QuestionDoes it have aqua leak protection so if an internal leak the dishwasher shuts down so will not flood
Asked 3 years ago by Donna.
- Answer I believe it does. During installation there is a drip tray with a wire plugged into it. I believe that is the moisture sensor.

Questiondoes it come with the power cord
Asked 4 years ago by Erlyng.
- Answer The base price doesn't include a power cord, but unless you will install the unit yourself, your installer will need the items included in the optional (around $130) "install kit" that should include all the extra parts needed. (If you are going to install it yourself, you may be able to re-use some of the existing parts: power cord, water supply/return lines. etc. Be aware, this may violate some area building codes.)
