Reinstall terminal box cover and wires
Place wires inside terminal box. Replace the cover by inserting
the hooks of the terminal cover into the slots in the floor of the
terminal box and sliding the cover tight against the back wall
where wires come in. Make sure wires are tucked inside the box
and not pinched by the cover.
Put the terminal box back on the crossbar and push to the right
so terminal box snaps into the plastic side member.
NOTES:
Once the terminal box has been remounted on the dishwasher,
■
tuck any excess length or slack over nearby components to
help keep them off the floor.
Route cord out the rear of the dishwasher so that it does not
■
touch dishwasher motor or lower part of dishwasher tub.
Do not plug cord into an outlet until instructed to do so.
■
A maximum of 2 power cord supply conductors (12 AWG
■
largest size) plus 1 grounding conductor are permitted in the
terminal box.
IMPORTANT: NO ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS OTHER THAN
