I was told to lower is a smidge by using the leveling legs. Do I really need to turn off the electric? and how do I get into the front of this dishwasher to access them? Thanks Hi -

I've checked all of the parts and they all seem ok but my dishwash still isn't draining at all. The only thing I can see out of place is a little white plastic ball that I found in the sump while taking it apart the first time. Do you know where the little white ball is supposed to go? I have a feeling this is the only thing stopping my dishwasher from draining. Thanks, Dan Hi Dave,

All you need is the power (120 volt) from the leg and a neutral, you could use the outlet in the kitchen if you need to. If you have any concerns or don't feel safe making the new connection call an electrician.

I am going to put a dishwasher in. At some time there was a dishwasher. All the signs are there that there was an dishwasher at sometime, Water hookup, drain hose holes. But no hardwire line to connect the new dishwasher. This is very confusing. Anyways whom ever had this house before did some outlet additions in the kitchen. There is an outlet they put in, right behind where the diswasher would go. Can i change this to a hardwire cord that i would need to hook up this washer. Thank you. Dan.

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:13:26 +0000 http://homeimprovementteam.com/?p=48#comment-338 I am moving my dishwasher about 7 feet from where it was next to the sink. I am installing it in a peninsula counter. Can a new dishwasher pump a horizontal distance of 7 feet and from a foot below the dishwasher? Can I pipe the drain as follows: I plan to run the dishwasher drain tube into a 3/4" pvc pipe. The pvc pipe will be standing next to the dishwasher to a 3 foot height. The pvc pipe will under the kitchen floor for about 5 feet. Then it will come up thru the floor. A hose will connect it to the garbage disposal fitting about 3 feet above the floor. I will be tying it in with a hose into the existing garbage disposal.
