Installing a dishwasher is not as difficult as one may think. With a few tools and the proper instructions, most people can install a dishwasher in about two hours. The first thing to do is make sure that the area where the dishwasher will be installed is level. If it is not, shims will need to be used to level it out. Next, locate the water supply line and shut off the water. Once the water is shut off, disconnect the old dishwasher from any power sources and water lines. Now would also be a good time to clean up any food or grease that may have accumulated under the old dishwasher.
Now it is time to install the new dishwasher. Begin by attaching any required brackets to the underside of the countertop. Then carefully slide the new dishwasher into place and secure it with screws. Reconnect all power sources and water lines being careful not to over tighten any connections. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks before running a test cycle empty load..
