Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. The dishwasher I just bought had absolutely NO paperwork or instructions and I wasn't about to pay $80 to the big box store for someone to come out to install the dishwasher. Thanks again!

The ABSOLUTE BEST tutorial on this issue.. no bs straight to the point! Your a legend thank you!

Thanks for the video! I hooked up our new dishwasher myself and impressed not only my husband but myself as well 😊

Thank you. This was getting to the point where serious anger issues were going to be involved. Great help. Wish they had more than one 👍

You rock. I almost called an electrician for something so simple.

3:01"..and obviously you don't want to have your breaker on..." Working on a switch in a flat of a 3 unit building built in 1910 I pulled the fuses(knob and tube) that are just looped circuits, nothing home run, and started to work on the switch box without checking with a voltage tester. After smoking my screw driver and not getting shocked, I traced out the run and found it run directly down to the main, and not through the fuse box in the flat. The romex connected to the cloth insulation should have been my clue that it might not have been wired from the flat and to test it for voltage. Now I know, and I appreciate that I didn't have to learn it by getting a smoky curly hairdo.

SO helpful and a great companion to the other video! The wiring is straightforward but for a newbie like me the other video did leave me with some questions. Thanks for making it crystal-clear. I'm washing the first load in my new dishwasher, which I installed myself thanks to you!

Thank you Shannon for the tip on the Cable clamp.....I went out and got one today. Install Complete!!

Thanks for this. I was wondering where it was in the last video. I'm not a good electrician, so this helped a lot!

Going to install a dishwasher tomorrow with a power cord. Everyone said to remove plug from the dishwasher and just splice the outlet to the power cord. Thanks about the ground screw and clamp.

Thank you for this information. I had a drain pipe break just behind the wall of the dishwasher. During the repair, I was thinking of installing an electrical box up high so if there was a future problem the water wouldn't drain down the electrical wire (which was coming out the bottom of the wall),.and putting a cord on the dishwasher, but did't know the regulation on that. You answered that for me,,,, THANKS!!

Thank you every video has a plug in dishwasher

Wrap black electric tape over the wire nuts so they don't come loose. My dishwasher wires/nuts all burned from a short yesterday and my dishwasher was last connected by the kitchen remodel guys maybe 3 years ago....

We just recently bought a house, and it has probably a 20 year old or so maytag (just a guess), but we got a used 3 year old amana. The amana comes with a ground wire, and its already attached to the grounding screw, whereas the old dishwasher is using a connection wire that has the bare copper wire, same as this video. Other videos show the 2 ground wires being connected to each other, and not done through a grounding screw, but also the wires in those videos look to have newer wires with the copper threads rather than solid copper piece. I assume based on this answer "green wire is for the ground. It will attach to the bare copper wire that is part of your power supply wire coming to the dishwasher", I would just ignore the grounding screw, and just connect the two wires together?

Great job.. love your instructional approach. Please keep it up.

Thank you! This really helped me. Your explanation was very clear.

Bc of your video I fixed mine found out it had a reset bottom under the same panel

Thanks Shanon

Great vid. To the point and easy to follow. Good info on the clamp. Thanks for the work. Subbed on this vid alone.

i'm a handyman thank you vary much for sharing your skills.

Thank you, I was worried last night how to disconnect the old dishwasher.

Hey thanks for the help man.

You're a life saver sir!

You are the best. Thanks for the video

Great, but what if you need to change out the electrical supply cable - anyone have a video on that?

Thanks for this very useful video!!

The dishwasher's conductors look like they're aluminum. So are there any special precautions you take to connect aluminum to copper, say a dab of Noalox ?

I've got a brand new dishwasher that's wired properly but not coming on when plugged in what should I look for anybody. Already tested the outlet it's good.

Great instructions , thanks for sharing

I sooooooooooooooooooooooo AGREE with you Why the heck do they force US to hard-wire a dishwasher Cos, they want to create JOBS... If you do not know how to connect a dishwasher you have to HIRE someone and that is 35.00 starting price.... Why not just have a plug, like I lamp or a radio Are outlets for dishwasher different in someway I dunno, more AMPS.......for sure its 110V not a 230V

Shannon my dishwasher is hard wired but I'd like to know if I can add a power cord so that I can use a receptacle. Is that a possibility?

What if I connected white to white, black to black but there’s a green wire? What do I do with it?

Thank You!

In my house... I have direct wire but it's black white red with a ground wire.... What I do it with the red wire?

What happens if you mix the black and white wires?

What size socket to use?

Thx!

Easy on a bench. Now try that when it's on the floor.

so when u take it apart do you leave the wires just handing im removing my dishwash

Thanks for your videos a lot help 👍👍👍

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher. There is a red wire under the dishwasher. I am not sure where does it connect. I replaced the pump and during that process I may have removed the red (press fit) wire. Also my dishwasher does not clean and the sop dispenser just opens and the soap falls on the spoon rack. What may be the problem? Is it the motor or the pump or may be the drain pipe? Please help

I am replacing my dw in my old house that doesn't have a ground--how do I ground hard wired. Or do I have to cut a new box into the drywall just to ground the dw?

Thank you!

Thank you for this!

Thanks appreciate your sharing.

Do I have to do all this before pulling the dishwasher out? Is the cord long enough?

installing a dishwasher and instead of a white and a black wire it has those and a green wire. What is the green wire for?

My Boch dishwasher wires melted those two yellow screwy yellow tabby thingy ma-bogg things and the two met...and arked - melting the plastic of those yellow tabs. If I was to re-wire, ya think the dishwasher will work. or should I just not even try and go buy a new boch

New dishwasher has black, white and green wire. Green seems to go to ground wire from house, but old dishwasher has no green or ground wire. Only the bare ground wire from the house. Do I hook up the green from dishwasher to bare ground from house?

How do you hook the hard wire up to the circuit breaker in the fuse box? I just got a dishwasher and the first time I used it it looked like the heating coil oxodized. Called and a service tech came out and replaced the coil only to find out we have 240 amps (? I think that's what he said when he tested the control panel) going through so it actually melted the heating unit and blew the motor. We used a 20 amp fuse but he made it sound like only one of the wires of the three was actually supposed to be hooked up to the fuse. (Sorry it was rather confusing to me)

My dishwasher hooks up very similar. My dishwasher although has a "green" ground wire, which i'd connect with the house's bare ground wire against the ground screw. My problem is, recently the marrettes melted off/burnt. I was the "orange" colour. Maybe they were too small? I will likely rest rip the writes clean and use In-Sure connectors. Is this suggested? Could anything else has caused this? I was told that it was likely caused by a bad connection, weakly twisted (copper-copper) before i applied the marrettes.

Great video! Quick question though. My new Samsung dishwasher has a white, black and green wire. But the green wire is split...one end is a regular wire and the other has a loop at the end. The dishwasher came with a power cord to install which has a white, black, and green wire with a loop at the end. How would you connect those green wires? Would you basically stack the green wire from the dishwasher (both the regular end and loop end) with the green wire from the power cord and hold all three down with the ground screw?

My cable starts in the back. I’m assuming it leads to the front like this one ? I have a kenmore

mine has a green wire as well. where does that go?

Geez Shannon. My dishwasher comes equipped with 16 gauge stranded wire. Should I be soldering that to my circuit wire?

What if I don't have a ground wire?

there's no way the equipment wire were stripped long enough nor the feeder wires.must wrap equip wires around feeder wires then trim to 3/4". then wire nut.

awesome video!!! did you say 14gauge wire with 15amp fuse? what exactly am I looking for at home depot (as for the wire to buy)?

i dont5 see a white 2 white or black to black...... i just see loose white and black.....

Thank u

Is there some sort of silly regulation about not being allowed to connect solid wire romex with the dishwashers stranded wiring? I know that is true for water heaters. If so, what to do then so you can still blow sunshine up the inspectors ass?

Least informational video ever...like your pissed off you have to make it...lolololol...horrible
