#4 Do you need to buy a dishwasher install kit with this?
Yes, it is always good to change out the pressure hose when you change an appliance. The fittings can become leaky, and the hose can corrode over time. There were some extra items in the kit,, but I bag them up and keep them with my plumbing supplies, they may come in handy. I dont believe you will need the power cord since I connected wires with wire caps and some electrical tape. The box for the wiring is a very small working area. You will not be able to see the pressure and discharge hoses once you start to place the machine, I still wonder if mine are kinked or not lol, but the washer runs fine and discharges fine as well. There is no space from floor to top like a typical smaller tub machine has, so there is no visual space available to investigate anything. Great dishwasher, we love it.
