How to install a new dishwasher correctly
When installing a dishwasher, remember dishwasher manufacturers like Frigidaire dishwashers, GE dishwashers, Whirlpool dishwashers, Maytag, LG, Samsung etc., don’t tell you to buy a dishwasher connection kit, which has required dishwasher installation plumbing accessories.
how to install dishwasher hose connections
This dishwasher plumbing kit is called a Universal Dishwasher Water Connection Kit' The dishwasher kit comes with the water supply hose to connect your new dishwasher to the water shutoff valve under your kitchen sink cabinet. The dishwasher kit also includes the 90-degree hose adapter, which completes the dishwasher plumbing connection to the hose that comes with the kit. This is only the first half of the dishwasher plumbing hookup
how to install a dishwasher and wire up dishwasher connections
The other dishwasher kit item you need but new dishwasher manufacturers like Frigidaire dishwashers, GE dishwashers, Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung etc., don’t tell you is the power cord, with wire nuts and Romex wire connector clamp. This is the second part of the dishwasher hookup, for the power cord.
How to hookup dishwasher hoses and dishwasher connections
Next comes the dishwasher drain hose, which must be connected as a high loop to the garbage disposal under the kitchen cabinet. Whenever you hookup dishwasher hoses, all the plumbing and electrical connections have to be completed according to Uniform Plumbing Codes and the National Electric code. Installing dishwashers does require the proper knowledge and connecting hoses and power cords up correctly, or you really bad results can happen. You must study and learn how to install dishwasher connections properly.
Dishwasher install tips and tricks
When you install new dishwashers, the next task is you drill holes under the kitchen counter side wall to accommodate the hookup dishwasher plumbing connections and feed all the dishwasher hoses and the dishwasher power cord through, then push the dishwasher into place. when you install dishwasher grain hoses, make sure you form the high loop inside the cabinet, and the hose must reach all the way up to the underside of the cabinet. This is what you need to learn so you'll know how to install dishwashers correctly. We hope you enjoyed this how to install dishwasher UA-cam video.

Jeff, nice job. ironically, i just install the same dishwasher
last Fri. in one of my rentals. $ 288.00 plus tax at Lowe's
here in CA. also, hard to hear you at times over the music.
Thank you for the video but please no music.
4 years later you just solved my issue. Going fix the drain hose now. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the music off. Great video very helpful.
We have a newer video link is in description
every time they change the code or something else but it makes since and has help to remind my older soul just how things are different and yes I still am catching up with things around me, Thanks for the help
This is the very best dishwasher install video I've been able to find anywhere in UA-cam... did my check-off list and I'm ready to go... Excellent!!! thumbs UP!
Glad it was helpful!
From protips about dishwashers, to pro tips about editing videos, just wanted to thank you for yhese videos, but just wanted to give you a tip, on the editing software you want to lower the volume of the background music to a point that you can barely hear it while you're talking, and gradually raise the volume when you're not, and gradually reduce it before you start talking again, of if you dont have too much time to edit, or your editor doesnt allow you to do that, just lower the music enough to barely hear it through the whole video, I hope these tips help you on future videos, and again, thanks for sharing these very helpful videos!
Yes, we use much better techniques and even spent $4,000 on a 4k camera and lapel mic now, this video was done a year ago, and look at our newer videos from tool reviews and repairs that we uploaded the last month, night and day difference in production quality. We plan to redo this video in the near future.
@@jeffostroff nice! I Will, I subscribed too, really good content 😎👍🏻
I've never installed a dishwasher in my life. Your video covered everything possible. Thank you so very much !!!
You are so welcome!
I've been a loyal fan of your tool videos for a couple years but this is my first viewing of your DIY. Background music for instructional videos would have made me tell UA-cam to not recommend your videos in my feed. I'm glad I started with tools.
See our newer upgraded re-filmed 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
Thank you so much from bangladesh, you are a life saver ! I was confused of letting the drain pipe turn high over the lower end of the sink.
you have saved my newly build kitchen from making some weird additional holes at the bottom sink.
Awesome, glad to help!
Thank you for teaching us how to properly fit the dishwasher drain hose!! This is the first thing all diy homeowners should learn/know!
Glad it was helpful!
The music is in the way.
We have an upgraded 4K resolution video of installing dishwashers without all the background music it's better and shorter than this please watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
How can anyone thumbs down this video? I just needed a good tip to do my high loop for the home inspection. I’m a general contractor.
haters gonna hate!
A very fine video.
it is the distracting music.
Dude o my God, thank you!!! there was a plug in our garbage disposal now the dishwasher is draining .... God bless you ❤️
You're welcome!!
Know nothing about proper installs, so cannot critique technique. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic instructional video. I think this is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen on youtube, and I’ve watched dozens (if not a hundred). I was only interested in changing the high loop hose on my dishwasher and was so intrigued that I watched this whole video. The music volume gets slightly competitive with the spoken word. Great production overall. Thanks.
Yes we plan to re shoot another one someday soon whether the 4K resolution and better cameras microphones and audio so than what we had at the time that we shot this video
I looked up this video to see if I was correct when I saw the drain hose on my mom’s dishwasher being hooked up to the garbage disposal was wrong, and sure enough, you confirmed my suspicions. I was more concerned with the verticality and how that wouldn’t seem like it would drain, but you gave another reason. Thank you!
Awesome glad to help
From all the videos I think this is the best. True the plumber does not do it this way.
Nice and detailed explanation on the high side loop. That really helps. Thank you.
Nicely done Jeff!! That’s exactly how it supposed to be done!! Very professional!
thanks Alberto, glad to help out
nicely done. liked your explanation for why you need a high loop or air gap and highlighting the building code detail.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video!
It was good/ important to know about high loop.nice informative video👍
very good video. extreme detail and appreciate you showing the codes and backing up what you say. i was always concerned dishwashers don't provide enough force/pressure to carry on through the high side loop @ 32" height; you have shown its not an issue. thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Dan
Just had the big box store install the dishwasher...what a mess...I will attach the host up high as is in your video...my dishwasher was not put all the way back into the cabinet...telling me that my new dishwasher is larger than my old one...I checked the dimensions and they're the same!!! What a lot of BS.. The dimension are pretty universal.....the supervisor of the installation company is supposed to come to inspect it...boy do I have a lot to tell him about how to install a dishwasher after watching your video... Their installers need to go to a class to learn how to install a dishwasher...I seriously think I could have done it myself.! OMG...This was my third attempt to get a dishwasher...first one it wasn't on the truck...the driver told the boss he left it in my garage??? and that the plumbing was not good enough to work with. (they never looked under my sind)..it'a all new plumbing. It was never on the truck!! (maybe it fell off the truck "somewhere"!! Second one came and the machine was damaged, So now the third one came today...what a mess. I think that they never were careful about the hose and the wired when they shoved it back in the opening and so it isn't in far enough... same deal with my stove that they installed...said that it couldn't be pushed back due to the gas line. (also smelled gas a little) ...my son-in-law came and fixed it..he's a Fire Chief so I know now that the stove is installed correctly....what a headache...never again!! Thanks for the video!!
I noticed this happening years ago and as of 2017 I vowed never allow any home depot contractors to come in to do any work for us.
Thank you. I was so confused before this video.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Very much so wish the music wasn't going while ur still teaching but thanks for the video I liked and subscribed
Thanks for the sub! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ See our newer upgraded re-filmed 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
Yes I just went and got a extension drain and water supply hoses I’m just hoping the dishwasher can push that far away...thanks for taking your time out to help me with this very appreciated
Let us know how that works out, I've never seen anyone go that far yet.
Very informative. Have to DIY installation of my dishwasher. Let's see how it goes
Did it work?
@@jeffostroff yes indeed. i only managed to do it 2 days before, test run for 1 day to see any water leakage. worked fine.
for now i have been collecting drain in a bucket. since there is no leakage in inlet water connections, now i will connect it to the garbage disposal
Great video, was not going to tackle this job and just let a pro do it, but with your video i feel confident enough to do it myself. thank you. fyi pros near by want $300 for this install along with a garbage disposal.
Wow, $300 is a lot of money you'll save with this one!
Thank you for providing this video this is the best video I’ve seen. Very thorough and provides helpful side information too! It allow me to install my dishwasher my self without having the pay extra money to the big box to install. Thank you again!
Awesome, thanks Ang, did you see our notice on the video description: ⚠️⚠️⚠️ See our upgraded 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
I just installed my first dishwasher the help of this video. Thanks Jeff 😀
Great job John!
Great video, you explain things very well but the music is way to loud. After the hose install it went away and came back a little quieter 😂
Thanks so much for the how to video. My husband and I are in route to buy the universal hose. Here's hoping we can get my dishwasher connected.
Glad it was helpful!
At my apartment and this is happening to me rn. Thanks for the video.
Great video for the most part. . . just an fyi though the hose, supply and cord go through the same hole. You don't need separate holes for connections in the sidewall of your cabinet or at the very least I have never ran across one that all 3 weren't in the same hole.
Came for a dishwasher how-to-video, little did I know I was going to join a plumbing rave techno party. BEEEWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW TIKAAA BOOWWWWWOOOOWWWW. Thanks for the video Jeff, I'll check out the updated 4k shorter one too.
Awesome, glad you liked it Greg!
This video is incredibly helpful. I’m hooking up a small dishwasher in my apartment and this saved me hours of googling and making sure I’m doing it correctly. Saved and ready to watch as I install!
Glad it helped!
You are so helpful. There's only one other Jeff and he's in Canada, so it's not really cheating. 😄 Thanks so much!
I love his channel too!
Nice job, I ‘m installing my new dishwasher myself today. Thank You
Great, I hope this helps you with your install!
You're videos are very helpful and informative. In this one, the music was louder than you are, and serves only to distract from your good presentation and information. Keep up the good work, and my humble suggestion would be to kill the music.
you did not see the link in the description to the newly reshot video we made
I really like the clear sink pipes shown at time 22:57. I have never seen those before.
Do not buy those clear P traps ever! We have found out since then that these crack very easily for no apparent reason there's apparently manufacturing problems with them and all the manufacturers have bad reviews if you look on Home Depot into Amazon stick to the white opaque P traps they are 100% reliable
@@jeffostroff Hello, Jeff. Thank you for the warning about the clear pipes. :)
I came to learn about installing an air loop. Very informative, I know more about the entire process.
Awesome glad to help out
Outstanding instruction and explanation. I learned a lot, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! We also have a newer version we filmed a few months ago, See our upgraded 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
I Have an issue with the drain line. The installer for my dishwasher wouldnt install because the drain hose is between cabinets and doesnt have some sort of special extension from the disposal to the included drain hose from the dishwasher. Is there a special extension for this? They want me to hire a plumber to come in and install this. Seems like something easy if I know what parts I need to do this.
Not sure what special extension they are talking about. Maybe the hose from the dishwasher to the disposal does not just plug onto the disposal so it needs an adapter, not sure what he's saying. Look at this part from Home depot, this could be what he is saying you need.
Very very detailed and explain why it suppose to be installed certain way. Camera and taking was very clear. I love it. Thanks. I have high pressure wash machine and it is not working. Do you have any video?
No, other appliance we have we uploaded a few weeks ago on how to fix a washing machine that fills with water buy won't agitate. What happened to your pressure washer?
Great video! especially about high side loop!
Glad you liked it!
Jus body I just wanna said, thank you very much for all your videos, you been a really good help, I just started working this year as a handyman! I still learning form people like you!! One quick question! How much should I charge for this job?
I think home depot and Lowes charge $100 for an install. It can take 2 hours
thank you a good refresher before my project
Thanks for watching, and glad to help!
Best video on the subject, Thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked it Julio!
Pro tip: put discharge hose behind garbage disposal to go higher sooner and it's out of the way when you put stuff under the sink like dishwasher soap.
Good idea
Great video. Putting it to use next week. Will also be putting in a GFI outlet as well.
Good luck with it Michael!
Very informative! Thanks for sharing this information 👏👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT informative video! The music is nice but mixed in a little loud in places. Makes it a little hard to hear the instruction. Nonetheless, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Sorry about that, did you see our note in the description? See our upgraded 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, we shot it in 4K video in January, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
Great informative video, however dump the music, I couldn't understand what he was saying at times because the music was so loud. Thanks for the info
You didn't see the notice in the video description we have a better filmed version?
@@jeffostroff I guess I didn't, good to know, thanks
Hi Jeff. Regarding the dual-head water valve, do you have an installation vid. specifically showing how to install that? If yes, please send. Would very much appreciate.
Can’t thank you enough for this vid. The detail-oriented breakdown has given me the confidence to reference both the IM and this vid. for my home installation. For those without paternal or professional guidance to fall back on, this is the bridge. Again, thank you south. Have a great day.
Yes, we have a video for that here: ua-cam.com/video/_0ziKhjwwe8/v-deo.html it also has links in the description to all the dual valves, wrenches, and parts use din the video
Very detailed video.Thank you.
Very good instructions, and helpful hints. That said, couldn’t you at least spring for a dishwasher that is stainless steel inside and out? I realize it’s a rental property, but come on Man!
$50,000 condo. this was a $200 dishwasher, the stianless internal tub models start at $500. Not going to do it.
Thanks, your video is easy and thorough. Helped me out and new tips.
Very insightful video thanks for your work.
I would lose the music tho, it’s sometime louder than your voice

Thanks for your video to figure out my Frigidaire has proplem in drain water to low i appreciate your positive advise. THANKS
Not sure what you mean by "drain water to low "
I enjoy your video, however the background music drowns out your instructional comments, FYI.
I guess you didn't see the note in the description that we have a much better improved video that we re shot in 4K resolution and the audio levels are a lot more the way you would expect them to be look for the link there in the video description.
If this were a Broadway musical the audio mix would be perfect.
If you had noticed the video description, we have a newer video re shot on 4k, better audio
Great ,every essential point, pointed out. So much informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Very thorough and helpful instructions. Thanks!
Thank Jeff nice video I'm ready!!!
You and me both!
Hard to hear some parts with the music. Good video though. Very helpful 👍
thanks! very detailed
Glad to help and thanks for watching
I do not have a garbage disposal, connecting the drain to the drain pipe from the sink is OK as long as I provide the wye fitting and proper vertical loop?
Also, after purchasing the dishwasher I called the appliance store to ask if it needs to be hard-wired or plug-in. They told me hard wired, so I ran a new wire and did not provide a receptacle. I assume this is OK and not a violation of any code? I don't need to cut back into the drywall just to add a receptacle?
Great video! But agreed with most other comments, music a bit loud at times
Hardwired or receptacle is fine either way, both are allowed by code. I prefer a receptacle, but it must be it's own 20 amp circuit you may have to run a new circuit from the electrical panel. Often times, they run the garbage disposal and the dishwasher to the same duplex receptacle, then snip the tab to make each of the 2 plugs on the receptacle independent, with their own 20 amp circuit. Then in the electrical panel, you put them side by side with a pin connecting them as a double throw switch, so when you turn one on, or off, the other goes on or off. This protects you form working on the outlet and having one of the 2 circuits still on. As for the dishwasher hose, yes you can connect it to a Plastic Dishwasher Branch Tailpiece from Home Depot, here is the link: www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-2-in-x-8-in-Plastic-Dishwasher-Branch-Tailpiece-PP931-8PVC/304826866?MERCH=REC-_-searchViewed-_-NA-_-304826866-_-N
Thanks for the video, especially the code requirement on the exhaust water pipe connection into the disposal. Super helpful. I have 2 questions. 1) I notice that your replacement unit have a plug that plug into a receptacle, no doubt being protected by GFCI circuit. My replacement unit however would be a hardwire unit. There is a discussion on the web if a GFCI branch breaker is required for hardwire unit. The latest NEC seems that it is required. What's your thought on this? 2) I notice that you connect the supply waterline to the hot water side. Is this a requirement or can it be connected to a cold water line? Many thanks in advance for your reply.
Yes the national electric code requires those circuits to now be GFC I protected and the best way to do that really is with the GFCI Breakers in the electrical panel. you never want to connect up your dishwasher to the cold water you always want to connect it to the hot water because you need hot water to make that water hot inside there so when you use a hot water cycle it won't have to sit there and heat up the water forever before it starts , and if you give it cold water who knows whether it will even be able to heat it up to where it needs to be.
@@jeffostroff Thanks for your comment.
Your background music is a bit too loud. Appreciated if you can lower the sound level. Highly appreciate your demonstration. Very well done. Thanks.

Perfect Logan, we uploaded a video on this a couple of months ago: How to Install Water Shutoff Valves In kitchen Sink 1/4 Turn Valve ua-cam.com/video/_0ziKhjwwe8/v-deo.html
Thumbs up. Great explanation and I happen to have the exact model as your dishwasher. Thanks 🙏
Awesome that was a great deal on that dishwasher as well, we thought that as part of the whole package set for the kitchen we bought the fridge the stove and a microwave oven.
Thank you very much! This video was helpful. The hole in my cabinet is at the bottom as well. Couldn't the dishwasher high loop issue be solved if the cabinet's hole was at the top?????
Yes and no! Yes that would be the correct height to bring in the hose from up high. No it's not allowed, because the manufacturers tell you not to, because there is only space at the bottom of the dishwasher to pass hoses. If you try to pass hoses up high behind the dishwasher, they will get pinched between the dishwasher and the wall.
@@jeffostroff Ok. Two holes then! Right? Lol :) Thanks so much, this was very helpful.
would be better with no music. hard to hear you but great video. thanks

I have 2 things with existing dishwasher. At home I realized after years installed by HD, the hose hole and the hose are very high, a bit higher than garbage disposal. There is no high loop in this case.
On my kid's condo, they just left an air gab dangling under kitchen cabinet sink - connecting to the garbage disposal. Granite counter did not have an air gab hole drilled and we are not getting one. I am thinking just to cap off the air gab somehow so the whole thing become on continuous hose from DW to disposal with high loop to be applied. Or I can simply remote the air gab and rubber draining hose, and just use DW hose connects directly to the disposal.
If you are not in WI, you don't need an air gap, most states do not require one they are ugly. I usually get my high loop one of 2 ways. 1) run discharge hose through bottom of cabinet, then up the wall of the cabinet, to the bottom of the counter, than curve back down to the garbage disposal. 2) Like the HD guys did, you make the hole at the top of the inside of the cabinet between the sink and dishwasher, so running the hose up to that hole, it arrive sin the cabinet just below counter level, then you curve it back down to garbage disposal. As long as you are above the garbage disposal you're OK. I don't like their method so much because most dishwasher makers have explicit instructions to follow where you can and cannot runt he hoses to get them into the cabinet.
@@jeffostroff The hose is too short to run down and up to make a loop to the disposal not sure I will have to replace it which involves taking the DW out. Will see. So far no backup cross finger.
Did you have a close up of the green screw? Did you put the washer on first (against box) or on top of the ground wire?
⚠️⚠️⚠️ See our upgraded 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html it shows good closeups of the green screw
Hi Jeff love your video and how you take your time to explain every step in installing a dishwasher. When drilling the hole for the dishwasher drain why not drill at the top of the cabinet? This would insure the dishwasher drain is higher than the connection to the plumbing or disposal preventing backup. The same principal also applies when installing a garbage disposal. Also it is important to note the electrical outlet under the sink must be GFCI or chain linked from another GFCI.
Ernest the instructions on almost all dishwashers don't want you to run the hose up high inside the cavity of the dishwasher because it could interfere or pinch would the edge of the dishwasher. So they want you to run it through where their space down below like I did and you can see I run the hose up the wall inside the kitchen sink cabinet bringing it up to the counter top. Also with electrical outlets when you have a dishwasher and the garbage disposal on the same outlet as a dual use, there really is no way to make that a GFCI.
@@jeffostroff Thank you for your detailed answer I installed my dishwasher drain hose as you instructed. The drain is 32 inches high 10 inches higher than the connection to the garbage disposal providing a really good pitch. I also installed a GFCI outlet under the sink to plug the disposal and dishwasher into. I am using a wireless transmitter/receiver made for disposals to turn the disposal on/off. Works great no wires. If I could I would send you a picture.
Thanks Good explain
Glad it helped
Installed a new Frigidaire dishwasher today; however, the water is not entering the unit. It's not my first installation and I did go completely by the book. I used the same cabinet space that held the old dishwasher. Why would the water inlet valve not accept water from the supply line, other than perhaps it's defective from the manufacturer?
Good question. Test the water supply line first by seeing if it shoots out water,. Once connected back up, be sure to turn the water supply back on. IF you get that hose to shoot water, then the dishwasher has a hard time opening the water inlet valve. So the problem is either the water supply or the water inlet
Those Waco clamps are cool, cheers!
Very useful video
Glad you think so!
I notice you installed the hot water supply line but further in the video I notice what looks like a line going from the cold into the washer space....?
good video but hard to hear you talk. i recommend turning down the disco music in background. thanks

30:55 Did you screw directly into the granite top? What screws size are they? Where did you purchase those screws? Thanks.
My granite guy always makes for me a piece of wood attached tot he bottom of the granite counter, and it is sanded down and flush with the bottom of the counter. Looks like I am screwing the wood screw into the granite, but it is really going into the wood piece. Regular self tapping wood screw about 3/4" long.
Great video. I have an air gap set up. The water is flowing into my dishwasher. I have no clogs, installed a new air gap. I ran my dishwasher drain hose like you did and created a high loop that is just above the air gap.
I took the dishwasher apart and cleaned all the pump drain area. Had some corn kernels and small debris I thpught could keep the back flow rubber check valve open. Cleaned the rubber check valve and it wasn't broken. Yet I'm still getting water flow back settling into dishwasher....drain flow isn't hampered. I can't figure what is wrong...amy tips
The only thing I can think of that would cause that is if you had strawd a new garbage disposal and forgot to remove the plug. If you forget to punch out that plastic Plug on the Side of the garbage disposal where the dishwasher plugs in, then when the dishwasher tries to drain it goes nowhere and goes right back inside the dishwasher.
@@jeffostroff the plug is removed. I believe it's a failing water inlet valve. I thought the water was filling off the air gap and I incorporated a high loop. All lines are clear. Water slowly fills in the dishwasher when the facet runs. I noticed the water port on interior of dishwasher had slight drip flow when i turn on the facet. It's a failing water inlet valve. It's the only pc that is between the water port and water line. $60..not bad.
@@fritzhiser4659 At least you are able to diagnose it that's pretty good
@@jeffostroff getting the part tomorrow. If it works I'll let you know. I believe it's the issue
Very helpful thank you
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
If sanitation was a concern, why do they provide ribbed waste pipes that can collect dishwasher debris?
I have always wondered that myself. I guess because it is pumped out by the dishwasher it does move with some force. But there is hardly any food at all in the discharge, as any solid chunks don't get past the chopper filter of the dishwasher, or if you have the other type of base filter, then food gets trapped by the filter.
Great video and tutorial. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thank you!
Maybe I missed it but I’m curious about the benefit of the dual traps?
Dual traps keeps the water separate until it's in the vent. For this sink I did not want to do a horizontal arm from the garbage disposal to meet up with a T-connection below the sink, which would result in only one trap. On the next one, we'll probably revert back to the standard one trap model. this was just one of many ways to do the plumbing. If you look at most modern kitchens with 2 sinks that were designed for 2 sinks, they each have their own trap into the wall, where they lead into the vent.
I see. Thanks again for the tips. Well done under that sink, it looks good!
@@jeffostroff i thought code prohibited more than 1 trap on a trap arm? Won't one siphon the other dry?
Awesome video and very helpful 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Would be even better without the music. It makes the talking hard to hear at times.
Sorry about that ⚠️⚠️⚠️ See our newer upgraded re-filmed 4K dishwasher installation video, no background music, shorter than this, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/0EoofD0ZcJg/v-deo.html
Most dishwashers now a days have a high side loop on it already have you noticed it on the side
Hey I'm hoping you are around!? My stubborn know it all boyfriend is about to take out the highloop on the drain hose bc it's not draining. We don't have a garbage disposal. The only thing I'm seeing is that the highloop is necessary?? Any advice?🙏🙏
Edit: Its an older GE. Newly installed.
Brandi you MUST have the high side loop, it is required by plumbing codes, and all dishwasher manufacturers tell you in the installation instructions to use it and it does work. The hose should run up tot he bottom of your counter, then back down to the down pipe from the drain and connect to your down pipe from the drain if you don't have a garbage disposal. This is the part it needs to connect into: homedepot.sjv.io/jWXqmv
Thank you so much! Great job

My current drain for my dishwasher is a 1/2” copper pipe that emerges from the rear wall in my washer alcove. How do I hook up to that?
Great video.. this helped me a lot.
Nice presentation. Just had a kitchen reno done and now the dishwasher is farther from the sink. However the water lines and drain pipe are in the basement almost under the dishwasher. Can I connect directly to the water line under the floor (with a shut-off) and to the drain line also much nearer than the sink. Is this feasible and not violating code?
I would just make sure you can easily get to these connections so you can monitor them for leaks.
@@jeffostroff Thanks Jeff. Yes. Open ceiling below...utility room.
Instructive video, thank you! However, you might want to fix the CC subtitles... Instead of saying "Hello my DIY friends", it says: "Hello, my idea of white friends". Had to do a double-take!
That's youtube's automatic close captioning, which stinks
I noted several places in the captions where some proof reading would be very wise.
I agree 100% on those ugly air-gaps.
that alone would keep me from moving to Wisconsin where they are required
@@jeffostroff Ha, I got new countertops and ditched the air-gap.
Question concerning the hot water hose. Do you form a loop underneath the bottom of the dishwasher when sliding it back in to take up the slack or do you prefer to do the loop under the sink if the hose is a little long?
I try to keep the hose straight on the floor under the dishwasher all the way back to the hole, then form the high loop under the kitchen cabinet.
Great explanation and very thorough. Thanks for your help< Jeff!
Not good in Illinois :
Section 890.770 Dishwashing Machines
a) Domestic Dishwasher (Private Residence). When a domestic dishwashing machine drain line is connected to the house side of a trap from a sink, the drain from the dishwasher shall be carried up to the underside of the spill rim of the sink. Dishwashing machines shall discharge separately into a trap or tail piece of the kitchen sink and shall not connect to the food waste disposal unit.
Dang at sucks that is really archaic and Chicago has some strange additions to the plumbing code. I know other States like Wisconsin make you use that ugly over the counter air gap that sits on top of the counter. BUMMER
