Hi folks,
My dishwasher has a slow leak, even when it is not being used. I took a look under there, and it is clearly the water inlet valve (WD15X10014). I watched some videos...seems like something I can easily replace myself. part is cheap enough.
I noticed that the water supply going into it , which is diverted off of the sink (luckily it has its own shut off), is copper (like thin copper, and it is curved to get to the input. All of the videos I see have a water supply line that's braided stainless steel and flexible. How careful do I need to be with this line when I unhook it from the elbow that goes into the water inlet valve. This is the only thing giving me some pause. Ideally I'd like to be able to take apart/hook everything back up with the dishwasher pulled out/tilted for easy access...but I presume I will have to do it in place?
Thanks!
