How To: Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Maytag Side Mounting Bracket Kit 8212560

[@CG-bd5ti]

This is why the internet exists. Thank you!

[@appliancepartspros]

You are welcome!

[@nelsoncross320]

Whirlpools own instructions leave a lot to be desired. Thanks for this excellent video that allowed me to do an excellent installation :-)!

[@thomasavery3316]

The instruction booklet that came with our new Kitchen Aid was sorely lacking in detail regarding side mounting bracket installation. Thanks for the video!

[@appliancepartspros]

You are welcome. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.

[@allens5582]

Great video as always. You definitely want to use a magnetic screwdriver to affix the screws to the wood frame so that they don't drop down the side.

[@giuseppenero110]

That is THE most important instruction that is forgotten... until after one loses the screw forever?

[@drakedorosh9332]

I have a KDTE104ESS1 KitchenAid Dishwasher and it was going to be too long to wait for side brackets. I used 3/4 pipe strap for 3/4 inch pipes hammered flat. It happens to be 3/4 of an inch wide which fits nicely through the hole in the side. I just flattened it and used the existing holes. I needed a fancy one with notches snipped in it because I only had front access to my dishwasher. Stuck it though then twisted it. The main thing before anchoring it, is getting it level -KitchenAid gives feet that have hex tops (3/16") that a small socket does quick work of. If you don't level it, the drawer slides out and the water level isn't right. The reason for anchoring it is so when you roll out the full dish rack, it doesn't fall forward spilling your dishes everywhere. Mine is in there so tight that isn't going to happen anyway. Another way would use the sheet metal flange sticking out to catch up against a stop block. Size them to your circumstances and use the access holes to pin them with screws. If you have vertical room a bracket is available to span the top and screw into.

Very good detailed instructions. Using this video I was able to remove the top clamps and was able to install the side mounts. TY.

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@timothysmith4150]

Great instruction and hair? Subscribed!

[@maribelcarrero53]

Thank you for sharing this video. The dishwasher you demonstrated on is ideal with the cap that covers the hole. What would you do in the case of not having that feature or any pre drilled hole? I don't want to damage my dishwasher to mount it properly.

[@drakedorosh9332]

If you have enough vertical room under the cabinet there is a bracket that bridges the top of the washing machine and has a honey comb of threaded holes in it enough to match most top hole locations. You screw that in to both sides with four screws and then use the correctly sized threaded bolts to anchor your dishwasher. This is when you have a granite or too hard for screws counter top. Leveling the feet is half the battle.

[@3shagh]

Nice instruction (and stache!)

[@sabrinakhan9436]

Very well explained. Good job.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you out!

[@janonthemtn]

I can't find those little push in things you used after installing the brackets, canyou identify or part #?, thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

What is your model number?

[@andrewfield5656]

I have the same drill! Kept it, 3d printed and adapter to use Ryobi lithium ion batteries w it!

[@marcuskihn]

NIce. I was just about to use a 1.5" screw through that hole - didn't realize there was a kit.

[@appliancepartspros]

Happy we could help!

[@charleyhorse6828]

Kit? I was sold brackets only.

[@cronicjointpain1]

Thanks Uncle Grandpa!

[@JawazHIFI]

Thank you. Very useful video.

[@carolechadwick7145]

I have a Maytag with one bracket at top! No places on sides to put screws!! I have a new quartz countertop! Help!!!

[@UTeewb]

So in the video the side caps are removed from the outside of the dishwasher after pulling it out. How do you remove them from the inside? Eventually you'll have to remove the dishwasher , and you won't be able to pull it out without removing the caps from the inside first to unscrew.

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your dishwasher?

[@christopherpritchard4786]

Thanks for these directions. If I needed the plastic screw hole plug do you know if I can purchase that and where? One got damaged while taking it out.

[@appliancepartspros]

You can always buy it from us! If you put in your model number in our search engine on www.appliancepartspros.com/ it should pull up all the parts for your model, and you can order it from there.

[@lynnewhaley4037]

My dishwasher doesn't have that handy band just behind the front face of the "box" - instead there is a narrow strap to which the two top mounts are spot welded. There is no place to attach the side mount brackets. Any suggestions?

[@appliancepartspros]

We'd be happy to help you out with that! We offer free technical advice and diagnosis. You can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/. We will need your model number. You can use this tool on our website to help you find the model number: www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx

[@vagary0]

Are you using a magnetic screwdriver? How do you keep the screw from dropping?

[@appliancepartspros]

+Jared Warren If you have a magnetic screwdriver it would make it easier if not just have steady hands, hope the video helped you out!

[@KhalidAli-lb2lc]

Very nice thank you so much

[@Milo270_]

Muchas gracias....

[@judyl.761]

Excellent, thanks!

[@claytonschase]

Very helpful

[@butchguillemette7275]

save your money! You don't need that kit. You can use the top brackets. They are made for either installation. If your are putting them on the side just break off the end

[@user-jh5fl2qm5n]

Not so fast. This works for granite countertops that cannot be drilled or drilled easily.

[@DIYeverything513]

Never seen a drill go in reverse and make a hole. Special drill or drill bit? LOL

[@oomrp]

Removing the paint is critical

[@davisdone]

Doesn't mention leveling and alignment, which should be done before you drill a hole in your cabinet.

[@MuckoMan]

Thanks Matt gonna give it a go.

[@atulsheth6252]

nice very useful.

[@appliancepartspros]

Thanks. Glad we could help!

[@labmanme]

great job,,,,,thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the dishwasher fixed!

[@MBGAdventures]

I am not an electrician but don't you think it's not a good idea to have a outlet a few inches away from your water supply? Not even a GFI lol 1:29

[@appliancepartspros]

Keep this between you and me, but it's not a real outlet or water supply. They're just there so we can show them during our repair videos filmed in our studio.

[@SteadyBark96720]

Thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@5thcomm]

thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@sherrischneider2794]

There was no reason to unhook the drain line and the water line.

[@appliancepartspros]

We do advise to disconnect them as a safety precaution.

[@robertlane8209]

Doesn’t show how to use side mounting bracket.

[@allisonmcwillie3322]

this was not helpful at all I have a granite kitchen top so I don't have a screw
