what about the electric leveling mounting testing kickplates electric cover side mounts if nessasary etc etc if u r gonna not do it right dont show ppl at all!
This is why plumbers are required to have a license. You did NOT install the dishwasher with a dishwasher AIRGAP which is required by plumbing codes. It is illegal and unsanitary to loop the drain up UNDER the counter. A plumber would be fined heavily for that. Also the electrical connections need to be of the proper gauge and GFCI protected. Dangerous way to give advice.
Here’s an idea. Why don’t you make an instructional video on how to properly install a dishwasher since you seem to patrol these plumbing DIY posts, in the hopes of finding errors. I’m sure people across the globe would appreciate some expert advice.
oh pleaze, with the new Pex plumbing, anyone can plumb and entire house.
But we will always need plumbers. Don’t worry.
Is your name Joe, by the way? Is it true that all plumbers are unlicensed and have back taxes like Joe?
Well, I have to say that you americans are living in medieval times what comes to dishwashers. In europe dishwashers are mostly plug and play devices. Just hook it up and rock your dirty shit. Everybody can do it. In videos like this it seems to be most complex thing. Nice video anyway.
Nice vid — unfortunately the previous owner of our new house simply cut off the copper water line connector under the sink when they moved out so there’s no threaded connection there. I’ll probably have to tap off the water line at yet another point and install a cutoff ball valve.
Hello… i bought a used Maytag Performa dishwaher, model number: PDB3430AWE . I don’t know how to wire it or how to connect the hoses. Laying on the floor, I have a wire with a black wire Maretted, a white wire Maretted and a ground wire…this cable is live… i tested it. Can you please help me connect this dishwasher?
Thanks! You helped take some of my nerves away about installing our first dishwasher.
very clear video, thanks.
If you want to see how to prevent items from flipping during the wash cycle, check out my FlexNet video:

What State and code is that. I will double check for you. AIRGAPS are very basic plumbing in all plumbing codes.

An air gap is optional in many (most?) states, including mine. The instruction manual for my new unit has setup for both air gaps and no air gaps.
