Save Money - Install Your Dishwasher Yourself!
At last, you've purchased a brand new dishwasher and decided to install it yourself.
But before putting the machine in that opening, there are some things you need to put in order before installing dishwashers.
For example, a dishwasher will require its own circuit line from the electrical board.
It also requires a hot water source and a drain to connect to.
Dishwashers entail a 24" cabinet shelf to fit in.
Remember to place the dishwasher next to the sink for convenience so that the water and drain are near the dishwasher.
To make the tedious process of installing dishwashers more efficient, just follow the guidelines below: First, install a 20-amp route from the circuit breaker board.
Continue the run to the breaker panel.
Leave an excess wire measuring at about 5 feet to stick out through the dishwasher hole.
The excess wire will allow the machine to be displaced during maintenance servicing.
Tape the wire to the floor by using a duct tape so that the wire will not slip through the drilled hole.
When installing dishwashers, it is important that you drill holes in cabinets.
Drill a hole with a measure equivalent to 1 ½ inches at the rear of the cabinet.
Make sure to make the hole higher so as not to hit the sink.
After drilling a hole, insert the dishwasher hose through the hole and affix it to the drain that is adjacent to your sink drain.
Then, slip the hose clamp above the drain hose.
Slide the drain hose above the fitting and secure the clamp tightly.
Then attach the water line and rope the dishwasher.
Install the dishwasher to the cabinet.
After installing dishwashers into the cabinet, check all the connections.
Let the water drip from the faucet and make sure that there are no leaks.
Then power on the circuit breaker which is responsible for feeding power to the dishwasher.
Press the start button on the dishwasher.
Once you've checked everything, set up the dishwasher's base plates to the dishwasher.
When installing dishwashers, always make sure to cut off the circuit you will be working on.
If you're going to remove an old dishwasher, prepare a bucket to catch excess water from the dishwasher's drain hose.
Use a base to assure that the dishwasher is stable and its hose is clean so water will not leak out of the dishwasher's door.
Check the drain and water connection point whenever you turn on the dishwasher.
Observe and look for leaks prior to the installation of base plates.
