STEP 16 PRE-TEST CHECK LIST

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 in the literature package.
® 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
pulley. If door drops or closes when released, adjust spring
tension. See Step 1, Figure G.
® Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Step 8.
® Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Steps 11 and 12.
® Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the door.
If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See Step 11.
® Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 12.
® 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 at least 120°F and no more than 150°F for best wash
performance.
® Add 2 quarts of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to
lubricate the pump seal.
® Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections
if needed.
® Remove protective film if present from the control panel and
door.
® Avoid service call charges by ensuring there is an air gap or
drain hose routed through the required 32" minimum height.
