How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power before adjusting the unit.

Level the dishwasher:

  • Open the door and place a level on the front edge of the tub.
  • Adjust the front leveling feet with a wrench until the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.

Secure mounting:

  • Check that the top or side mounting brackets are firmly screwed into the countertop or cabinet.
  • Add shims at the sides if the opening is too wide, then secure the brackets.
