Tub and Structure
The toe kick is a decorative panel covering the
machine area of the dishwasher. The panel
provides a safety barrier, closing the front of the
dishwasher machine compartment. The toe kick
prevents injury from electrical components under
the dishwasher. To remove the panel, remove two
1/4 in. hex head screws and pull the panel away
from the dishwasher.
The Junction Box is located behind the toe kick on
the right-hand side of the dishwasher. The junction
box is where the 120 VAC house voltage connects to
the dishwasher. The dishwasher may be hardwired
or an optional cord may be installed (available
separately, Part #: WX09X70910), which plugs into
a wall outlet and connects to the harness plug into
the control (see Installation Guide). The cover is held
in place with a 1/4 in. hex head screw on the left
side, and tab on the right side. To remove the cover,
remove the screw and pull out and to the left to
release the tab. It is helpful to squeeze the top and
bottom of the box when removing and installing.
