How To Install a Bosch Dishwasher - Installation

[@ddphotos]

Had to give this a like due to your level of detail. Thank you for being OCD (that's me) and thoroughly explaining everything - especially why it is important to have that high loop for the drainage hose. My old dishwasher did not have that high loop and when I disconnected it 2 things happened: I could immediately smell the old, stinky, nasty water that had accumulated in the hose for years and that same nasty water came flowing out onto my floor since the hose was at a lower point than the sink connection. Many people don't have the patience to watch a video this long, but it takes this long to cover everything that is needed, especially considering that there are differences between the Bosch models. So many videos leave out crucial parts for newbies on a Bosch install. Mine has a kickplate that requires installing the metal brackets, but I got that from another video (I know you couldn't literally cover EVERYTHING that each model has, though you showed the brackets at the start). Thanks so much!!!

@@karananand3610 I appreciate your feedback and kind words! Are you getting any error codes? Make sure the water is turned back on. It’s a common forgotten step.

Great video! Yes, there might be more polished videos out there, but to be honest, those make everything look like nobody every has any problems or challenges in getting the job done. Doing this in real-time, unedited, allows us to get a feel for how to really do it in the real world! Good attention to detail, and even though I knew how to do this already, you gave some great reminders on what to prep for before you start... you saved me a trip or two to a hardware store in the middle of a job, which is never as time-efficient as having everything ready before you start! And good Bosch-specific tips! THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!

Thank you SO much! Bought our new Bosch dishwasher from a big box store, paid for delivery/installation. After delivery, they refused to install because there is tile installed around the old dishwasher and they can't be liable for any tile damage or scratches. So now we have to do it ourselves!

Our Bosch dishwasher was installed with the drain hose coming in at the bottom of the cabinet. I could probably anchor it to the side of the cabinet to get to the 33" recommended height. What would i do with the slack?

I have a Bosch dishwasher and the kick plate also includes a rubber apron. Do you have any videos that show how the apron gets attached to the bottom of the dishwasher and the kick plate?

What if it's shorter then the counter? I have about an inch and a quarter? Do you have a store?

O.K.! The most complete Bosch dishwasher install viddie on Internet. I figured I could do the job since it wasn't a new install, but this viddie (what is the presenters name?) helped me relax. Mostly. I bought a lower end unit, series 100. So FYI for the low end folks. The first issue was that the unit didn't come with the water connection pieces, just the drain hose and the power cord. The delivery guys had been down the road before apparently and gave me a universal install kit from the "bone yard" in their truck. All was fine until the final positioning/levelling. I assumed my unit had the very handy rear leg levelling screw in the front of the unit that was in the viddie. Nope. Not on this low end unit. So the factory instructions have you moving the unit in and back out to get that back leg where it needed to be. They make you pretty nervous about being careful with the lines and not stressing connectors etc., but still require that you do it a time or two more. I was also uncomfortable yanking that brand new unit around. After stressing over all that I finally got it square and level........................... But missed hooking up the securing anchors on the unit. Forget it. I wasn't going to pull the unit out again to install them so I made some shims and put them at the top of the unit under my counter top to secure it in place. Right or wrong.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Wow thanks for sharing! Considering you have to frequently open and close the dishwasher, the shims may not last too long. However, it will give you an opportunity to go back to it when you’re ready to add the mounting brackets. Thanks for watching!

Hello, thank you. Check out this link for accessories: linktr.ee/theapplianceplug If you’re missing hardware that comes with the dishwasher or not shown in the link above, you can order from an appliance parts retailer or possibly directly from Bosch providing the model number of your dishwasher. If you need the hardware, I can see if the supplier I deal with has it in stock. Provide me with the model number of your unit and specifically what you would like to order. Good luck!

When attaching the mounting brackets the installation instructions say to grasp the bracket with pliers and fold at the perforation over onto itself instead of cutting off the part that would stick out. A lot smoother edge and no cutting needed.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Yes, I agree with you the edges would be smoother, but I am so use to cutting the brackets because it's how I have always done it. But technically, your way works wonders!

[@jensschroder8214]

Bosch now does this in all countries; they provide the appropriate connection cable, which just needs to be plugged in. For countries without sockets, there is the option of hard wiring. The water supply line turns off the water when it is not needed. In Europe we call this Aquastop. 10:40 Always turn the Teflon tape clockwise. But there is already a seal in there, you don't need any Teflon tape.

[@GraceTeng-ir1ep]

Hi Mike. I am facing a problem where the Bosch dishwasher that I ordered comes with a plug and the receptacle is placed right behind where the dishwasher is supposed to sit. I am also unable to run the pipes to the next cabinet compartment (the one under the sink) at the bottom as the cabinets were sitting on concrete slab (Asian kitchen design). Due to the plug and the thickness of the pipes that cannot be tugged underneath the machine the door of the dishwasher is not flushed with the cabinet door, although the body of the dishwasher is. It's bothering me a lot, aesthetically wise. Then I came across a couple articles where it says that front controlled dishwasher ought to stick out at least 1.5 inches, and I see that the dishwasher you installed in this video is not exactly flushed with the cabinet door as well. May I know whether a dishwasher ought to stick out from safety and functionality aspects?

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Hi Grace, from a safety and functionality aspect, the general rule is that you shouldn’t see the door hinge when you look at the dishwasher from the side. The hinge should be just behind the back side of the cabinet. From an aesthetically pleasing aspect, I usually like to have the front of the dishwasher even with the edge of the counters. Feel free texting me some pictures and I’ll let you know my thoughts. Send them to 813-542-0273. Thanks for watching!
