STEP 12: POSITION AND LEVEL
DISHWASHER
IM PORTANT-
Dishwasher must be level for
proper dish rack operation, wash performance,
and door operation. The dishwasher must be
leveled left to right and front to back. This assures
that the dish racks will not roll in or out on their
own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet,
and the door will close without hitting the side of
the tub.
• Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on
the door and lower rack track as shown in Figure R.

• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level
indicator is centered left to right and front to back.
The dishwasher door should close without hitting
the sides of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges
for
poor
wash performance and rack operation.
Pull the dish racks halfway out. They should remain
stationary. Open and close the door. The door should
fit in the tub opening without hitting the side of the
tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the door hits the
side of the tub, re-level the dishwasher.
