4. Installation

Follow these steps to install the new water inlet hose:

4.1 Preparation

Disconnect Power: Unplug the dishwasher from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the dishwasher.
Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the water shut-off valve for your dishwasher (usually under the sink or behind the dishwasher) and turn it off completely.
Position Dishwasher: Carefully pull the dishwasher out from its cabinet to access the rear connections.

4.2 Removing the Old Hose

Disconnect from Water Supply: Place a towel and a bucket under the water inlet connection. Unscrew the old water inlet hose from the household water supply valve. Expect some residual water to drain.
Disconnect from Dishwasher: Unscrew the old water inlet hose from the dishwasher's water inlet valve.
Disconnect Electrical Connector (if applicable): If your old hose has an Aqua Stop feature with an electrical connector, carefully disconnect it from the dishwasher's wiring harness.
Remove Drain Hose (if integrated): If the old hose includes an integrated drain hose, carefully detach it from the dishwasher's drain connection.

4.3 Installing the New Hose

Connect to Dishwasher Water Inlet: Screw the new water inlet hose (the end with the Aqua Stop unit) onto the dishwasher's water inlet valve. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter to half turn. Do not overtighten.
Connect Electrical Connector: If your new hose has an electrical connector for the Aqua Stop feature, securely plug it into the corresponding wiring harness on the dishwasher. Ensure a firm connection.

4.4 Post-Installation Checks

Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the main water supply valve.
Check for Leaks: Carefully inspect all connections (at the dishwasher and at the household water supply) for any signs of water leaks. Tighten connections slightly if necessary, but do not overtighten.
Position Dishwasher: Carefully push the dishwasher back into its cabinet, ensuring no hoses are kinked or pinched.
Restore Power: Plug the dishwasher back into the electrical outlet or turn on the circuit breaker.
Test Run: Run a short wash cycle to confirm proper operation and check for any leaks during the cycle.

5. Operating Considerations

Once installed, the Aqua Stop water inlet hose operates automatically with your dishwasher. The Aqua Stop mechanism is designed to detect leaks within the hose or at the dishwasher's water inlet and automatically shut off the water supply to prevent flooding.

Ensure the hose is not kinked or bent sharply, as this can restrict water flow or damage the hose.
Do not place heavy objects on the hose.

6. Maintenance

Regular inspection of the water inlet hose can help prevent potential issues:

Periodic Visual Check: Every few months, inspect the entire length of the hose for any visible signs of wear, cracks, bulges, kinks, or leaks.
Connection Integrity: Check the connections at both the dishwasher and the water supply valve to ensure they remain tight and free of leaks.
Aqua Stop Unit: Ensure the Aqua Stop unit itself is not damaged and its electrical connection is secure.
Replacement: If any damage is detected, replace the hose immediately to prevent water damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing the hose, consider the following:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No water entering dishwasher	Water supply valve is off. Hose is kinked or pinched. Aqua Stop mechanism activated due to a leak. Filter in the hose connection is blocked.	Ensure water supply valve is fully open. Check hose routing and straighten any kinks. Inspect for leaks; if Aqua Stop is tripped, the hose may need replacement. Disconnect hose and clean any debris from the filter screen.
Water leak at connections	Connections are not tight enough. Damaged rubber washer/gasket.	Turn off water, tighten connections slightly. Turn off water, inspect and replace rubber washers if damaged.
Aqua Stop unit tripped (red indicator visible)	Internal leak detected within the hose. External leak at connections.	The hose is designed to be replaced if the Aqua Stop unit trips due to an internal leak. Check and tighten external connections.
