How To Remove & Replace A Dishwasher, Part II, Installation

Part II of my Dishwasher Videos....First part was to remove the old one.

[tap]

Nice video, but a few comments from a longtime professional appliance installer: You should have removed the old 3/8" copper line and used the 3/8" stainless braid fill line that came with the install kit, and connected the elbow and fill line to the DW before sliding it into the opening. Also should have used the new drain line that came with the DW, as how you connected to the old one won't hold because it was only rubber on rubber, with no hard backing tube inside to prevent the old drain line from collapsing. I guarantee it will leak eventually, if it hasn't already. Also the top mounting brackets have tabs that should have been bent up after being placed into the slots, so they'll stay in place. Those will come loose eventually. I see it all the time on DIY installs. Finally, the romex or power cord should come through the larger hole in the back of the electrical box, with a metal or plastic strain relief, which is normally included in the install kit.

BTW, I'm not trying to be mean, just helpful to you, and to folks watching this :o)

I found your videos on replacing a dishwasher extremely clear and easy for a rookie to understand. Thank you for your help.

I found both your removal and install videos extremely simple and easy to follow and beyond helpful. I will be doing this myself this week and while everything you did is pretty much what I figured needed to be done is was very helpful to actually see it done step by step. Sears wanted $100.00 for the installation. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Easy to follow instructions! Thank you! Took the mystery out of installing my own dishwasher, and saved me about $150 installation costs!

I had almost the exact same old and new dishwasher as you did in the video. It was pretty amazing. Our kitchen cabinets looked almost identical as well so following along was a breeze. Thank you!

I did not have a clue on how to that before I saw your video. Now, I feel ready to take out the old crap and put my brand new maytag. Thank you so much for a perfect tutorial.

Great general tips for a newbie like me. I just swapped out my ancient Maytag with a new Bosche, but did need to insert my hard wiring into a the supplied custom plug/junction box, use the new supplied drain hose, and swap out my old copper hot water tube for a new braided line because the attachment point is in a totally different spot. Still, your tips helped immensely.

Just followed your lead and removed my dishwasher. Waiting to get the new one and I'm going to use this video as my educational tool. Good video and easy to follow. Thanks a bunch.

I don't care what the nay sayers are claiming this is a very instructive video.
