Dishwasher Help

[Hoover]

Ok, so I bought this Whirlpool Dishwasher DU1050 XTP(B)

They were going to install it today, great.

When I bought it I asked "So, are these things plug and play no major changes since a have an old Dishwasher in there already? Sure no problem.

Well they get to the house today, and tell me I need a plumber to move a drain, and do a bunch of other crap.

So I'm a little pissed off.

Question: Since I need a plumber to make this bad boy fit, should I just go pick up the dam thing and have him install it rather than pay for the changes then pay for them to install it?

Also, is it that hard to hook up a dishwasher after tthese changes are made?

Just pay the plumber.

It's not hard at all.

Thanks, I hate dealing with stupid sales people who built in answer to any question is "Yea no problem, slip it right in, works like a charm."

[Phobia]

Yup. Drives me crazy. But, it works. I lose jobs all the time because I figure in all those extra nuances for my final price. Some of the other guys give them a low price and then apologize that they missed something.

Do you really like Nader Hoover?

Is the dishwasher you are replacing significantly smaller than the new one? We just bought a new one not two weeks ago, and they swapped them out in like twenty minutes, no problem.

Is it a "dishwasher of color"?

No, I got him on the Iowa Ballott to take away votes from Kerry.

Yes and I see no problem with that.

This is a "Tall Tub" its the same height and width, and depth. But the dishwasher thats in there now has a drain in the floor below it, and will not allow the new one to fit.

What exactly do they need you to change?

Most all dishwashers have flexible connections, so I don't know what could be out of place. It's just one step more advanced than hooking up a hose for the sprinkler in the yard.

Only thing I could think is that your sink drain is significantly higher than your dishwasher drain, where the laws of gravity are now working against you.

Have a kid, then you won't have to pay for a plumber. :)

Make sure that everyone gets a vote in the matter.... :toast:

I just got done doing this about a month ago.

Eh, it is possible. I bought a new one last year to replace the one that had been in our house since we moved in. It broke down a couple years before that and I'm sure it had probably been there since the 70s or 80s.

I also had to to some plumbing to make the new one work. For one, the new inlet hose was a flexible one where as the old one was a copper pipe. Little things like this can make a difference. Frankly, I would hire my own plumber or do it myself rather than pay their people to do it.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

Hoover decided to get a more reliable dishwasher...

Nice, but I told your Mom to stay out of my house.

Install it yourself, its easy. 2 to 4 screws, hook up the water and the drain. It only takes a few minutes.

[Phobia]

I would like to clarify. For anybody in the KC Metro area - it's incredibly difficult. Something about the water....

Call somebody.... like me.

Everywhere else, it's extremely easy.

I've never had a problem with any of my new dishwashers. Getting rid of the old ones does occasionally involve a restraing order though.
