Whirlpool Dishwasher W10282559A Benutzerhandbuch

With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from 
tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes 
or falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to 
be adjusted.

■

If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension 
by moving the spring end toward the front of the 
dishwasher.

■

If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by 
moving the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher.

■

Springs should be in the same notches on left and right 
sides.

1. Using two or more people, stand the dishwasher up.

2. Grasp the sides of the dishwasher at the 

edges of the door panel.

3. Tilt dishwasher backward on wheels 

and move dishwasher close to cabinet 
opening. Do not push on the front of the 
panel or on the console — they may 
dent.

4. If dishwasher has a power supply cord, 

insert power supply cord into hole cut into cabinet.

If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front side of 
opening.

5. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain 

hose is near the center of the hole in the cabinet.

6. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do 

not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain hose, power supply 
cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.

Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher is in position, you may 
have to support the front of the dishwasher by raising, 
lowering or shimming front feet.

7. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.

8. Using the precut slots in the insulation, attach the insulation 

to the sides of the tub using the molded hooks on each side 
of the tub.

NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. 
Do not remove insulation blanket — the blanket reduces the 
sound level.

1. Align front of dishwasher door panel with cabinet doors. You 

may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.

Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold dishwasher up 
off floor when adjusting front legs.

With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front 
leg using the 

³⁄₁₆" hex head.

2. Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.

3. Close and latch the door. Place the level against the front of 

the dishwasher to check that it is vertically aligned. If needed, 
adjust leveling leg or add shims under rear wheel until 
dishwasher is even.

4. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to prohibit their 
movement when the dishwasher is operated.

5. Place level against top front 

opening of tub. Check that 
dishwasher is level from side to 
side. If dishwasher is not level, 
adjust front legs up or down 
until dishwasher is level.
