Hi I'm Josh from eSpares.
And in this video I'm going to show you how to install a dishwasher.
Now in this case I'm using an integrated dishwasher but the process
should be fairly similar
for most dishwasher models. Obviously if you're looking to remove the dishwasher
you can just follow this process in the reverse order.
Now before I begin installing the dishwasher I've prepared the
space that is going into by clearing any blockages
or pipes. And also I've made sure that the cavities is actually big enough to take
the dishwasher.
Now there are three things you need to install, you need a power supply
a water supply and a drain. In the case of the power supply
I've passed the dishwasher power cable into an adjacent cupboard where
there's a socket.
And for the water supply that's found here
under the sink I've turn the water supply off
and screwed one end of the cold water hose
onto the water supply here. And I've passed it through a hole
in the bottom of the cupboard out through the cavity to here.
Where I can screw it on at the back at the dishwasher.
I'm not going to turn the water supply back on just to check that there aren't
any leaks.
And I've passed the drain hose from the back at the dishwasher
up through the same hole in the bottom of the cupboard.
I'm just going to pull through the loose hose.
And now I can start to slide the dishwasher back into the cavity
making sure that I don't catch any of the pipes or hoses
on the way. Now I've got the dishwasher in place
I can pull through the remaining loose drain hose
And now I need to attach the drain hose to this
drain spigot here.
Now if you're installing a dishwasher for the first time it's likely than
drain spigot will be blocked off at one end. It maybe at this end where
it's conical
and you need to cut the pipe so that it's the right thickness
as your drain hose. Or it may be blocked at this end by some sort of cap in which
case obviously
you need to remove that. And once that spigot is completely clear for water to
pass through
you can screw that up onto the the drain connection
and then we recommend using
some sort of clip placed over the drain hose
just to hold it firmly in place. And you can then attach that
to the drain spigot. Now it's important to set the drain hose as high as
possible
to stop water from draining from the sink into the dishwasher. So if you are
getting that problem
just repositioned the height of the drain hose.
And now I've got all the connections in place I just need to adjust the feet
on the bottom of the dishwasher so that it sits flush with the rest to the
cabinets.
And that's it, One dishwasher installed. Spares for dishwashers
and other appliances are available on the eSpares website.
Thanks for watching.
