HOW TO install BOSCH 100 series dishwasher

[@andrewgall1979]

Great video! Right to the point and explained very nicely!! Nothing worse than someone who just tells you their life story while very little work is performed.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Lol glad it helped!

[@briancwir1036]

I sure appreciate the time you took to thoroughly explain the installation process. I’ll be installing mine in a few days.

[@drothers999]

This is the most complete and best video on installing a dishwasher. Thanks.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Glad it helped! :)

[@Dreadlk]

Great video and it covered 98% of the Installation process. The only thing that was missing is the part about leveling out the Dishwasher by adjusting the legs and then putting in the Pinning screws. It is very important to make sure it's 100% level. I would love to see a quick follow up video to see how it has held up after two years.

[@whodat3700]

Helped a ton. Thanx a ton. The instruction book is terrible. Couldn't have done it without you

[@scott.charles.taylor]

[@b1bwnw51]

Good Job ! The written instructions were not clear, with your help, now I know everything I should get before starting the install.

[@blinddog1212]

Great video! Helped me a lot with my installation that I completed today. Glad I watched a few times before diving in myself. A few things about my 100 series: * The electrical connection had three prongs, but not the typical outlet connector. The appliance people at the hardware store provided a junction box converter (junction box gets mounted in a cabinet adjacent to the dishwasher), after which I was able to hook into our three wires. That added a little more time to the install, but was a relatively easy process. * The front panel seems a bit finicky. The left screw doesn't seem to "take", though the right screw went in just fine. Leaving it for now as I'm pooped and the dishwasher is otherwise working fine. Other than that, everything went smoothly! Thanks again and hope you're still enjoying your Bosch!

[@scott.charles.taylor]

That’s great to hear! Yup still enjoying it after 3 years

[@austinstowe1122]

Just installed my Bosch 100 today successfully thanks to your video!

[@GregorMitchell]

You rock! I just bought one of these dishwashers as Consumer Reports rated it the highest of those they tested. I have installed dishwashers myself a few times in the past but it's always nice to have a demonstration beforehand, especially on the same model! Of course mine will have the plug that Joel K mentions but I will have to work around that, I don't have an outlet to install, just the bare wires.

[@daye3371]

Same how did you hook up no electrical box

[@joelk9603]

Hey Scott - excellent video! I just cut the existing cabinets in a kitchen remodel to fit a new Bosch 100 dishwasher, and really appreciate your video. The delivery service must have taken the printed installation manual with them when they unpacked the unit, so your video was a lifesaver! I see the water supply connection under the sink in your video connected to the hot water, but don't remember any mention of the water connection, i.e. "Hot or Cold" to the dishwasher. I believe dishwashers are supposed to be connected to the "Hot" water as you show. Also, my new Bosch 100 came with a connectorized cord that plugs into the back of the dishwasher, and then into a standard 120VAC 3-prong wall outlet. Most dishwasher electrical connections are now made to a GGCI (Ground Fault) outlet under the sink. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Glad the video helped! I heard a lot of the newer dishwashers are coming with outlet plugs which makes things a bit easier for installation; would have been a nice option to have for sure!

[@joelk9603]

Scott - I had to modify an old kitchen cabinet, and was able to get the bare minimum clearances needed to fit the dishwasher. The soundproofing fleece on my Bosch 100 shifted around and bunched up while I did the necessary in/out clearance checks, and made it very difficult to get the dishwasher out of the space. I found that a bit of duct tape placed here and there around the edges to hold the fleece in place helped enormously to keep it from shifting and jamming the dishwasher in the space. It also kept the fleece in place while I laid the dishwasher on its back to connect the water supply, and while I tipped it forward to connect the power plug and drain hose. I left the duct tape pieces in place for the final installation to keep the fleece in place. Works great, and fits just like it should.

[@moretorque]

@@joelk9603 sounds great, Joel!

[@monkch]

I wish I'd watched your video first!! I screwed up where to put the supply line, realized it when I couldn't get the toe kick on and will have to pull it back out tomorrow and fix it... you have a very thorough video.Thanks - M

[@bwj999]

I like that you made a hole for the drainline at 33". Most people feed it below and then you have the chance of losing your high loop.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Thank you, it’s the small things that matter!

[@phoneyjoe]

​@@scott.charles.taylor The installer ran the drain hose at floor level (actually, a few inches above when factoring the bottom of the under-sink cabinet is above floor level). Can I compensate by making a loop with the hose under the sink? The dishwasher was installed 5 years ago. There's always some water in the sump but it has never backed up where there's standing water after a wash cycle. Sometimes there's a mildew odor and that's what brought me to installation videos, where I'm finding out the drain hose isn't installed properly.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

@@phoneyjoe sure thing, you can make the loop wherever you want as long as there is enough slack. You may not have enough to make it reach the 30” mark but anything is better than nothing!

[@saltyshellback]

This is great! My brand new dishwasher came with no instructions! I knew how to hook everything else up except for the cabinet brackets. Thanks for the vid!

[@artyzinn7725]

great vid, I do most of my troubleshooting this way too. But I realize for a new DW you can do water and electrical connections first to the DW, even put DW on its side to make access easier, before inserting the DW into its slot by slowly pushing it in, pulling the water and drain hoses each time to insure it doesn't bunch or kink, and likewise push the power cord in slowly to insure its not kinking. Thank you. BTW on some high end Bosch all these connections are in the back and can be more work. Kudos too to your kitchen lines, so neat!

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Thank you!

[@nstoman8635]

Beautiful professionally demonstrated .I enjoyed it . Thank you

[@joeweatlu5169]

I wish all Bosch would install this way. Connections in the back are a pain in the a$$. The water intake is hard to tighten, and the electrical connection has a lead that is plugged in to the back of the DW, and hard-wire into a junction box under the adjacent cabinet. After installing mine I had to pull it out again because the water intake wasn't tightened enough. If the connections were in the front, it would have been easier.

[@igsaturation]

@@joeweatlu5169 I hear you. The lower end Bosch are like a GE or Whirlpool DW with its connectors a front but the high end are more like European ones with it at back. I can download install and service guides of potential appliances before I buy and being easy to work with factors highly whether I'll get it, above how its works. Enjoy.

[@MikeHussey73]

Did yrs come with a junction box already attached? I just took that dishwasher unit out to put another in. So my old one has that junction box. But the new one doesn’t. But has the moulding where it would go. So I’m wondering how to transfer it over? Nevermind the previous Bosch junction box doesn’t fit the new Bosch. Just took an electrical outlet box mounted near the bottom on the back wall behind dishwasher and plugged in the unit with the plug that came with it. Apparently they’ve done away with the hardwire junction boxes that are attached to the unit like the one in the video. Because they don’t want customers to play with electrical. They want an outlet in the wall and just plug it in. Done.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Hey, no mine did not come with a junction box, I had to hardwire it in. You may have to do the same with your junction box.

[@MikeHussey73]

I had 2 options. 1 attach a female plug to the 120v wire/ a 125v/20amp one. That’s extra coverage. Or. 2. Electrical outlet box on the out side of the drywall and run the hardwire into box and connect to an electrical outlet. Then plug it in. With the plug that came with it. I went with #2

[@anonymousing]

Whats the tube on the left? Condensation? Vent?

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Yes, the hose on the side is just a condensation port that hooks up to the drain hose. You can just ignore it.

[@itr0863]

My 100 series did not come with the insulation on top. Is that something I have to purchase or should that come with it?

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Hi James, no that's not a big deal. I would try to get the dishwasher as level and square as possible in the space by adjusting the legs, that way the gap is consistent and is not an eyesore .

[@jwb0323]

@@scott.charles.taylor thanks, another question, does it matter if the water line goes into the dishwasher cabinet, behind the dishwasher, and is then threaded through the bottom to the front? I’m wondering if I need to adjust the hole in the cabinet so I can thread it differently . Does that make sense?😊

[@scott.charles.taylor]

@@jwb0323 Not sure if I’m following, but I don’t think it matters too much. The norm is for the line to enter the cabinet at the back, and it’s usually routed on the floor under the dishwasher.

[@jwb0323]

@@scott.charles.taylor i think i was just confusing myself 😁 i have it hooked up, do you think it best to run an empty cycle just to check for leaks on the bottom or go ahead and put dishes in?

[@scott.charles.taylor]

@@jwb0323 Doesn't hurt to run an empty cycle for sure, this way you can check for leaks. After the empty cycle, I would double check all connections to ensure they're tight and leak free. Once you've confirmed everything is leak free, you can put the lower panel back on to cover up everything :)

I'm replacing a dishwasher with a new Bosch Ascenta model. I currently have a 3-prong plug and outlet for old dishwasher. Will I be able to use the same for new Bosch dishwasher?

My Bosch 100 did not come with a felt liner, just some black rubber coating around it. Is that normal? It's loud as hell running at 64 decibels when it's supposed to be at 50.

I set the feet lower than the counter height, slid it in under the counter, and then raised them little by little until I got it where I wanted it and then made sure it was level. Once it’s in it’s not too bad to raise the feet, the back one may be a little tricky to reach, but the front ones are very easy to raise while the dishwasher is in. Just use your other hand to lift the dishwasher a little to get some weight off the legs.

There’s really only 2 standard sizes If you look into the drain tube, you’ll see it narrows down. So if it’s too large for your y-pipe under the sink, you’ll cut it at the next size down Do this at your own risk :)

You can also see the strain relief at 6:23; it’s the grey plastic clamp around the wire. You pull it through the hole in the back of the junction box and it clips in. Hope that helps!

It is used because the inside compartment is air tight, so the Water Pump would have a very hard time fighting the increasing vacuum that is created as water is removed. The air hose lets air into the compartment to prevent a Vacuum forming while also staying above the water level height so that no water can leak out.

Helpful video, though you might want to wear sturdy shoes when doing work like this.

The second tube on the side?!

[@scott.charles.taylor]

It’s part of the drain loop, you don’t do anything with it.

[@kevinwride6682]

@@scott.charles.taylor thank you!

[@TerminatoR99]

Thanks! The instructions provided by Bosch were very unclear! :)

Installed mine yesterday. Has power, no leaks, but when I run a cycle, the soap never leaves the tray or dissolves. Everything inside gets wet, thing just keeps running forever but no cleaning. Any suggestions?

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Is the soap dispenser opening? Usually you can hear it snap open within the first 10 or so minutes of the cycle.

[@AndyTargaryen]

@@scott.charles.taylor It is not opening, thing will go for hours, when I check it, soap pod is exactly as I put it in.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

@@AndyTargaryen You'll need to check with the store or manufacturer then, something isn't releasing the door as it should.

Thanks. Very helpful to visually confirm the written instructions.

excellent job!!!

Nice work.

Mine dosent have the metal electrical box on it ??????

[@roberts1159]

Current model has a plugin cord vs hardwired like the one shown in his video. You will need to purchase the hardwired kit. But you have probably figured that out already.

Amazing tutorial, I am about to purchase a Bosch 100 series dishwasher and this was amazingly helpful. Way better than anything on Bosch's website. How does it do drying the dishes, because I see mixed reviews on that online. I know rinse aid helps a lot.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Drying seems fine, no complaints yet. I usually leave the door open after a cycle to let most of the moisture evaporate out.

[@tonyhwang3888]

How about wearing some protective shoes?

[@scott.charles.taylor]

I don't wear shoes in my house

[@tonyhwang3888]

@@scott.charles.taylor We do too but when working with tools unexpected accident can happen like dropping a tool. Always safety FIRST for me.

Those tabs are supposed to be folder back not taken off from what I see in my instructions.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Either will work, if you fold it the stress of folding the metal will eventually break it.

[@timothyoconnor6937]

I just bought that dishwasher and a power cord is now needed. It cannot be hard wired but great video otherwise.

[@kennywonderley5883]

Did you forget that there is water in a dishwasher and that it knowing the correct water level is VERY important. An unlevel dishwasher may not have the correct amount of water filled. More important. If it tilts away from the drain, you could some old water stay inside after done. You want to level the dishwasher before you install it. It assumes that your floors in front of the dishwasher is level, but that assumption is safe. Assuming a countertop is level is not. Even if your counter top is level, you did not check the level as far as front and back. You also did not put in the screw for the back leg to keep it from moving as it is wiggled into place or vibrates during use. Put a bubble level on your rack and see if the back leg needs adjusting.

[@scott.charles.taylor]

Al good points!

I got it open, is it normal you have to pry it open? The lever notch seems caved in
