Getting a New Dishwasher Installed

Replacing an old dishwasher isn't just about swapping one appliance out for another - it calls for some profound plumbing know-how and additional tools, along with an understanding of cabinet work so that everything fits together like a charm. Our professional dishwasher replacement service takes care of the whole process from start to finish, installing a dishwasher from yanking out the old one to getting your brand-new one up and running in no time. We specialise in providing a dishwasher installation that's just as quiet and secure as it is efficient, getting your kitchen sink area back in working order in no time.

A dishwasher is one of those major appliances that gets a serious workout daily, and getting it right is all about proper installation. If the water supply line or drain hose isn't hooked up correctly, you could end up with a world of trouble - think water leaks all over your base cabinets and kitchen sink deck. That's where our team of experts comes in - we're specialists in plumbing appliance connections, ensuring your new dishwasher is perfectly level, securely anchored, and vented just right.

Suppose you're upgrading to a new dishwasher (maybe a sleek Maytag one). In that case, the installation will need more than just plugging it in - it will require serious attention to detail to ensure it's mounted securely and draining properly. We eliminate all the guesswork by guaranteeing that all three connections (water, drain, and electrical) get done right and done safely. Savvy homeowners invest in a professional dishwasher replacement service - it's a guarantee of effective, leak-free dishwasher installation for years to come. We can even help install an extra dishwasher if you need one, or remove one if you decide you don't.

What You Get with Our Dishwasher Replacement Service

Why You Should Hire a Pro for Your Appliance Installation

Our Dishwasher Replacement Service leaves DIY installations in the dust with benefits that'll blow you away, making it easier to install a dishwasher. We guarantee safe appliance plumbing connections, dishwasher drain line connections, and secure mounting for a smooth built-in dishwasher swap, all according to the installation instructions.

Safe Appliance Plumbing Connection

The core of our dishwasher replacement service is the safe and leak-free appliance plumbing connection. This is where we make sure the unit's getting the proper water supply and the water supply valve is functioning correctly, at used water's being appropriately expelled, so your kitchen drains like a dream.

1. Water Supply Disconnection: Before we get started, we turn off the water supply at the valve under the sink, then disconnect the water supply line from the old dishwasher and grab a bucket to catch any remaining water.

2. New Water Supply Line: We connect the new water supply line to the solenoid valve on the new dishwasher. This usually means we need to use a new dishwasher connector kit (a braided steel water supply line and some thread sealant for the water valve threads) to create a tight seal and prevent leaks. We make sure the water hose fitting is securely fastened with an adjustable wrench.

3. Drain Connection: Now we connect the drain hose from the new dishwasher to the sink drain or garbage disposal. If you're hooking up to a garbage disposal, we make sure the knock-out plug's removed from the disposal drain port first. We use a hose clamp to connect the drain hose to the drain fitting or inlet on the sink, drain, or garbage disposal.

Our commitment to precision plumbing connections is what makes our dishwasher installation service so reliable. You should really check out the video on water connections - it's worth a look.

Secure Mounting and Electrical Safety

Getting a built-in dishwasher swap right is all about making sure the unit's securely anchored to the cabinet opening and safely wired for electrical power.

• Electrical Disconnection: We turn off the dishwasher's breaker before opening the front panel to disconnect the old dishwasher from the power supply. We take our time and carefully disconnect the power cord.

• Power Cord Installation: Many new dishwasher models come with a power cord, but we still need to make sure it's wired correctly to the terminal box on the dishwasher, using the correct wire connectors and securing the strain relief clamp. We then route the power cord underneath the dishwasher to the outlet. If the old dishwasher was hardwired, we can install a new outlet or get it wired up correctly.

• Mounting: We carefully slide the new dishwasher into the cabinet opening. We use mounting brackets to anchor the dishwasher to the underside of the counter-height sink deck or to the side of the adjacent base cabinet. We make sure the top edge of the dishwasher is aligned flush with the countertop for a proper fit.

We check to ensure there's enough clearance and that the power cord isn't pinched. Our professional dishwasher replacement service includes making sure all electrical connections are secure.

Getting Your Drain Line Right and Level

Proper drainage's a hygiene issue and an appliance longevity one, too, and it's wise to ensure a drip tray is in place . The drain hose needs to be configured so it doesn't backflow into the dishwasher.

• Air Gap/High Loop: We execute the dishwasher drain line connection by creating a high loop with the drain hose so it arches over the sink drain connection point. This prevents sink drain water from flowing back into the dishwasher - a must for proper water drainage. You might want to take a look at the video on the high loop procedure.

• Leveling: To get our new dishwasher working correctly, we must level it perfectly. The wash arms need to spray correctly, and the internal drains need to function properly. We use an adjustable wrench to adjust the level legs - including the rear levelling legs - until the dishwasher is level from side to side and front to back.

• Old Dishwasher Removal: As part of our full dishwasher replacement service, we remove the old dishwasher from the cabinet opening and dispose of it responsibly.

Installation and Reliability

We can guarantee that our new installation process will get your new dishwasher up and running properly, safely, and effectively from day one.

Step-by-Step Installation

We put in the effort to get it right, so your current dishwasher and new dishwasher work perfectly from the off. Here's our step-by-step guide to the installation process.

1. Prep and Disconnect: First, we turn off the power and water supply at the circuit breaker and shut off valve, and disconnect the drain hose, water supply line, and electrical connections from the old dishwasher. Then, we safely remove the old dishwasher.

2. Water Line Prep: We hook up the new water supply line to the solenoid valve on the new dishwasher, sealing the connections with pipe joint compound to prevent leaks. We get the rubber washer in just right.

3. Electrical Wiring: We connect the power cord to the terminal box on the new dishwasher, using wire nuts or twist-on wire connectors. We make sure the dishwasher collar is secure.

4. Placement and Levelling: We slide the new dishwasher into the cabinet opening (and sometimes use wood runners to get it in place). We adjust the level legs until the new dishwasher is perfectly level and the top edge is flush with the counter.

5. Final Connections: We hook up the drain hose to the sink drain or garbage disposal inlet, making sure the hose is raised above the sink deck to prevent backflow. We attach the mounting brackets and anchor brackets to the base cabinet or counter. This is the final step in installing the new dishwasher securely.

6. Test Cycle: We turn on the water supply and restore power, then run a test cycle while keeping an eye out for any leaks from the water supply line and drain hose. We confirm that water is draining as it should.
