Step 15: Performing a pre-test check
- Make sure that power is turned OFF.
- Open the door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
- Check the door opening and closing. If the door does not open and close freely, or
tends to fall, check the spring adjustments. See “Step 1: Check the door balance”.
- Make sure that the wiring is secure under the dishwasher and not pinched or in
contact with door springs or other components. See “Step 9: Position the dishwasher
under the countertop”.
- Check the door alignment with the tub. If the door hits the tub, level the dishwasher.
See “Step 10: Level the dishwasher”.
- Pull the lower rack out about half way. Make sure that it does not roll back or
forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust the leveling legs. See “Step 10: Level
the dishwasher”.
- Check the door alignment with the cabinet. If the door hits the cabinet, reposition or
relevel the dishwasher. See “Step 10: Level the dishwasher”.
- Make sure that water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with other
components. Any contact with the motor or dishwasher frame could cause a noise.
See “Step 8: Slide the dishwasher partially into the cabinet”.
- Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify the water temperature. Incoming water
temperature must be between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F temperature is
required for best wash performance. See “Preparing the hot water line”.
- Add a half gallon (2 l) of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to lubricate the pump
seal.
- Turn on the water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed.
- Remove any protective film (if present) from the control panel and door.
Step 16: Wet testing the dishwasher
1. Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet, if equipped).
2. Turn on your dishwasher.
3. Close the door, select the RINSE ONLY cycle, and press START/CANCEL.
4. Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the
dishwasher, check to be sure that water and power are turned on.
5. Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn the power supply off,
then tighten connections. Restore power after the leak is corrected.
6. Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door
rubbing or hitting against adjacent cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary.
See “Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop”.
7. When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines. If leaks are found, turn
power off at the breaker and correct plumbing as necessary.
8. Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 12: Connecting the water
supply line”.
9. Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water has drained. If
not, check that the disposer plug has been removed and/or the air gap is not plugged.
See “Step 13: Connecting the drain hose”. Also check the drain line for kinking.
10. Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and
correct if required.
