Whirlpool Dishwasher

Had the opportunity to install this new-age beauty at Pam's house.  Getting the old one out was the hard part because it was at old linoleum level and tiles had been added outside.  It had been grouted in, a very nice job, actually, providing a barrier for ambient floor water getting back under it.  I had to pound out this very nice grouting job and break off the front feet to slide it out.  

Luckily, dishwashers are quite light.

Likewise I had to turn the adjustable feet all the way up to get this puppy to slide into the hole.  The drain hose fit firmly into the one going back and through the cabinetry to the sink drain, and was easily tightened on with a clamp.

The really lucky part was that they provided a drain-to-male 3/8" copper fitting and the existing dishwasher had been plumbed from below the floor with 3/8" flexible copper tubing.  I just had to unhook the tubing down in the basement and feed the hose the manufacturer provided (very high quality) down the hole and screw it on, then hook the top end to the provided fitting, and pull the slack down into the basement.  Power hook-up--no problem; the box of the appliance was reachable by the power cord coming up through the floor.  

The only goofy thing was that the brackets to secure the appliance to the cabinet were not built in to it.  Instead, they were a generic type that snapped into either slits on the top of the housing or on the sides.  I chose the sides.  They relied on orientation to hold them into the slits, and that seemed a bit shaky for my liking, but once screwed into the cabinet, they seemed to be immovable.

Re-attach the drain hose under the sink and mission accomplished.  Test run went without a hitch.
