If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that
a qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A 120-volt, 60.Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20ampere, fused electrical supply is
required. Time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
The dishwasher must be connected
copper wire only.
Panel A
with
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the
service panel (fuse box or circuit
breaker box).
Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
Recommended
method -
grounding
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Run flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire) from fused disconnect, circuit
breaker or junction box through the 3/4”
cabinet hole to the dishwasher location.
The cable must extend 24” from the
back wall.
The hole cut through a wood cabinet
should be sanded until smooth.
The hole cut through a metal cabinet
must be covered with a grommet (Part
No. 302797), available from your local
dealer or parts supplier.
A U.L.-listed strain relief or conduit connector must be installed at each end of
the power supply cable (at the dishwasher and at the junction box). Wire
sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform
with the rating of the dishwasher.

supply cord method
(connecting dishwasher to outlet).
Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.listed, flexible, three-conductor,
power
supply cord terminated with a threeprong, grounding-type
plug.
It is recommended that cord kit (Part No.
43 17824). available at your local dealer
or parts supplier, be used. Follow the
instructions packaged with the power
supply cord kit. If the cord kit is not
available locally, the flexible cord used
must be a U.L.-listed, three-conductor,
16-gauge cord that meets the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest
edition* and local codes and
ordinances. The length of the cord must
not exceed six feet. It must be routed so
it does not touch the dishwasher motor
or the lower portion of the dishwasher
tub. A strain relief (Part No. 596171),
available at your local dealer or parts
supplier, or a similar part must be used to
secure the flexible cord to the
dishwasher frame or terminal box. The
flexible cord must be plugged into a
mating, 3-prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition,* and all
local codes and ordinances. Follow the
instructions packaged with the flexible
cord.

The drain hose MUSThave a high drain
loop, 20” minimum ABOVE FLOOR, to
prevent backflow or water siphoning out
of dishwasher during operation.
NOTE: An air gap MUST BE USEDin
the high drain loop if the drain hose
is connected to house plumbing lower
than 20” above the floor.
Drain hose, supplied, meets AHAM DW- 1
test standards. Cut 1- l/2” hole in
cabinet wall for drain hose. Additional
drain line (a minimum of l/2” I.D. and no
longer than 20 feet) can be used if
needed.
2
n Install a
shutoff valve in the
water line where it
can be easily used.

Check these points:
l
Is the door closed tightly and
latched securely?
l
Has the cycle been set correctly to
start the dishwasher?
l
Is the water turned on?
l
Has a house fuse blown or circuit
breaker tripped?
l
Has electrical power been
interrupted?
Note: If the motor has stopped
because of overload, it will
automatically reset itself within a few
