Connecting Power

The dishwasher should be connected to a dedicated, properly grounded branch circuit using a 3-wire setup that includes a ground wire.

If a 3-prong power supply is used, it should be in an accessible location adjacent to the dishwasher within 4 ft. (1.22 m) of the dishwasher side and not behind the dishwasher.

• Turn off electrical power to the unit at the circuit breaker.

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the junction box cover and remove the cover.

  

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove 2 screws a.

  

• Remove the junction box from the appliance.

  

• Insert a 7/8” strain relief b through the hole in the junction box. Tighten the ring nut c to secure it in place.

  

• Insert the electrical cable through the hole in the strain relief. Tighten 2 screws to secure the cable.

  

• Pull the existing wires through the openings in the junction box. Tighten 2 screws d to reassemble the junction box in the appliance.

  

• Pair the white, black, and green wires to the matching colored wires from the dishwasher. Then twist on the wire nuts e tightly to connect the corresponding wires.

  

• Wrap electrical tape f around each connection.

  

• Fold the connected wires back into the junction box and screw on the junction box cover.

  Warning

  • Verify that the black wire is hot (120 V). If not, or if you are unsure of the power supply, have it checked by a licensed electrician.

  Caution

  • Do not leave stripped wire exposed. Trim stripped wire to fit completely inside wire nuts.
