rfunk at 10:57am on 09/01/2008 under dishwasherYesterday I went out and bought a dishwasher inlet installation kit (with 4-foot hose), and managed to get the new dishwasher installed, minus a few final cosmetic attachments. Yay.
Then I ran it through a test cycle, watching for leaks. I suspected that the drain connection might leak because the initial connection (before I clamped it down) wasn't as tight as I'd like. And yes, it leaked. As did the water inlet connection.
But neither of those leaked as much or as quickly as two other places. Water constantly dripped from the bottom of the dishwasher tub, as well as from somewhere on the left side.
Good thing we didn't pay much for it.
So now the question is whether to put the old barely-working (but not leaking (as far as we know)) dishwasher back, or just go ahead and buy a new one -- and pay someone else to install it.
Meanwhile, I think it's about time to wash some dishes......
