Is Your Dishwasher Installed Properly?

Did you know that poor dishwasher installation can lead to complex service issues? Our technicians often face challenges due to improper installations that make servicing difficult.

For Instance:

1.  Can your dishwasher be easily pulled out for service?

2.  Was the flooring installed after the dishwasher? If so, the appliance might be trapped from below.

3.  Does your countertop rest directly on top of the dishwasher, or are there support panels on either side? If not, it could be locked in from above.

Also Consider:

Also, consider the accessibility of the water lines that supply the dishwasher.

Is there a shut-off valve specifically for the dishwasher? This is crucial in case of leaks or other issues.

More Information To Know:

Minor leaks often go unnoticed until they cause significant damage, such as a kitchen flood or water damage in your basement.

Plumbers and cabinet installers might not always consider the need to service the dishwasher when they work on installations. At Appliance Master, we can help you evaluate your dishwasher’s setup and provide suggestions to prevent common issues.

We often hear from customers who are deciding whether to replace or repair their existing appliances. While matching appliances offer a streamlined look, their dimensions may not fit with your existing cabinetry. This is especially true of dishwashers, which are often installed BEFORE the flooring and countertop, making replacement difficult. Our repairs can often be done without removing the unit.
