Thanks so much for making this amazing video! You explained the process extremely well and simplified it so we all can do it too. Thank you!
Great to hear Pete! That is our goal!
Thank you! But I was getting the 4,3,2,1 count down and heard it might not be level. But without finding this video I just raised the front up 1/4" as a guess. That did the trick. However I found this video and tried to do this level. I got it close to actual level and it was back to the count down. So back it went to my "guess". But now I have this in my back pocket. Thanks!
We are glad you found it helpful!

I LIKE HOW YOU EXPLAIN THINGS!!!!!!!!!! I love the clip views & angles and direction. You have any other dishwasher videos or was this a personal install. Well, gotta go, I got a MAYTAG to install!!!😄😄😄😁
Thank you! Good luck with the install on your new Maytag dishwasher! Our TH-cam channel is full of appliance repair content for DIYers.
@@PartsDr I finished up last night near 11:30pm!!! Check all areas, no leaks!!!!
I absolute Love Luv Love this Maytag dishwasher!!!!!
@@williecunningham3725 Nice job!!!!
I added aluminum tape to the bottom of my countertop to prevent warping. My old laminate countertop had warped considerably from the dishwasher steam, but it was very old.
That is a good idea! Some of the newer dishwashers like the LG shown in the video don't vent the steam out the top of the door like some of the older dishwashers so that shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
One good thing to do with a Dishwasher, is Lean it back a bit. Not to a extreme but just enough so water doesn't pool at the front. If your ever getting a bit of leaking at the front edge of the door, this can help. Of course if there is a seal issue or broken part that's leaking, then the part in question will need to be replaced.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. One question, the water line should be connected to the hot water, correct?
Yes, the water supply to the dishwasher should be connected to the hot water.
Thanks for the video, just installed my dishwasher same make and model. Have owned and installed a few this one is very noisy. Is that normal. Thanks
The problem with noise levels is that they are hard to compare over the internet. Make sure that none of the insulation pieces are missing and that the bottom cover is installed. It isn't the quietest dishwasher that we have tested but quiet enough that we were able to talk right next to the running dishwasher in this video here; th-cam.com/video/G7lxR9WlOIw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks very much
We are glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the video!! What if your water and drain hook up are on opposite side of the recommended install?
It shouldn't make any difference if your water supply and drain are on the left or right side.
@@PartsDr thanks for the reply
So simple. I've watched a few half hour long videos that need to be severely edited.
Great! We love to hear this!
Did you make a hole on the counter-top for the main electric wire of the dishwasher to reach up to the plug point?
The power supply to the dishwasher can vary depending on the area that you live and the electrical code requirements. Most commonly the electrical outlet for the dishwasher is installed in the cabinet next to the dishwasher and it is sometimes shared with the garbage disposal. You may want to contact a local electrician for further details.
Best video I found after watching 10 that didn’t help .
That's great!
Great Video! One question. Did the power cord come with that unit? Or did you have to buy it separate? If so, do you recommend a power cord?
I have a LGLDFN454 that is hardwired but I want to convert to plug in
Hey Chris! No power cord is included, this is the one we used here: partsdr.com/part/4317824-3-prong-power-cord-kit
So you don’t need to replace the foam pad beneath the base cover?
I need help. Our new dishwasher came with a separate long white flap/seal the width of the machine. It looks like under the door there is a place for it to slide in but we can’t seem to get it to work 🥴
On some sinks next to faucet, what is the thing that seems to be some kind of air release vent(?), when the dishwasher is draining? Do you have to have this?
Hi Juli, what you are describing is called an air gap. An air gap is an anti-backflow device to prevent water from the house from backing up into the dishwasher. It is code in some areas and it is required to install and air gap. In our area there is no requirement to install an air gap so we drilled the hole up as high as possible for the drain hose which creates a loop which also prevent backflow (show at 1:24).
@@PartsDr Thanks Parts Dr!!!
@@PartsDr m
O
The manual says to pass the water line and drain hose through the same hole at the lower back of the cabinet. Would that really cause water from sink drain to back up into the dishwasher?
What is the model number of your dishwasher?
Hi, i have lg dash washer ( model number DFB512fb) the last time the dash show me the error HE , you have any idea for this error, please i need help
Thanks
I noticed there is no air gap. Is one still required? I've heard they are required to be within code.
You will want to check with your local code to see what they require. That will vary by the area you live.
How do you access the bottom.. diverter motor area?
I'm sorry, we do not have any videos showing how to do that yet.
Electronic card should be longer in order to fixe appliance in the future
Did you cut the ends off of the ground wires? Is it necessary to connect one ground to the box?
Installed the exact same dishwasher, turns on cycles and stops, no water in the dishwasher and yes the water valve was on, is there something I’m missing ?
Try checking the water supply from the house to the dishwasher. Grab a bucket, turn off the water, remove the line and put the line in the bucket and turn the water back on.
Did that, can it be air locked ?
@@curtisneal2671 We have never run into that. The next thing to check would be to see if power is being sent to the water valve. If the water valve has power and it is not letting water into the dishwasher, then the water inlet valve is most likely bad. th-cam.com/video/vrDSl24vwao/w-d-xo.html
@@curtisneal2671 I had the same problem. Started the dishwasher and it completed the cycle but no clean dishes. Pulled it out to check everything and found that the water line had a pinch in it. Now it fills and washes.
Do you have video to remove Whirlpool refrigerator 4 doors French door ? Thanks
I'm sorry, we do not!
Install LDF551ST LG DISHWASHER
Thanks!
Isn't this dishwasher a free-standing one? Why do we need to screw it to the cabinets?
The LG model LDF5545ST dishwasher shown in the video is not a free-standing dishwasher, it is a built-in dishwasher.
@@PartsDr thanks for confirming 👍 I'm only so fresh 😆
Why on earth does LG use a 2.5" hole size for the drain line when the standard size is 1.5". Anyone replacing an old dishwasher with this one (i.e. not new construction) will have a headache.
Great video
Thanks!
