LOL when you broke the counter top!!

You’re inspiring me to become a plumber keep doing what you’re doing 👏🏼

OMG.. When that piece of plastic broke off the counter, and you put that flamed explosion on...Oh man I about lost it! laughed out loud pretty hard

i'm by no means a plumber but I do appliance installation for a living, to keep the counter top from happening, you can lean the dishwasher back, lower the legs down in the front, then slide it out. I always always always run the feet down before removing to avoid this kind of thing. Also, some times theres water still in the tub of the dishwasher, if you put it on its back instead of on the side you'll never get water leaking out the door if there is water in there.

Definitely the most enjoyable dishwasher install video on the internet! Lol wasn’t expecting the counter top to break! Haven’t laughed that hard in a while!! keep up the good work sir! When I need to install mine I’ll be re watching this!

That reaction to counter top going was so genuine that you can't even do that a second time. Good that your wife didn't notice.

This is the kind of thing I subscribed for. I'm an apprentice doing mostly rough ins but I want a leg up on set outs and remodels... thank you.

The part when he ripped the counter top was hilarious. I had to call my boss and tell him about it. I made the same mistake when I was removing a dishwasher almost a year ago. It's all good Roger!

Next episode: installing granite counter top.

dont forget to make the high loop on the drain hose..

Local 130 State Licensed Master Plumber Chicago here, retired after 35 successful years, two new knees and a hip. The countertop accident happened to my boss when I was an apprentice. I used a Formica repair kit F343-7889 to make an invisible repair. Was $12 in 1978. WisonArt has a similar kit. Ever since then, I would always raise the front levelers first or even use an angle grinder to remove them if I had to. You are very knowledgeable an I respect your experience.

I searched "Hulk Hogan installs a dishwasher" and wasn't disappointed.

Not gonna lie, subscribed just because of the whole countertop segment. Way to go turning a mistake into entertainment. Lol.

I think that strip is to prevent steam from softening your particle board countertop and turning it to mush. I would have made the electrical connection with the dishwasher out of the hole and turned up so I could easily access the electrical box on the dishwasher. Also, I would have put a high loop in that drain line since you are not running an air gap. Great video.

I was so excited for the counter repair. You fixed it on the sneak. Well played. Great video!!

Sorry to correct you in one point. The aluminumfoil strip is to prevent steam going into the wood of the counter top. Therfore it should be placed as close to the front as possible. It is needed for people that open door regulary while the machine is still hot.

You should always shut off the breaker before removing it. That cord can still carry power to the electrical box and if there is any break in the skin of the wire you could get hit. I know it’s only 115v but it can still hold you.

Thanks man i just started as a Plumber and i was tasked with Installing a Dishwasher. im currently on the toilet finding out how to

Its wild how much I learn from this channel versus my Union apprenticeship that they touted as top notch. I don't care, so long as I learn and apply the principles with skill, I'm happy.

That’s awesome can you do a video on how to build a water line to be connected to new fridge that has ice maker built in

This is a great video Roger. I have never replaced one but now I know what to expect when I have to install one. Thanks for all you do.

Followed your instructions and, man, made everything so much easier! One issue I came up against was copper pipes leading to a nearby radiator were placed a long time ago a little too far forward in the space to push the dishwasher as far back as I would have liked, about 0.25 inches. Not awful but I like things flush. That's a bigger job for another time, I guess.

Also remember to leave some slack if you're hard wiring it in. I have encountered so many old units where the dishwasher was originally wired with just enough romex to barely reach the unit, so you can barely even pull it out far enough to disconnect it.

I wish I could explain why at 10:30 at night after a half hour of struggling to get my own dish washer out and failling that chip on the counter top scene may me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes, it was just what I needed, forget the fact the video was helpful and solved my probelem, the comedy and honesty was the fix I need hahah keep up the honest vids hahah

These videos keep getting better and better! It’s so cool to see the progress of your channel. Not a plumber but these are entertaining!

breaks a piece of countertop off...{jumps up n sees) "oh BLEEEEEP. im a dead man" lmao

Hey angel

Great job Roger. I'll be waiting for the video on the counter top installment.

Thats Interesting. I live in Germany and install dishwashers(and other appliances) everyday. I didnt think that it would be that much different in america. I like your videos a lot. Keep up the great work👍🏻

It's foreign to see a dishwasher drain installed without an airgap. Did you high loop the drain? Man do I envy all that room you had in that cabinet. Around here, there's a drawer in the bottom , and a farm style sink above, then an insta hot and water filter crammed into that sucker, and of course the v8 big block version of a disposal ( effing designers). To top it off we often replace the airgap with a soap dispenser post inspection. A mechanical jungle! Guess I'm getting better at plumbing yoga if you will. Excellent video! Informative, concise and entertaining. Cheers from the SF bay area!

There were some callouts for this video I saw, thank you for your plumbing videos they rock, The feet are adjustable and could be used to lower the dishwasher to avoid the damage to the counter, also if you fold a paper towel up into a square and then fold into a triangle and twist it you can use it as a stopper to keep any of the drain water from coming out of the drain line for when pulling the drain through the counter. Another trick to the waterline would be to attach it using a coupler to the copper and pulling it through the fixture in reverse you can do the same with the drain line if you have a longer run needed. Just make sure you can check your holes that feed the lines through to make sure you can fit the cabling and coupler through. Make sure to have the water line coming out of the unit facing the hole in the cabinetry as it is less likely to kink if you have it facing opposite and you pull it to tight you will kink the line causing the cable to slow the water being inlet into the unit. Side note for the connections most manufactures will not service the unit if they find that the cabling (electrical and waterline) were not replaced, this is due to there being multiple issues that happen in the lines ( bends tears, crimping, deposits that occur in the water lines electrical and drain lines. The plastic liner helps prevent damage to the electronics but also gives the steam an area to condense to when the unit opens during the drying cycle. You want about 1/4 inch below the countertop to avoid damaging the unit on the screws. The area you called the seal on the outside edge of the dishwasher is not a water seal it is a sound dampening seal, the seal for the dishwasher is on the inside of the door. Make sure you create a high loop on the dishwasher to prevent back flow from the garbage disposal. (Usually creates a rotten egg smell in the dishwasher ) high loop will alleviate this. The drain line should go up above the sink level to create the high loop.

Hi Roger, Love the work you demonstrate. Note that when you say 'either line can connect to the black or the white', this is likely not correct in the US. Since AC power doesn't have a permanent + or -, the appliance will function connected either way. However the appliance was probably built with consideration for white being 'neutral' with switching on the black or 'hot' conductor. Reverse wiring probably increases shock hazard and potential for leakage current.

The 2014 NEC requires the dishwasher to be connected to an accessible GFCI/AFCI circuit. You can't change the outlet behind the dishwasher, as it's not accessible without removing the dishwasher. It also can't be under the sink, also not accessible when used for storage. Modern dishwashers have a fault possibility of shorting to ground, which is the reason for the newer code. So, have your electrician pull the permit for that change. If you are lucky, you have a single bay switch above the dishwasher which can be changed to GFCI/AFCI outlet with a switch, so your can tell your electrician it will only be a 5 minute job 😉. If it's in the breaker panel, with no switch, it needs a lockout capability on the breaker.

Roger this channel is fantastic, one of the best or maybe even the best produced trades specific channel on KZfaq. You are doing this whole thing right. I’ve been watching your videos almost nonstop for the past few days like a mental patient. One question, you mentioned you don’t like Teflon tape on compression nut threads. Can you elaborate on why, or better yet where is Teflon tape good to use and where is it not?

Thanks so much, Roger!

Thank you for showing us.

Sir you did good. I been an appliance tech for 25yrs. The only I would tell you is it does matter where the power wires go. You don't what L1 coming in through the white wire. Also I didn't hear you say that the drain hose was higher then the sink. Hopefully that Samsung last more then 3yr. I can tell you it won't last as long as that Kenmore/GE you thru out. Love the videos you make. I learn alot from you. Keep them coming.

Great video, sir. I'm installing a dishwasher myself and it's pretty easy; my only hangup is there's no electrical because this is the first dishwasher to ever be installed here.

Hi I don’t know if you go back to old videos and reply or not. I am a appliance installer/prefab contractor in California. I get customers all the time telling me I should do videos like this I keep putting it off lol. Couple suggestions if you do another video like this. Mention the high loop or air gap, manufacturer wants a high loop in California code requires an air gap. You might mention that there is usually water in the tub so I recommend laying it on its back to remove the cord and put some sort of strain relief on the new one. You can gain depth to push the dw back further to match the cabinet doors by drilling a hole low in the cabinet and run the line through that making sure you do the high loop under the sink. Love your videos.

Great video! You make it look so easy!

The fact that you damaged the counter when removing the dishwasher is elightening because I now know to make make sure that does NOT happen. Good video. Thanks.

You should wind up the adjustable feet all the way to lower the washer as much as possible, and bend the retaining clips, where the screws go into counter, down so the top of the machine clears the counter.

Great video! Youre a great teacher

Either line can connect to the black or the white if you’re trying to play electrical Russian roulette! Black to white makes the chassis hot.

The foil tape is to prevent the steam from the dw damaging the wood. Not from electronic heat. Ummmmmm........master something for sure.

Enjoyed this video

17:10 When the dishwasher is opened, hot steam flows under the worktop, but this is only waterproof from above. The foil is used to seal the worktop from below so that it does not swell.

Good video. One tip I've learned, is before you do any hookups, put the new DW in the hole, and prelevel it. That way you know how many turns to the front/back feet you need to get it level first. Nothing more frustrating than doing the hookups, putting it in the hole, and then having to pull it back out and adjust the back feet. At one time, Bosch had a system whereby you could level the back feet from the front, via some adjusting levers. Have not seen those for awhile though. Also, code now is no hard wire; have to have a disconnect--plug like shown in the video.

Great diy we appreciate

Foil tape is to protect underside of counter from moisture from dishwasher door preventing wood rot

I was thinking of putting my Masters number on my Jeep in that Willys style like you have it

I'd like to add one first step I learned the hard way several years ago... Always check the dishwasher to make sure it's fully drained. Luckily, as you mentioned in this video, you waited to unplug the unit. All that was necessary was to reconnect the drain hose, fire it up and make sure everything was drained out. #2 Make sure you open the new dishwasher for the instru..... oh... you just said that... never mind.

Hey there Mr. Wakefield , God bless you! just had a question about the electrical cord where did you put that at for the new dishwasher?

i do these everyday

That peice of tape that you put underneith the countertop is a moisture barrier. It’s to protect your countertop from steam created from the dishwasher.

Roger, I'm an appliance designer and I endorse your installation, except for the missing air gap (I later realized you're in TX where building codes don't make them mandatory. However, after many years designing washers, dryers and dishwashers, I strongly recommend you have an air gap installed even if the codes don't require them. By the way, I'm looking forward to see you installing a washer, if your wife wants, I can send her a brand new unit so you can make the video (and also make her happy).

Id love to see some crazy jetter videos and stories

Great video, I'm still going to make fun of Dispose - all. It's dis·pos·al I think it's a Texas thing because I've heard others from Texas say it the same way. Very good video, keep up the good work.

Can you hook up neg to hot and it work in an AC circuit? Yes. But be advised that new appliances today are VERY sensitive. Hooking a neg wire to hot will over work your circuit boards and motors over time. Refrigerators are particularity vulnerable to this for whatever reason. Ask me about replacing my fridge because the A-hole that owned the house prior was too lazy/stupid to keep polarity on the outlets. :/ Oh... I also want to say :thank you" for mentioning the tape with pipe dope for a connection leak. Had a slow leak but I remembered your advice. Now all is well. Thanks. :)

leg adjustment would have saved counter top on removal

Hahaha I like how you carry the empty box in.

Explosion, head slap and oh fudge! LOL! I'm dead. There were a couple shots where I thought we were going to see your crack but surprisingly it didn't happen. I mean, can you really call yourself a plumber if you're not going to put that on display?

Ive got that big connection onto the blue water inlet leaking a lot. any suggestions?

Could you do the electrical part first then the water hose? Or does it matter?

Was there no anti short strain restraint in electrical box?

Yooo, thats lit, carrying a dishwasher like it was a kidnapped princess...are you hulk?

5:20 My gut is burning from laughing at this part. LMAO!!!

12:26, I’m $&@#%@$ done 😂

good! clear cut explanation . visit our site for replacement parts for your dishwasher.

The control panel on that samsung is designed to go under the counter. You do all your settings when the door is open.. The front of the dishwasher should be flush with the edge of the counter. But you can do you. Also, the motor on the waterwall is notorious to fail so keep your eye on it.

Too true man I've noticed my wife says it's "broken" too when she wants something new!

save that formica chip ---glue and tape in u shape top to under ---remove tape after glue dries

it was at that moment Rodger realized he F**ed up and this would cost him dearly.

Countertop, gotta know. If this was clients house what do you do? Been there and it’s never a fun conversation. I admit it when it happens, it happens That is what insurance is for. When I can fix it I do. This is always the costumers choice. People get upset but most people are fine as long as you take care of it. Sometimes I can fix it sometimes I pay for it. I own my mistake and have no problem loosing a little is fine. Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.

I disagree about the power cord connections, the black 'hot' should go to the small side of the plug in at the wall. The white 'neutral' goes to the wide side. That cord should have a ridge on the edge indicating what side is what. You don't want the hot side going to the chassis ground side of the appliance.. some one might get a shock when working on it. If it was a 'romex ' wire connection it would be obvious for the wire connections !! PS. This is VERY Important for these newer electronic dishwashers, so the circuits don't get damaged !! So You might want to go back and check the connections...

Did you ever hear of a dishwasher air gap . Wisconsin code . Maybe if you lowered the front legs ,you wouldn't have chiped the counter .

Love this channel. I met him the other night at my show. His tips habve helped me grow my channel. The purpose of my channel is to help build my fundraising events to support good causes. I'm touring my show across the USA. Building up to the $1,000,000 in one night at the American Airlines Stadium to take disabled children to summer camp. So thank you for helping me to help others

Don't dishwashers and other appliences come with a pre-attached power cord in the US? As an electrician we always provide a socket below the sink to connect to a dishwasher. The reason it is under the sink in the cabinet: for maintainence/repairs and such. This is to easily and safely disconnect the power.

Love it mate but how to open the door 🚪

some d/w 1 hour some 4 hr with flooring issue that how i write the bill up

I have 2-words for you Mr. Wakefield: Air Gap...

When wiring yoi should make sure to get the wires correct it may work wired either way but it is not the proper way to do and could cause issues

I would have done my electrical cord first before connecting water or drain. You could have flip machine up for easier access.

Did you put any pipe dope or tape on the 90?

u should have verified the power rate of the new dishwater. the old powercord could be not correct power rate. btw it's weird that u have appliace witohut power cord. here in europe are mandatory

Not a fan of the hose thread connection for the water, sure they made that change to make it easier for do it your selfers. Don't over tighten that gasket connection it can crack and leak.

If I understand, you took the power cord from the old machine and spliced it into the new one. Did the new machine come with its own power cord? If so, what was the advantage of changing it over? Would that affect the machine's warranty? I'm truly puzzled, even if it's just the way the machines are sold in Texas/ U.S.A.

Well even a master plumber doesn't know everything.

can i hava the old one

I always turn the wheels inward the front feet before removing..

Wouldn't be better to install the electric cord to the electrical access panel first before the water line? This way you can tilt it up and install the 3 wire pig tail better than laying flat down on the floor.

Since it was plug in you could have laid the dishwasher on its back before sliding in and do the electrical hook up while standing up.

I noticed drain hose doesn’t go up to top of counter (flood level rim)

Why didn’t you install the power cord, first, while it was on its back? Would have been a lot easier than on your back.

Mama's gonna NOT be happy about that countertop chip

I was getting more and more aggravated throughout the video that you seemed so cavalier about breaking a customer's countertop; up until the very end when you said it was your wife's dishwasher. ... I guess you probably said that up front too and I just missed it, lol.

was that a naked gun clip? @5:28

Oh god, the poor counter top. A moment of silence for the fallen corner piece

I look forward to breaking my own countertop later today..

What if I don't have a disposal to hook the drain hose to?
