I am installing a portable dishwasher and making it permanent. Is there a valve to keep drain water from running into the dishwasher when not in use? Holes for side mount must be predrilled or the wood will split,you need to ues 1 inch sheetrock screws and predrill the holes for them,the longer screws will get you into good wood.

The kit has brackets which screw into the cabinets on each side with one small screw. After minimal usage, the cabinet wood split at the site of the screw. It seems like a lot of weight on this screw once the door is opened and the tray full of dishes is rolled out. After repairing the damage how do we prevent this from happening again. Tonight I am replacing a compact dishwasher with a regular size one. My water supply is pex, and I need to be able to clamp a rubber hose to it for water in take…will I be able to purchase the same size hose in rubber.
Also, can I just attach the drain hose to the inside of the cabinet to raise it. Please point to where this question has been asked and answered, if that is in fact the case. Where is the information concerning the vent on the top of the door being blocked by the countertop? Proper venting is needed for both dishwasher performance, and so that steam does not ruin the countertop.
People have rationalized the placement of the control buttons, but how does one explain the placement of the vent?

Someone—please let me know! Hi Bud, There are a number of possible causes for water overflowing out of a dishwasher air gap, here are some common problems to check and fix if needed: Hope that helps, Ben. Under the cabinet was not tile as their is in the rest of the kitchen. I have all electrical and plumbing complete but the dishwasher is having fitting issues.
I have a Kenmore with top mounted controls. Are these controls to be visible with the door closed or must they protrude out from the counter top and be visible with the door shut? I do not seem to have any room to screw in the top metal secure latches. My counter top is laminate and it has a lip that lowers. Right now the controls on the top of the door are visible when shut.
Does this need to be pushed further in? When I do push it in the door gets caught on the counter top. How much of a gap should I have from the counter top to the inside top of this dish washer? Bob, The gasket should come out pretty easy, then you would need to get a matching one from an appliance store. I have recently moved into a house that already had a dishwasher installed.

Can I tap into one leg of my electric stove for power? The only spot I have available is between the sink and the stove. It did not have a dishwasher before and was a super easy install, but I have water coming out the air gap when the dishwasher is draining. I see that a number of people have posted the same problem, but no one has posted a solution.
What can be done to stop the water from coming out the air gap? Do you think it will fit? Hi Dana, Thanks for the followup. Good luck with your project! I have the answer to my November 16 question. No sprayer for me, because the local building code requires my dishwasher to have the air gap.
A few months ago, we had a new dishwasher installed. Due to the layout of the kitchen, the dishwasher couldnt be installed flush with the cabinet. It had to be installed at a slight angle and the installers had to bend the brackets at the top in order to angle the washer to where it needed to be. We had to sign a waiver acknowledging that they were unable to properly install the unit. Is there a way to reinstall this? We dont have any brackets up at the top anymore.
My husband wants to screw a metal bracket into the front of the cabinet and I wont let him.
Sink has four holes,one which is used for the dishwasher drain air gap. Will this cause any problems in DW drainage??? My kitchen sink has 4 holes, so I bought a new faucet set that would use the 4th hole for a pull out sprayer. My handyman says the 4th hole should continue to be used for the dishwasher thing that is already installed there in the 4th hole for overflows?
Is it really necessary or prudent to keep it? The dishwasher is a very basic General Electric PermaTuf that was installed in Thanks for your thoughts. The dishwasher cannot fit near the sink and the sink is essentially on an island or short wall.

There is a vent stack in the wall behind the proposed dishwasher area that has nothing draining into it it was for the old sink. Thanks for the help. I am installing a dishwasher into my home. There is a spot for the dishwasher to go and I have all of the equipment to actually hook the thing up. The dishwasher has a plug, however there is no outlet where the diswasher belongs; just wires hanging out of the wall with wire nuts on them. Should I install an outlet, or cut the plug off, strip the wires, and install? Any suggestions would help.

We had a complete kitchen renovation done, including having our old Smeg dishwasher installed under counter and plumbed in. Previously, it was on wheels and we would roll it to the sink and screw it to the tap installed under the sink. The new installation was done by a plumber who extended the drain hose.

Does the drain hose need to be from a specific material? To me, what was installed looks like a clear reinforced garden hose.

Just had a new whirlpool dishwasher professionally installed to replace the one which was installed when the house was built. The new washer is not quite as wide as the old one and there is a half inch gap on the side between the cabinet and washer. What can be done to hide this opening? Is their special screws for this and are their spacers available that go between the dishwasher and cabinet for these mounting screws.? I have a old dishwasher -installed in still works, but is not secure and when both top and bottom rack are pulled forward, the dishwasher tilts forward.
There is no place on the top to secure it. I just installed a dish washer for my nephew. My first in about 8 years. He has Granit counter tops. I reminded him to be sure they put in the threaded incerts to mount the unit. OK live and learn.
