Great video, made simple. I've made some notes whilst watching this: Step 1) Turn Water Supply off Step 2) Disconnect Old Hose Step 3) Connect one end of the COLD WATER HOSE onto the water supply and feed it through to the dishwasher Step 4) Turn the water back on and check for leaks Step 5) Pull through the DRAIN hose from the dishwasher through the same hole as the COLD WATER HOSE, under the sink Step 6) Place the Dishwasher in place Step 7) Pull the remaining excess of the DRAIN HOSE under the sink and attach it to the DRAIN SPIGETT, use a jubilee clip Step 8) Reposition the height of the drain hose to prevent sink ester from entering the dishwasher Tools Required: 1) Grips 2) Screwdriver 3) Jubilee Clip
Thanks for the comments, presenting is certainly a skill that not everyone has. We have been lucky to get some great presenters to pass on the information in our videos.
I wish my sink cabinet was that tidy but sadly it isn't. However, I can still make it work and I now know what I need to do... Get a double spigot. I was going to cut the drain pipe at the bottom however, I'll of course run the risk of the water not draining efficiently. So thank you.
The drain hose needs to be either passed through a second hole as high as you can under the counter or looped and supported as high as you can under the counter. The idea is if the sink drain ever backed up instead of dumping into your dishwasher it would back up into your sink until it reached the height of your loop and then would dump into your dishwasher. To prevent this completely you would need an air gap that would fit where a traditional sprayer goes.
Hi, Becky, the video shows the most common way a dishwasher is installed so most people will be able to identify with this installation as most will not have a second hole in the units or an air break.Thank you for your comment and your input.
Yes ma'am, that's the correct way to do it. The loop on the drain hose has to be at least 32" above the floor, or use an Air Gap and not have any problems, though, if you have a dishwasher with a garbage disposal in it, you can't use the Air Gap method, (all it will do is plug from the particles coming from the dishwasher).
Dishwashers don't come with a garbage disposal. It is a marketing gimmick. It is simply a flimsy macerator that helps break down very soft foods. It's awful marketing because it encourages customers to put dirtier dishes and larger chunks of food in assuming the machine will take care of it.
*shows the wrong way to install a drain line* "If you get a problem, raise it" Can you seriously go to school or read a manual before making videos misleading people? You should have a drain loop immediately coming out of the dishwasher at LEAST 30" high and leading down to your connection. 90% of people installing it your way will have an issue i guarantee it, whether that is an awful smell or poor cleaning or both. Take this video down because it's embarrassing.
Hi marinrezaie, most modern machines only fill with cold water now and heat from the machine, if you connect to the hot you can cause issues if the water is hotter than the program temperature it may not work.
Great vid, helped me to find the reason why my washer was flooding. I didn't have a dishwasher in before and the sneaky drain connection was blocked from the inside. Now I'm thinking of the best way to unblock. Probably will drill through the plastic. is this a good idea??
Hi Mathew, many modern kitchens have the type of plumbing under the sink that you can add as shown at 1:57 . If as suggested you need to open the end of an unused spigot you can cut it off using either a small saw or a strong sharp knife (take care with craft knifes as they can break and cause injury). Just remember if you remove the dishwasher hose you will need to block the spigot or sink water may run into the cupboard below.
Yeah I went with the lazy approach and just drilled through the base of the spiggot thing. I did a bit of a crappy job (approx half of the max bore). Just finished my second cycle all good with no leaks :) Cheers for the vid tho it pointed me in the right direction to find the cause of the previous flood. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the video. Few questions: 1. Can you please tell what is the dual tap called? and what is the white bottle that connected to one of its ends? 2. Did you had to cut the pipe or you also could connected it via the split are when it connected to another pipe (5 cm above).Thanks!
Hi li Ly, the dual tap is called a Y piece, the white bottle has nothing to do with the installation but it is a water filter, the connection to the drainage would have to be cut to size.
Hi mercenarym18 it is normally recommended to connect to the cold water supply, if it is connected to the hot supply it can affect the programmes as the hot water may be higher than the wash temperature causing issues.
Hi i have a dishwasher and its not connected to the water supply when i plug it in the wall and preas start it makes a humming sound or whinning sound does the motor needs yo be replaced?
You can add an additional spigot by using the following kit: www.espares.co.uk/product/es503411/drain-out-kit With this you have the tool to cut a hole in the existing pipe and attach the 'saddle' that fits around the pipe and accepts the hose.
Hi, I have a bosch dishwasher but there is already a washing machine using the one set already there. I believe I need two Y brackets - one for the cold water supply and another for the spigot to have two double ends. Could you help and post both products for this please?
Hi cadel, if you need the Y piece we sell that on our website www.espares.co.uk/search?SearchTerm=y%20piece but the spigot you would need a plumbers merchant.
If there are two spigots to accept a waste hose one could be used for the washing machine and the other for the dishwasher. When connecting make sure any cap blocking the spigot is removed and the pipe is looped up above the sink water level to stop the machine 'back filling'.
If your installing what used to be a portable dishwasher under the cabinet, do you need to leave (looks like bricks) these on the back part of the machine?
Hi Carolyn, often some dishwashers and small cookers have concrete weights at the back. These are to ensure the appliance does not tip over when the door is open especially if the basket is loaded and extended out.
got a question have no place to put it in my kitchen so im just going to put it next to my cabinets someone is giving it to me can you just run the drain hose right in your sink so you dont have to hook it up underneath to the pipes
+scoobdoosreviewsandgiveaways You can usually run most drain hoses up to a sink but make sure the hose cannot drop off or misdirect the water or you may end up with a flood.
Hi Darren, well observed. Most Dishwashers should always be connected to the cold feed as they have heaters for the wash cycle and need cold for the rinse. The reason it appears to be a hot tap is simple. When I installed my kitchen I had a red washing machine tap in my plumbing bits so used that rather than running out to replace it (you can see the other half of the supply is going off through a water filter to supply my fridge). I hope this clears this up. :-)
Glad you cleared that up. I was wonsering same and looked for someone tjat commented on it. I would not have known it heats its own water, but I guess that makes sense. Otherwise, water might not get hot in time.
@@Mike-hw5jpI'm going to say it because clearly they are too polite despite you spamming stupidity everywhere. This is an installation in the UK. Not the USA. In the UK the dishwashers connect to cold water pipes and heat the water up themselves, this is due to how British homes are plumbed. Every single thing you've raised might be correct in the USA, but the USA is not the entire world.

Hi Handy Man Gan, the Y piece in the video is standard for your washing machine and dishwasher, the other part was not part of the video but looks like a water filter.
Hi Shelly, you can install the outlet to the sink but you would require a one-way trap fitted at the end which stops anything from the sink going back into the dishwasher.
All dishwashers (unless stated) should be connected to the cold water supply. The only exception is if there are two water inputs then hot and cold should both be connected.
Are they the same connectors for a dishwasher as it is for a washing machine? I'm asking because I want to get a dishwasher to replace my washing machine and I've had no experience at all with dishwashers
+Spydah666 Sorry I am late answering but CZcams has just 'found' your question. Washing machines and dishwashers both need the same type of power, water supply and drain to work so it should be easy to remove one and replace with another.
Hi, I want to install a dishwasher, but only have room for it on the other side of the kitchen far away from the sink. There is a spare cold water supply there (caped off at the moment) and an electric supply, my only concern is the waste/drainage. Will I be able to just run the waste pipe connected to other lengths of pipe under/behind two existing units and behind the cooker (that worries me due to heat from the oven?) and then through a hole in the kitchen wall to the outside and then run a length of pipe directly to the outside drain (but I'll have to run the pipe under the back kitchen door under the door frame in order to get to the drain)? I'm also concerned about the waste/drainage not being at a steep enough level. Do you think it will be OK?
+ram ramboo Not a straight forward question to answer there. The key things to consider are: 1. The water flows through a longer pipe slower so it would be better if the pipe is larger than the drain hose. 2. There should be an 'air break' in the hose and it should be set higher than the machines water level or the water can either run out or syphon away. 3. if the hose is being fitted into an open 'hockey stick' pipe on the wall, if there is not sufficient fall in the pipe water may 'back up' and overflow the pipe during emptying. This video shows connecting to a sink drain connection. Is it not possible to connect to a nearer drain pipe?.
+eSpares No it isn't possible, it's a galley kitchen with the fridge, washing machine, unit and sink unit on one side, no more room for anything else, so unless I build an extension are you saying I can't do it?
+ram ramboo As i tried to explain we cannot tell whether all appliances connected in the manner you describe will work correctly and do not have specific listings on hose lengths and drain pipe angles. We have tried to suggest there may be problems but you may find your dishwasher works perfectly. If you already own the dishwasher I would suggest you set up a temporary test before drilling holes and moving cabinets to see if any of the problems I have warned about show on your installation. Generally manufacturers state the drain hose should be fitted into an open ended pipe of an approved type for washing machines like the one shown here: www.espares.co.uk/product/es1669254
Hi Prakash, Most machines will only have one water input so must be connected to a cold water supply as it will heat the water when required. It needs the cold input to help condense the steam after a cycle. In the America's some machines will also require a hot fill as they may not have their own water heater.
At 2:45 we point out the importance of lifting the hose above the pipe to prevent water running back into the machine, on some models there will be a flap valve on the pump that can prevent this.
I was thinking that too. Our washing machine was leaving water in the bottom of the machine which was also smelly. My wife was about to call someone out (expensive) but I had a look and lifted the hose so that the waste from the sink didn’t go into the washing machine. We had the hoses go through the side of the cabinet rather than up through the bottom of the cabinet.
I have a question sir my dishwasher is ok but after finish drying when i washing a little bit im baul kommt direkt the water in dishwasher .what is the Problem?ill try everything but i dont know whats wrong 😦. Can you help me please 👍thanks
Hi Daisy, it is perfectly normal to have water inside the dishwasher at the end of the program, if the dishwasher is not draining any water out then check your filter and test the drain pump before checking the plumbing.
Connecting the drain hose in this way is 'not approved' by most manufacturers as water can back fill from the sink and when on the rinse cycle the machine can continue to siphon out after the pump has stopped. However often this can be done without problems as long as the hose is lifted as high as possible under the units before it connects to the pipework.
Hi Brandon, how the power supply hooks up varies a lot depending on if it is hard wired, through a cupboard, a worktop or just going into a socket but the rest of the procedure is similar depending on your model.
cold water supply? thats a first.......here in North America we connect it to the hot. better have some good detergent if you want to run a load with cold water.
Hi Manny, in the UK the dishwashers fill with cold and heat inside the machine and that way you only heat the water you need to clean the dishes saving you money as it's cheaper.
@@eSpares ah i see, well on the flip side heating the cold water inside a load will rack up the electrical bill no? so i would debate if its actually cheaper in the long run to run it that way.
I want to install my dishwasher into a space under my built in draining board but there's a trap in the way which will block it. Do you know how to get around this? Thanks!
Hi Simon, the only way to do this is to re-position the trap. We do not think you will find plumbing fittings to significantly move the outlet connector but check with DIY. stores or Plumber merchants. The only other ways will usually involve either replacing the worktop and cutting the sink in a different position offset to one side. Or it may be possible to but a different sink where the outlets are in a n offset position.
Some machines in the US have two connections and they can be connected to the hot supply,, but If a dish washer has only one water inlet connection it should be connected to the cold water as it will have its own water heater. If you connect it just to the hot it means it rinses with hot water and cannot cool the cavity to help dry the dishes.
THANK YOU so much for this explanation!!! I'm preparing to install a dishwasher for the first time. I also thought I should connect the supply line to the hot water. Wow, am I glad I read through the comments and found this VERY helpful information. Thanks again for a great video and for answering all the questions and comments!!!
hi Jean Jacques von Bajcura, thank you for your post and you are right it would have been slightly easier to fit the drain hose onto the spigot first before attaching it to the sink.
+nolan scire Thanks for your comments. If your dishwasher only has one connection it should be connected to the COLD water supply. This is because it has its own heater that will heat only the water required for the cycle and not waste heat drawing water through the pipes that may not be hot by the time the machine is full. Also during the drying cycle the machine needs to cool the cavity to help the steam condense and help dry the load. We have mentioned in previous comments that it is important if your dishwasher outlet has not got a 'one way valve' that the hose must be above the connection to prevent the sink back filling the machine.
+nolan scire The valve is usually at the drain pump spigot inside the machine and an example can be seen on another video here: czcams.com/video/NtjMDlKRbWI/video.htmlm8s
Hi Joey, thank you for the comment regarding the power supply it is mentioned in the video at 0.49 that the cable was passed through the cupboard but it was not shown on camera.
Hi Joey, most dishwashers come with a fitted plug to connect to the nearest power socket. If we included fitting the plug it would be specific to the Unite Kingdom, without showing the plug the information will apply to most dishwashers worldwide other than the America's.
Hi Mike. If your machine has two hose input connections it is likely to need both connected. European machines almost all have only cold water inputs and heat only the water they need inside the machine. Many (if not most) machines in the America's have both hot and cold fill and may not have a heater.
Ami the only person who wat he'd this abd still has no idea if i buy a dishwasher that' I have the right connections under my sink lol. I know im a woman and I'm old. Maybe that's what my issue is bababa
+Jezz Treras The principles must be the same as any machine requires the three basic things. Power to run the appliance, Water to fill the appliance and a drain to take the water when the cycle is finished. Local differences may vary as to how you connect these. :-)
You never put the drainhose like that. You need to put it higher than down again on the outlet pipe. You need also waterguard with sensor under the dishwasher. and 28mm brackets on the drain hose pipe. Dishwasher is a big problem and cost the insurgent company's a lot of money. But nice video :)
Great video, made simple.
I've made some notes whilst watching this:
Step 1) Turn Water Supply off
Step 2) Disconnect Old Hose
Step 3) Connect one end of the COLD WATER HOSE onto the water supply and feed it through to the dishwasher
Step 4) Turn the water back on and check for leaks
Step 5) Pull through the DRAIN hose from the dishwasher through the same hole as the COLD WATER HOSE, under the sink
Step 6) Place the Dishwasher in place
Step 7) Pull the remaining excess of the DRAIN HOSE under the sink and attach it to the DRAIN SPIGETT, use a jubilee clip
Step 8) Reposition the height of the drain hose to prevent sink ester from entering the dishwasher
Tools Required:
1) Grips
2) Screwdriver
3) Jubilee Clip

which water should use home dishwasher cold water or hot water can you please suggest me
Hi Prakash, Most machines will only have one water input so must be connected to a cold water supply as it will heat the water when required. It needs the cold input to help condense the steam after a cycle.
In the America's some machines will also require a hot fill as they may not have their own water heater.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND REPLY
I HAVE ASKO DISHWASHIN MACHINE I THINK ONLY COLD WATER ENOUGHT FOR THIS MACHINE
😊
Brilliant and without all that annoying American BS.
Glad you liked our video Gordon, we may have a more you find usefull here:

What American BS?
Lol agreed!! is there **any** escape from American bs anywhere on the internet?? Or on the planet for that matter
What about the hot water inlet
Hi Lohita Naidu, in the UK dishwashers are usually cold fill only and it heats the water with a heater from inside.
@@eSpares Thank you for the reply.
👍 Thanks
Hi Daisy, your welcome ☺
Cold Water line?
Hi Dennis, that is the cold water feed to the dishwasher.
Dennis Shove .I also think Cold water feed to the dishwasher is a incorrect way.
@@Realtor-PennyLi it is wrong. Cold water doesn't break down particles. See how long it take to dissolve sugar in cold water.
All modern dishwasher are cold fill only and heat up inside the machine.
@@darieninvegas the machine heats the water
won't the drain back up if it's that low?
At 2:45 we point out the importance of lifting the hose above the pipe to prevent water running back into the machine, on some models there will be a flap valve on the pump that can prevent this.
I was thinking that too. Our washing machine was leaving water in the bottom of the machine which was also smelly. My wife was about to call someone out (expensive) but I had a look and lifted the hose so that the waste from the sink didn’t go into the washing machine. We had the hoses go through the side of the cabinet rather than up through the bottom of the cabinet.
Did I miss the power(110v) part of the video??
Hi Spencer, Josh did mention that he had fitted the cable into position but it was not shown in the video.
eSpares ok
Erm... You need to be shown how to insert a plug into the socket?
thanks for your help, by the way i like your british accent
Thanks Kamal, glad we helped.
Nice one 👍
Hi thekartman1, we're glad to hear this video helped you.
Wonderful, very useful.
+MrJambot Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it. :-)
I have a question sir my dishwasher is ok but after finish drying when i washing a little bit im baul kommt direkt the water in dishwasher .what is the Problem?ill try everything but i dont know whats wrong 😦. Can you help me please 👍thanks
Hi Daisy, don't know what went wrong but when you were describing the fault the words have gotten mixed up, can you let us know what the fault is.
@@eSpares Sir they have always water inside of my dishwasher after i using. Thanks Sir👍
Hi Daisy, it is perfectly normal to have water inside the dishwasher at the end of the program, if the dishwasher is not draining any water out then check your filter and test the drain pump before checking the plumbing.
Does this process work for a table one? :)
Hi Julia, the process is basically the same as both need an electric supply, water and a drain for the water to empty.
Thanks easy
very good
Thanks Fabian for the comments, remember to 'like’ the video if you enjoyed it or it helped.👍
Can you do the same thing with a washing machine with Clothes
Hi Mike, we have another video for installing washing machines here:
czcams.com/video/Leqc63H8G3Y/video.html
What I wanted to know is can I do the same hook up with that drain pice the
Connecting the drain hose in this way is 'not approved' by most manufacturers as water can back fill from the sink and when on the rinse cycle the machine can continue to siphon out after the pump has stopped. However often this can be done without problems as long as the hose is lifted as high as possible under the units before it connects to the pipework.
Thanks
😊
Why would you not show how to hook up the power supply.
Hi Brandon, how the power supply hooks up varies a lot depending on if it is hard wired, through a cupboard, a worktop or just going into a socket but the rest of the procedure is similar depending on your model.
cold water supply? thats a first.......here in North America we connect it to the hot. better have some good detergent if you want to run a load with cold water.
Hi Manny, in the UK the dishwashers fill with cold and heat inside the machine and that way you only heat the water you need to clean the dishes saving you money as it's cheaper.
@@eSpares ah i see, well on the flip side heating the cold water inside a load will rack up the electrical bill no? so i would debate if its actually cheaper in the long run to run it that way.
u da man
Thank you. useful video
you're welcome :)
Cheers mate!
You are very welcome. 😊
Um, did I miss the part where the electric is hooked up?
Hi Mary, Once the machine is 'plumbed in' you can connect it to a nearby electric socket.
I want to install my dishwasher into a space under my built in draining board but there's a trap in the way which will block it. Do you know how to get around this? Thanks!
Hi Simon, the only way to do this is to re-position the trap. We do not think you will find plumbing fittings to significantly move the outlet connector but check with DIY. stores or Plumber merchants. The only other ways will usually involve either replacing the worktop and cutting the sink in a different position offset to one side. Or it may be possible to but a different sink where the outlets are in a n offset position.

I think he say something wrong ...he connect water supply to cold water ...thats absolutely wrong...should connect to hot water...
Some machines in the US have two connections and they can be connected to the hot supply,, but If a dish washer has only one water inlet connection it should be connected to the cold water as it will have its own water heater. If you connect it just to the hot it means it rinses with hot water and cannot cool the cavity to help dry the dishes.
THANK YOU so much for this explanation!!! I'm preparing to install a dishwasher for the first time. I also thought I should connect the supply line to the hot water. Wow, am I glad I read through the comments and found this VERY helpful information. Thanks again for a great video and for answering all the questions and comments!!!
nice one cheers!
Hi shishu, your welcome.
where do i buy a wireless power dishwasher like this?
Sorry we did not cover plugging the machine in but most people would not have a problem with that.
BussDriva DH he explained where the power supply went at the beginning of the video 🙄🙄
thank very much simpel and esy instraction
Hi Hassen Ahmed, thank you for your post and glad you enjoyed our video.
Why didn't you attach a drain hose to a spigot and then screw that up onto the drain connection? It would be even easier. ;-)
hi Jean Jacques von Bajcura, thank you for your post and you are right it would have been slightly easier to fit the drain hose onto the spigot first before attaching it to the sink.
connect to HOT WATER!!! also your drain line needs to be up as high as possible to prevent backflow from your waste into your dishwasher!!!
+nolan scire Thanks for your comments. If your dishwasher only has one connection it should be connected to the COLD water supply. This is because it has its own heater that will heat only the water required for the cycle and not waste heat drawing water through the pipes that may not be hot by the time the machine is full. Also during the drying cycle the machine needs to cool the cavity to help the steam condense and help dry the load. We have mentioned in previous comments that it is important if your dishwasher outlet has not got a 'one way valve' that the hose must be above the connection to prevent the sink back filling the machine.
Wow!! Thanks eSpares!! I didn't know they made.one way valves for dishwasher drains or dishwashers with only 1 water connection!
+nolan scire The valve is usually at the drain pump spigot inside the machine and an example can be seen on another video here: czcams.com/video/NtjMDlKRbWI/video.htmlm8s
eSpares : Good to know that the dishwasher can heat the cold water. Like the other viewer, I was puzzled why he was hooking it up to the cold side.
No electric hook up
Hi Joey, thank you for the comment regarding the power supply it is mentioned in the video at 0.49 that the cable was passed through the cupboard but it was not shown on camera.
Hi Joey, most dishwashers come with a fitted plug to connect to the nearest power socket. If we included fitting the plug it would be specific to the Unite Kingdom, without showing the plug the information will apply to most dishwashers worldwide other than the America's.
HI, can you use a dishwasher if you stay outside of the UK?
The installation should be similar but often in the America's there will be an additional 'hot water' supply to the machine.
I see u only connected a cold water line. Don't dishers also use hot water too? U don't say anything about hot water line..
Hi Mike. If your machine has two hose input connections it is likely to need both connected. European machines almost all have only cold water inputs and heat only the water they need inside the machine. Many (if not most) machines in the America's have both hot and cold fill and may not have a heater.
I had to connect my dishwasher to the got fitting

Ami the only person who wat he'd this abd still has no idea if i buy a dishwasher that' I have the right connections under my sink lol. I know im a woman and I'm old. Maybe that's what my issue is bababa
That’s not it how tf you get power
You need an air gap

Hi Watermelon Slice, you know what these actors are like, we think Josh normally looks like that away from camera as well ☺
Because its his life and none of your business. Dont care what u reply back. I said what i had to say

totally different installation here. should've know how he talks.. not American
+Jezz Treras The principles must be the same as any machine requires the three basic things. Power to run the appliance, Water to fill the appliance and a drain to take the water when the cycle is finished. Local differences may vary as to how you connect these. :-)
This is wrong way 😂
Hi Vandricko, thanks for your comment. If you are having any appliance related issues we would love to help you.
You never put the drainhose like that. You need to put it higher than down again on the outlet pipe. You need also waterguard with sensor under the dishwasher. and 28mm brackets on the drain hose pipe. Dishwasher is a big problem and cost the insurgent company's a lot of money. But nice video :)
Hi Vandricko, thank you for your helpful post and tips. We hope this will help other people. Have a great day :)
