What's up everyone welcome to the Durban compound. If we're meeting for the first time my name is Devon Durban I'm here to bring you the tools tips and tricks to make you more self-sufficient So today on the channel we're talking about how to Remount a dishwasher maybe you or a loved one has stepped on the door or otherwise mangled the brackets that are underneath the countertop And you need to refasten them. I'm gonna show you just how to do it and maybe a trick you didn't know so stay tuned Oh All right guys so at the top of your screen here you can see where there are two mounting brackets that are underneath the countertop So sometimes if you have a granite or stone countertop there might be an anchor up here But there are other mounting options that will go over here in a second If you have a setup like this that has the two brackets above This is what we're going to do I have a phillips screwdriver. We're going to take out each of these brackets I'm gonna zoom in here So that you can see exactly what I'm doing So as you loosen these screws Down and out of the way here They should be relatively short screws And you just plop them down out of here So once you take them out you can set them off to the side for now now. I always recommend when using When when doing this on a countertop you want to use just a screwdriver Don't be using a drill or an impact To fear of stripping these out So yeah, you only get a couple tries on this so if your Dish washer is leaning forward when you open it like this It's because you've messed up the brackets up here now. These are just cheap metal brackets And they're easily bendable you can see how One is bent pretty badly And sometimes they get mangled up and bent out of the way so you want to make sure that they're bent just like this So let's change a camera angle and I'm going to show you exactly how they fit into the top of the dishwasher Okay, now that we have revealed the top of the dishwasher You can see exactly how these fit into place So if you can see the slot here There are two slots on the left and right you want your bracket to kind of look like this So once it goes in here It's gonna you it's gonna fit in your slot like this and then the The tang of this bracket is going to stick out now you might have a shorter bracket if it is a shallower mounted dishwasher But they should all be relatively the same. So what we're going to do is slide it in and down So that it sits in the channel just like so I hope that is illustrated well on camera. So once you have got this Into place that you've probably mangled this or twisted this up because it is cheap pop metal but You know once you've got it into place you can slide the dishwasher back in and ensure that it is is flush with The edge of your counter where your cabinets now once you've got that back in you can put your screws back up in the top here I will do that now All right, so once you've got that back into place you can see that it is nice and rigid so if you want an extra You know an extra precautionary thing or want some extra boost there are some screws here in the side. Let's show you these Okay, so I've already removed the little plastic cover here But what this does is expose a little joint in here where you can mount a screw So this is going to mount directly into the side of your cabinet and we'll keep it from falling out on both sides a little extra level of precaution so if you're if you're having some trouble with your brackets You can simply just sink a screw into your cabinet here Onto the left and right now with this I recommend a Fine threaded screw and you want a short screw so as to not go into your cabinet area So we're not using three-inch lag bolts here just a small one-inch fine threaded screw We'll get you going All right, so if there was any question as to what the little plastic piece looks like it looks just like this And then you can pop it out with your screwdriver a little flat head screwdriver will get it to pop out And then you would just mount your screw Right into the side of the cabinet here And there's nothing excessive about that you don't want to Really drive it in too hard now I'm going to put a little extra on this because it wasn't all the way tight All right And it is done and you can see how just or just how tight that mounted it now of course you see how much Cabinet we have here you want to make sure your one-inch screw does not go through So after you've done just pop your plastic piece on you can go ahead And close your dishwasher you have just mounted it into place and made it bulletproof All right guys, I hope you enjoyed today's video I hope that it helps someone out out there give me a thumbs up or a thumbs down whatever you guys are into If you haven't clicked subscribed already click that subscribe button and I guess we'll see you guys in the next video
