A:Answer Hello, Sharon. We appreciate your inquiry. Yes. This model can typically be installed as a replacement for an existing dishwasher. Here are some key considerations:
1. Compatibility with Space:
Ensure that the dimensions of the current dishwasher space match the dimensions of the Frigidaire FDPH4316AS. The standard size is 24 inches, but it’s a good idea to measure the width, height, and depth of the opening to confirm fit.
2. Plumbing and Electrical Requirements:
Verify that the existing water supply line, drain connection, and electrical outlet match the requirements of the new dishwasher. The Frigidaire FDPH4316AS generally requires:
A hot water line with a 3/8" connection.
A standard 110-120V grounded outlet.
A drain connection within reach of the dishwasher’s drain hose.
3. Removal of the Old Dishwasher:
Disconnect the old unit by turning off the power and water supply.
Detach the electrical wiring, water supply line, and drain hose from the old dishwasher before removing it.
4. Installation of the New Dishwasher:
Position the Frigidaire dishwasher in place and reconnect the electrical wiring, water supply, and drain hose.
Secure the dishwasher to the cabinet or countertop as per the installation instructions.
5. Professional Assistance:
If you’re not experienced with appliance installation, hiring a licensed installer is recommended. They can ensure everything is connected properly and up to code. We hope this information helps! - Christi
