Storing your dishwasher

Moving or winterizing your
dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against
water damage due to freezing water lines. If
your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling
or could be exposed to near freezing tem-
peratures, have a qualified person do the
following:
1. Disconnect power or unplug dishwasher.
2. Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.
3. Remove the 4 screws on the lower access
panel and remove the lower access panel.
4. Place a shallow pan under the water supply
valve. Then, use a wrench to disconnect
the water inlet from the water supply valve.
Separate the water inlet from the water
supply valve and drain water into the pan.
5. Remove the spring clamp from the water
outlet and separate from the water supply
valve; drain water into pan.
6. Reconnect both water inlet and water
outlet to the water supply valve.
7. Empty the pan and reposition it under the
water pump.
8. Remove the clamp and disconnect the
drain hose from the water pump; drain
water into pan.
9. Reconnect drain hose to the water pump,
being sure to position the clamp over the
connection.
10. Replace the lower access panel.
NOTE: If your dishwasher is connected to a
garbage disposal, do not run water into the
sink after winterizing. This could cause water
to refill the drain hose on your dishwasher.
Reconnecting your dishwasher
after storage
1. Remove the 4 screws on the lower access
panel and remove lower access panel.
2. Turn on the water supply to dishwasher.
3. Reconnect power or plug in dishwasher.
4. Run dishwasher through a complete cycle
and check for leaks.
