick and easy
Hey one question.. do we keep that insulation or foam kind of cover which is blueish color in yours on the back and side of dishwasher
. Mine came with same but in greenish color so i was thinking to remove it
Yes leave it in place. It is there to insulate the noise and keep it quiet. If you remove it your dishwasher will be louder while washing.
Thanks Dawg

Does the junction box come with the dishwasher upon delivery or did you buy that accessory separately? Thank you in advance!
Separate purchase.
Thanks
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped 🙂
Teflon tape should not be used on that water fitting
The instructions literally say don't use teflon tape lmao
I didn’t tell anyone to do it I just did it 😂😬
And not a level in sight.
Please work on your camera skills.
