Will I need this kit if I am replacing an exisisting dishwasher with this ? I have electrical ran already and my water lines and other lines are in great shape. null

Question

Probably a good idea. I had the everything ran already too but some of the ends are different. So it may be a good idea to get. If you don't end up needing it then you can return it.

Yes, they make it a required item so that they can guarantee the installation.

BillyBoy · Answer

I was told yes, these are connections for your hookup.

Hard to say. The water coupling at the dishwasher may be different and there are a lot of adapters in the kit. We got the kit as the unit being replaced had been there a long time and we weren't sure of the condition of the connections. Give it a shot. You can always go back to the store if you don't have what you need.

Bill,

You may not need it and there's really no way to tell in advance. But, you should have on hand in case you do need it. If you don't, you can always return it.

Maybe not then.. I bought it replace our water line that was installed with our 1992 dishwasher (which wasn't working and our line also would leak water on the floor). Maybe you're good to go then.

Yes, I replaced a dishwasher and you will need a new kit.

Good idea to. The seals confirm to existing pipes and don't bounce back well. Best to use all new lines to ensure no leaks with old seals. Electrical is probably unnecessary to replace but at the price for the kit...why not.

I would spend the few dollars for a new hose. It’s braided steel, and the old rubber ones can deteriorate. If you are having Best Buy install the d/w they may require it anyway.

Pavo · Answer

You can reuse if you wish. I prefer to change them out because of our hard water. There's always some buildup of lime deposits etc. on the hose ends especially if it hasn't been changed for a number of years.
