I installed the new dishwasher last night. This was really easy to do, and even easier had I known that the new dishwasher doesn't come with a water inlet line and electrical wire. I had removed those with the old dishwasher and had to go remove them from that dishwasher and hook them back up before I could get the new one installed. Other than that, its very straight forward.
Here are some pics of the process.
The new dishwasher, yay.
The dishwasher cubby hole.
Yay, manuals printed on recycled paper.
The energy guide rating rates the unit as being used with the heated dry cycle on which is quite misleading since I'll probably never use it. It also assumes you run the washer 4 times a week which seems a bit much.
The mess under the sink. I don't know why they didn't put the electrical panel to the left side of all the plumbing. It would have made things a lot easier. Ah well, foresight and 20/20 I guess.
Getting stuff hooked up. Drain line installed. I had to go get the water inlet line and electrical wire off the other dishwasher at this point.
This is the water inlet port. Thankfully the old dishwasher has the same fitting as the new one. I was able to reuse the 90 degree fitting and braided steel water line.
All that was left to be hooked up was electrical and that was really simple. White to white, black to black, ground to ground. After that you level the unit in place and you're done.
