Q: QuestionDoes installation require a universal installation kit?

Asked 1 year ago by rk.

• A:Answer You will need to supply your own power cord and water supply line. I would recommend sourcing them yourself, the kits have mixed reviews mainly around the water lines having bad gaskets and leaking, plus I managed to get them for cheaper at my local hardware store.

Q: QuestionIs this machine a side mount or a top mount?

Asked 7 months ago by JENNIFERW.

• A:Answer Hi Jen, We are glad to answer your question about this Samsung dishwasher model. This Samsung dishwasher model is designed to support both top and side mounting configurations. Top mounting is the recommended method, as it provides optimal stability when secured to the underside of a wood or laminate countertop, and mounting brackets are included for top mount installation. However, if the countertop is made of materials that may be damaged by drilling, such as granite, quartz, or other solid surfaces, the dishwasher may be securely mounted using the side mounting option by attaching it to the adjacent cabinetry.
