5.1. Electrical Connection

   • Black wire from cord to Black wire from dishwasher (using a wire nut).
   • White wire from cord to White wire from dishwasher (using a wire nut).
   • Green (ground) wire from cord to Green (ground) screw on the dishwasher chassis.
4. Secure the wire nuts tightly. Ensure no bare wire is exposed.
5. Replace the junction box cover.

5.2. Water Supply Connection

5.3. Drain Hose Connection (If applicable, using existing drain hose)

This kit primarily provides electrical and water supply connections. The dishwasher's drain hose typically connects to an air gap or a garbage disposal inlet. Ensure the drain hose is properly secured with a hose clamp (if provided or existing) and forms a high loop to prevent backflow.

• Connect the dishwasher drain hose to the garbage disposal inlet or air gap.
• Secure with the provided hose clamp.
• Ensure a high loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher.

• Inspect for Leaks: Periodically check the water supply line connections under the sink for any signs of leaks or drips.
• Check Power Cord: Ensure the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
• Clean Connections: If you notice any mineral buildup around water connections, gently clean them.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installation, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power to Dishwasher:
