Pro-Tip... Tilt the dishwasher backwards to unscrew the junction box screw before you connect the water... That only took me an hour to figure out lol

[@LGUSASupport]

Hi Luisa, We want to say a warm thank you for helping us out and the community. We value your feedback, and it not only helps us, and the rest of the community. Should you need our help, Please reach out and let us know.~Tanisha

[@BrettRowberry]

I had to tilt back, hit the screw with silicone spray, and go at it with a screwdriver on the head and pliers on the shaft.

[@yessireemaam]

@Mrv1960agreed. That was the hardest part of the install.

[@MrsShamrock1]

The screw for the Junction Box is hella tight :(

[@me5768]

Yes, it is

[@brucelemmermanfanclub9217]

Agreed

[@calviny9384]

Yes it was

[@steve_main]

3:48 That dishwasher is like 2 inches away from the top of the cabinet!! Is this huge hole supposed to be here? is this space for storing baking sheets??

[@srtpusher]

That gap miraculously disappears at 4:30 ... The storage would be nice, 😂

[@ronlitz9055]

Are there top mounts to secure the dishwasher from tilting forward? I tried to fasten it from the side and, as someone said before, the screw pulled right through the metal side mounting. I did not receive top mounts with my yet unfinished project.

[@steve_main]

4:14 There is no way that small screw is going into the side of the cabinet. You made your dishwashers so they are 1/2 of an inch smaller then the space so you have 1/4 on both sides of a typical opening. Does anyone at LG even install these things?

[@LGUSASupport]

I’m sorry to hear you're having this issue, and I’d like to see if we can assist. Please contact LG Customer Support by direct message via Twitter ( @LGUSSupport ) or Facebook Messenger ( facebook.com/LGUSA/ ), and include your contact details, the model & serial numbers, and a detailed description of the issue. ^NS

[@srtpusher]

I thought it was my cabinets... I had to get longer screws to side mount it.

[@Laughingmadman42]

If your power cord is behind the dishwasher, You will need a 90° plug ... and the wire should be 14 gauge wire with ground wire. 14 gauge. Not 16 gauge like in the Manual... But other than that, great video. Ps. If you bought it at Best Buy. You'll have to buy all the parts yourself, even if you have it installed by them. Parts $100. ($224. Installation fee. )

Hi, Jeffrey. Your comment provides valuable insights and highlights important details for people planning to install a dishwasher behind the dishwasher. Great job on sharing this information, and we're sure it will be helpful to many DIY enthusiasts and homeowners!

Why the drain hose doesn’t connect to an air vent cap? The wasted water in the sink might get into dishwasher

[@LGUSASupport]

Hi Henry. Thank you for your concern about the drain hose connection. We recommend consulting our installation manual or a professional plumber to ensure proper drainage and prevent potential backflow issues. If you need further assistance, feel free to send us a private message through our support channels on social media @LGUSSupport with the model number of your unit. We're here to help. ^Win

[@schenkkohain]

Do you have to remove the back black shipping cover? I connected my dishwasher and followed the video but the machine just doesn’t fill or start. I have power and can set the delay start and all that stuff. What gives? It’s leveled. No kinks. Very frustrating.

[@LGUSASupport]

We understand that dealing with unexpected issues can be frustrating, especially after carefully following the instructions. It's great that you've taken the time to ensure everything is set up correctly. Please send us a message on social media @LGUSSupport. We will work with you through this issue and do our best to help resolve it.

[@Jellybellycat]

Show us how loud it is when you close the door to the unit. Why pay extra for a 42 db unit only to have the door closure loud enough to wake the dead?

[@jpn9296]

my dishwasher sits level from top and from inside wall, exactly as shown in the video, but not quite level from the back inside wall of the tub.... as long as it's leveled by what's shown in the video, is that ok? I'm assuming the back wall might be slightly curved by design?

[@LGUSASupport]

Hey there, these specifications should allow everything to run smooth. Should you have any concerns, try re-leveling and reaching us on Facebook or X using @LGUSSupport with your model, serial, and phone number. ~TammyJo

[@avflyguy]

@@LGUSASupport Thanks for reaching out on a follow-up. The machine was installed last Saturday. All the fittings matched. For some reason, nothing is drying. Have run 2 cycles and everything in the dishwater is still soaking wet. Have not used "jet-dry' or similar yet, and no water in bottom of the tub. Very strange. Ideas?

[@LGUSASupport]

Hi, Good Morning, I do apologized that you are having this kind of issue on your unit. Mind me asking, is the unit professionally installed, if you can also send us a private message. Thank you so much. *Leah

[@srtpusher]

They changed the name on this black part to say REMOVABLE instead of REMOVE. 1:08 Guess what? I didn't remove it and now it is in the way. Why did you change the wording? Nothing is gained by leaving that part attached.

[@ramsund6494]

This video was great help - Thank you sir.

[@gbj6581]

Does this dishwasher need to be connected to a garbage disposal. Also can the dishwasher drain conenct directly to an air gap wich then goes into the garbage disposal?

[@LGUSASupport]

LG dishwashers do not necessarily need to be connected to a garbage disposal. However, it is common for dishwashers to be connected to a drain line, and many homes have a garbage disposal as part of their plumbing setup. When connecting a dishwasher drain, it is generally recommended to use an air gap or a high-loop method to prevent backflow of wastewater into the dishwasher. It's important to follow local plumbing codes and regulations when installing or modifying dishwasher drain connections. If you are unsure about the specific requirements or best practices for your area, it's recommended to consult a licensed plumber or a professional installer for guidance. For detailed instructions on dishwasher installation, it's best to refer to the user manual provided by LG for your specific dishwasher model. The manual will include specific instructions and diagrams to help ensure proper installation and drainage. ^Danee

of course you wouldn't know each jurisdiction in Canada and USA but what are the legalities for installing ones own DW? Is a building permit needed and what is the liability for installing ones own in a Strata lot or insurance rules if a DW fails because of incorrect installation?

[@ionamic]

There isn't enough info on the drain hose. What if you are NOT connecting to a Garbage Disposal? What is you have o choice but to connect to the sewer line or an existing drain hose already in the wall?

[@dylanjordan8970]

What if our power line doesn’t have a green wire, I have black, white and a copper line

[@LGUSASupport]

Hi Dylan! The three wires are a hot wire, which should be black or sometimes red; a neutral wire, which should be white; and a ground wire, which should be green or bare. ^Danee

[@GoogleDoesEvil]

Your "copper line" is the green ground wire.

I could not read the manual that came with my new dishwasher because the font was too small. so i watched this video instead. from the video i assumed that the leveling screw mentioned for the back feet was in the back of the unit. that did not make any sense. then i found the manual online where i could read that the leveling screw was in the front. now i get it. this video is helpful but incomplete. in any event i now know how to level my dishwasher. if anyone has trouble be sure to read the manual. life's good.

BUYER BEWARE -- After 1.5 year, Dishwasher control panel fails and you WILL have a $800 rock. It WILL start bugging out, goes blank, and does not finishing washing cycle. Or sometimes the lights just go on a fritz before it dies for the day. I saw many reviews stating the same issue. LG is clever though!! LG says their warranty is only 1 year -- so because I'm over by 4 months, they will not pay for labor on the warranty. My dishwasher was $800 and the labor to repair will be $650 because it's "outside the 1 year labor" by 4 months. I also had to call LG twice to even talk to anyone. The first time I called LG customer service, the LG rep FELL ASLEEP during the call. This is LG customer service experience that you can expect if you buy LG. I bet if I opened up this dishwasher, it will be cheaply-glued with poor parts inside. BUYER BEWARE !! $800 rock in your kitchen.
