I asked earlier about a new dishwasher. We ended up buying a Bosch.

Well, yesterday I got energetic & took out the old Kenmore & installed the new Bosch.
What a PITA! I had to go to the local Mom & Pop hardware store to get a "dishwasher elbow"
because the new one did not come with it. Strike one.
The fitting on the d/w where the supply line connects is a cheap POS plastic.
You have to make sure the elbow is attached perfectly or you will cross thread it. Strike two.
I had to trim the opening to make it fit because of the side plastic flap thingy. Strike three.
All in all, it was not the easiest d/w I ever installed. I do not like the fact it has an open electrical connection point.
The box where the power connects doesn't have a cover & exposed wires are facing the front of the d/w.
Yes, I checked to make sure I had it in correctly. Still has open connections. Right next to the water supply.
If it ever springs a leak, and you touch it, you're toast.
I might send it back after all.
