dishwasher

If I understand this correctly, there are a few things that must/should be followed when installing a dishwasher. 1) A high loop (attached as high as possible in the cabinet) and 2) Some jurisdictions may require an air gap. a) The air gap can be on the counter pointing to the sink or b)...

1st timer here; looking to remove dishwasher permanently; (I assume it's connected to hot water line). I'm wondering what to do with the supply line if I just leave the valve completely turned off except for the other knob that supplies the sink. Other than that and plugging up the hose from...

I have an issue with an asko dishwasher regarding incomplete drainage. Upon cycle completion, the dishes are clean but 500-1000cc of water is in the unit. By holding down the STOP/START button for 3 seconds, the machine drains so there is less than 50-100cc water in machine. I have removed and...

Good Morning! I have a unique dishwasher installation that needs to be modified for an upcoming remodel. My current installation has the dishwasher drain plumbed into a shared standpipe with the laundry on the opposite wall, which fulfills the air gap requirement. The standpipe is inside the...

Will this setup work with a dishwasher?

So as you can see in the images below my sink drain is really close to my drain line so I have no idea how I could install a drain line for a dish washer. I'm thinking maybe if I get a smaller drain I may be able to fit it but I don't that I could find anything that would be so much smaller that...

I have an island with a sink and disposal combo with an AAV for venting. The dishwasher is not able to be connected to the sink dwv. Can I put a dishwasher on its own trap with an AAV, looking something like the attache picture? Would there be any concerns of doing this? No air gap needed...

It seems as though in my first floor apartment the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and garbage disposal are all connected as they should be. However, the kitchen sink (double sink) began backing up terribly. If I run the garbage disposal it empties one side of the sink into the other. I took apart all...

If a dual handle, dual outlet shut off valve that supplies hot water to the faucet and dishwasher was failing, would that impact the performance of the dishwasher? New dishwasher bought 9/2016, stopped effectively cleaning 1/2018 Single handle faucet replaced 11/2018 Appliance repair man...

My 14-year-old GE dishwasher, Model GLD5560L00SS, has been leaving a little residue on dishes. Poking around, I found that the top pipe in the sump inlet had somewhat disintegrated. I'm speaking of the pipe that sticks through the coarse filter on the base of the dishwasher. (Here is a picture...

Hello, Talking about Quebec Plumbing Code. Is it allowed to drain to a standpipe from a dishwasher? If the standpipe is already in use to drain from a washing machine, can the standpipe be used to drain from the dishwasher anyway? Thank you.

Hello, I will be updating this in case anyone else has the same problem. Update 2: diverter motor seal is indeed the problem. Can be replaced from the inside of the washer. A part number that seems to fit most mass market brands is wpw10195677 Update 1: It seems highly likely this problem...

I am installing a dishwasher air gap in a granite countertop and the undermount sink flange is very close to the hole for the air gap. So the bottom nut only contacts the sink flange on one side and does not make contact with the countertop on the opposite side. There is about a 1/8 inch...

Hi, I just rented a new space and when I opened the dishwasher, noticed rot in the corners where the door hinges and there is a lot of it. It seems to run, though not well, but is this safe and sanitary? Thank you!! Jen

It’s time to replace a dishwasher that is hardwired with a switch above the kitchen counter. I understand the new one should be plugged into a GFCI outlet that is accessible without pulling out the dishwasher. Should I surface mount a non-conducting outlet box on the other side of the cabinet...

My kitchen sink and dishwasher are getting little hot water with very little pressure. The faucet is a single handle faucet and the pressure reduces dramatically when pushing the handle to hot. The dishwasher is only about 2-3 months old has worked fine until now. A little water comes thru...

Pulled out the old dishwasher to install a new one. This 1 1/2" copper pipe (see photo) is sticking up from the concrete slab floor, blocking the installation of the new dishwasher. It appears to be capped with a soldered brass end cap. There is a keystone image stamped or cast into the cap...

i have a double sink. The left side has my garbage disposal and the right a sink. I also have a dishwasher left of my disposal. A couple of days ago I noticed that the water took a long time to drain and when I ran my disposal the right side sink would fill up. I assume is a partial blockage...

Hello, I have a 3" sewer main with a number of branch waste lines that enter it. 3" lines are rated for 35 DFU maximum. I have added a few fixtures in my basement and elsewhere and am approaching the maximum DFU rating for my main. Recently, I was doing some careful calculation of every...
