Thank you 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🌻

[jufejujo]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. One question, the water line should be connected to the hot water, correct?

[spreizfus]

I added aluminum tape to the bottom of my countertop to prevent warping. My old laminate countertop had warped considerably from the dishwasher steam, but it was very old.

[preetipuni]

Thank you it really helped me install my LG dishwasher.

[YTMegiddo]

Thank you! But I was getting the 4, 3, 2, 1 count down and heard it might not be level. But without finding this video I just raised the front up 1/4" as a guess. That did the trick. However I found this video and tried to do this level. I got it close to actual level and it was back to the count down. So back it went to my "guess". But now I have this in my back pocket. Thanks!

So you don’t need to replace the foam pad beneath the base cover?
