TIP: Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure the rack does not roll forward or back into dishwasher. If the rack rolls in either direction, the dishwasher must be leveled again.

•If door hits the tub, the dishwasher is not installed correctly. Adjust leveling legs to align door to tub.

STEP 12 SECURE DISHWASHER, TO CABINET

The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or the cabinet sides. When countertops are made of wood, use Method 1. When countertops are granite or other materials that will not accept screws, use Method 2 to secure dishwasher at the sides.
