STEP 16 PRE-TEST CHECK LIST
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to
avoid charges for a service call that is not covered
by your warranty.
Check to be sure power is OFF.
Open door and remove all foam and paper
packaging.
Locate the Owner’s Manual in the literature
package.
Read the Owner’s Manual for operating
instructions.
Check door opening and closing. If door does not
open and close freely or tends to fall, check spring
cable routing and spring adjustments. See Step 1.
Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the
dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door
springs or other components. See Steps 8 and 10.
Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub,
level dishwasher. See Step 11.
Pull lower rack out, about half way. Check to be
sure it does not roll back or forward on the door.
If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See Step 11.
Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits
cabinet, reposition or relevel dishwasher. See
Steps 10, 11 and 12.
Check that door spring does not contact water
line, fill hose, wiring or other components. See
Step 13.
Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked
or in contact with other components. Contact with
motor or dishwasher frame could cause noise. See
Steps 6 and 8.
Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must
be between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F
temperature is required for best wash perfor-
mance. See “Prepare Hot Water Line,” page 5.
Add 2 quarts of water to the bottom of the
dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal.
Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten
connections if needed.
Remove protective film if present from the control
panel and door.
