Possible Causes

Dishwasher not leveled, Loose mounting brackets, Flexible drain or inlet hoses pulling on unit, Uneven flooring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the dishwasher is empty or partially loaded before adjusting its position.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level on the front edge of the tub. Adjust front and rear leveling legs until the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
  • Secure mounting: Check that the dishwasher is firmly attached to the countertop or side cabinets using the provided brackets.
  • Check hoses: Ensure drain and inlet hoses have enough slack and are not pulling the unit sideways.
  • Floor stability: If the floor is uneven or soft, consider adding shims under the legs for stability.

Warning: Excessive movement can stress plumbing and electrical connections, leading to leaks or shorts.
