Take a few minutes to view the following videos that illustrate how to attach an Easy Dishwasher Bracket kit( ) and how to side mount a Whirlpool Dishwasher ( ).

To determine whether your dishwasher is side-mountable please refer to the installation manual that came the unit (installation manuals are also available online). These models have plastic caps on the inside of the door frame which cover holes through which screws can be driven into the opening face frame. Some side mounted units use clips which attach to the side of the dishwasher andВ are then screwed into the face frame material on either side of the opening. Aftermarket dishwasher bars like the Easy Dishwasher Bracket are also available to secure top mounted dishwashers. Further inspection of top of the pump assembly, there were 2 screws very loose which allowed the ribbon gasket to leak which directed the water to spray forcefully under the door seal. Replaced wash arm bearing ring and spray arm seal. Then attach the anti-tip clip to the plywood using screws. I originally thought the bottom door seal was leaking. Be sure to clamp the strip in place until the adhesive or silicon is fully cured. The strips can beДЄttached with either epoxy or silicone caulk. In such cases, it is possible to attach ВѕвЂќ wide strips of ВјвЂќ plywood to the underside of the countertop material. Drilling and attaching screws to these impervious materials is not recommended because of the risk of chipping and cracking the countertop material. This works with wood or laminate countertops but not with granite, quartz or solid surface tops. These clips are attached to the underside of the countertops using small screws. Older and most economy dishwashers are secured to the opening using top mounting clips. The clips are either attached to the top or the side of the dishwasher. Anti-tip hardware keeps the dishwasher from tipping forward when the front door is opened and the dishracks are pulled forward either for loading or unloading. If you own a dishwasher and are having new countertops installed you will have to reinstall the dishwasher anti-tip clips.
