I used to install DWs in college.  They can be tricky.  Old houses with questionable wiring were always fun.

They're all that way, actually Whirlpool is probably worst of all since switching from pipe thread to hose thread on their intake valves.



ETA - each home is different, and the manufacturers don't want to pay for every possible installation part & accessory for every imaginable installation scenario.

I'm fucking bleeding, my kids have added a few new gems to their NC17 vocabulary, and my wife is fucking pissed.

All this cause I was trying to be nice and surprise the sammich maker.

9.5 out of 10

Extra point for "motherfucking blue fuck", but you lost a point for not including at least one "fuckity fuck fuck fuck".

I feel for you as I am having dishwasher issues today also, first it was leaking, fixed that , now the power decided to die,  FUCK MY LIFE!

Most people don't install their own dishwashers, and those that choose to, should only need one trip to the store.

Sigh, sometimes those who consider themselves a "do it your selfer" would do themselves a favor if they DIDN'T try to install something they have never installed before. There is a reason I carry around $100,000 worth of stuff in the vehicle. And I STILL don't have everything I need all the time.

Teflon tape is for amateurs BTW.

to all of you naysayers, I'm a GC.  I've prolly watched my plumbers install 500 dishwashers over the years. Obviously watching does not equal doing!    I knew what I was getting into but was too stupid to plan ahead by expecting the worst.  The flex copper that was on the old dishwasher couldn't make the sharper bend required by the front location of the water supply on the Bosch (which ruined the compression fitting).  That was the second trip.  The first trip was me being stupid and ignoring the outside of the box which clearly stated that I needed a 3/8" NPT 90 deg fitting.  I'm a guy.  Of course I know better than the directions!  The third trip was for the braided flex water supply line after I tried to force the flex copper and finally crimped it.  Fuck it I said and gave in to the almighty SS braided wtare supply line.

Yes, I see so many more leaks on teflon tape a few years after install as compared to pipe dope it's not funny. Also, people tend to use teflon tape where one is not supposed to a lot more then dope, it's for pipe threads only just like dope is. For some reason, it seems to very popular on flared fittings.

No good deed ever goes unpunished.  It's a fact of life.  

PS I'm going through a kitchen remodel right now but I'm paying someone to do it.  The new dishwasher arrives on Tuesday.

Manufacturer recommended Teflon tape on 90 deg fitting to dishwasher connection.  I learned my lesson.  I'll follow the fuggin directions from now on.  

FWIW, It's a brass to plastic connection.  Is that an appropriate place to use dope?
