Thank so much for doing this video. I just installed a new Whirlpool washer after watching your video. It was especially helpful when you pointed out where to connect the drain hose, as the blurry instructions that came with the washer do not show it clearly. I also enjoyed the guest appearance by your cat.

Glad you took the time to make a video. You skipped over hooking up the drain hose or at least showing it hooked up. Important because the appliance end is extremely thin and it would seem that it should have an internal plastic support like the adjacent line.

Ahh, I see your predicament. Sorry for the delayed reply. I don’t see a way to adjust the rear feet in place, but you could probably adjust the front ones in place. Perhaps you could just get the back feet on the concrete, adjust them, then push the unit fully back- the. Adjust the front feet. It might take some trial and error. Otherwise, you could take spare tile, or something else to put under the feet so they stay level with the tile on your floor. Good luck with what you do!

My new Whirlpool dishwasher installed very easily. I did replace the water line with a new braided stainless steel water line, because the old one was made from plastic. I had to drill a 3/4” hole in the bottom of the cabinet to allow the 6’ water line to reach its water connection, but that was about it. No leaks, drips or errors. The instructions said to use Teflon (PTFE) tape but I did not use it - hand tight and then a half turn with a wrench.

12:55 Not sure if you skipped over the section where it talks about where you are supposed to route the drain/water/electrical lines because your drain line is in the wrong place. Everything is supposed to fit in either the lower left or right corners in the space (if you're not jamming it all the way into the space, it probably won't matter).

@NashwaukSteve 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. My base cabinets are up a few inches, like most, so there’s lots of room. But yeah, I see your point for tight spaces.

@jasono2139 4 ай бұрын

@NashwaukSteve yes, I ended up pushing mine all the way to the wall, so I had to drill a new hole in the cabinet to route all of the water/drain/power lines. Otherwise, it looks like your water shutoff was already located behind the dishwasher like mine (which I left as it would have been a hassle to relocate)... which makes you wonder what the person installing it was thinking as you can't access it without pulling the entire dishwasher out. 🤷

Thanks for your video, one question, seems to be like the Samsung I need to replace, less than year old, will not clean dishes and Samsung has no parts, anyways how has this model worked for you? Is it quiet too? Thanks.

@NashwaukSteve 2 жыл бұрын

Hi @justanotherfan18 - we have really liked this dishwasher so far. It is very quiet and does an excellent job cleaning dishes. We don’t rinse unless it’s really starchy, and usually everything is clean with each load. The only downside is that the cycle we run takes 4 hours. We start it each night before bed, so the cycle time isn’t a big deal. There are quicker cycles also that do a decent job. Best of luck!

@NashwaukSteve 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Debi McCann! That’s a toughy! If you know you have water in your supply tube, it should be getting in the dishwasher when you run a cycle. Maybe just take a good look at the inlet area. There is an inlet valve there that controls the water flow into the unit. Make sure the wires are connected. I suppose it’s possible they could be loose or the connector might not be snapped in. Other than that, I’m not sure what else to check. I hope you get it figured out!
