Installing a dishwasher is a project that most homeowners can do successfully. Before you buy your new dishwasher, check the connection and space requirements. Most dishwashers have universal connections that fit most standard connections, but it doesn’t hurt to make sure the hookups will work for your space.
Most importantly, be sure to measure your old dishwasher to ensure that you’re getting a new one that’s the same size. Here’s how to install a dishwasher.
The first step in installing a dishwasher is to disconnect the old one. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench.
1. Turn off the power to the dishwasher at the breaker box. If you have an older dishwasher, it may not be connected to the power supply, but if yours is connected, this is very important.
2. Turn off the water supply at the shutoff valve underneath your kitchen sink.
3. Place a large towel on the floor in front of the dishwasher, then disconnect the drain line by loosening its clamp and pulling it free from the disposal unit or drain pipe.
4. Open up your dishwasher door and remove all of the screws along the bottom edge of your dishwasher door with a Phillips head screwdriver. Remove any mounting screws that secure your dishwasher to the underside of your countertop and carefully pull your dishwasher away from the cabinet until you can reach behind it and unplug it from its electrical outlet (if applicable).
5. Pull your old dishwasher out from under your countertop, taking care that you don’t kink or damage any of its hoses as you work it free from its space.
6. Slide your new dishwasher into position under your counter
