If you are mechanically and electrically inclined, you will have no problem at all installing this dishwasher. It installs pretty easy. Watch some installations on YouTube before you install your own. GE Did a really good job with the installation manual, and believe it or not, the manuals haven't changed much in over 20 years!!. BTW, this dishwasher requires a 90 degree hose type of water fitting that you'll have to purchase at a hardware store. The one thing to be careful of is that they didn't leave much distance between the inside of the cardboard shipping box and the components that could get damaged by a long box cutter blade knife. I say this because I used a box cutter on the box and cut right on the dotted line they say to cut on and found that my blade tip touched some of the dishwasher components as I went around the box. Specifically the blade can contact the pully and cord that keeps tension on the door. Luckily I didn't actually cut through any parts. Make sure you don't forget to install the white insulation blanket they give you. I took mine off temporarily to gain access to the drain hose and at first forgot to re-install it. Later on I pulled the washer out enough to re-install it. Good luck with your install.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I used a plumber but mainly because my dishwasher is hardwired electric and best buy does not hard wire appliances. I do love the dishwasher, it is very quiet and cleans everything spotless.
