STEP 19: PRETEST CHECKLIST

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 set aside in Step 1.
• Read the Owner's Manual for operating instructions.
• Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and
close freely, check for proper routing of spring cable over
tension. See Step 2.
• Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Step 18.
• Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 14.
• Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 13.
• 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.
• Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must be between
120°F and 140°F. A minimum of 120°F temperature is
required for best wash performance. See "Prepare Hot Water
Line," page 5.
• Add 1 quart of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to
lubricate the pump seal.

needed.
