hey man you guys i got it installed. the only thing i'm worried about is that the drain hoses got disconnected when i slid it back in. low probability though. one thing i will tell you though - lying on a hardwood floor for extended periods to hook up the electric, water line and leveling it out is hard on an old guy's body. it's been in since thursday night, but still hasn't been run. how do i know? she hasn't complained about it not having power. i still haven't flipped the breaker back on.
Congrats....I always wait until I know it is normal business hours for the plumber or electrician before I flip any switches back on....Sunday is double pay day.......just in case LOL!
Turn it on and run a cycle. If you end up with a couple gallons of water on the floor you will know quickly. Not much will be permanently damaged from getting wet once. You got this, flip the breaker, turn on the water, say a quick prayer, run a empty cycle. Then get back down on the floor with a flashlight and check everything for signs of water.

You got this!
man i was even smarter. i took off the bottom access before firing it up. the hoses didn't come completely unhooked, but there was some spillage, so i shut it down and had maybe a cup or two worth of water get out. damn near impossible to work with the damn clamp in a 3 inch opening. i think i got it, but we'll find out tonight.

i'm to feckin old to be lying on a hardwood floor this much.

so you guys i'm standing in the kitchen the other night talking to mrs. drome. dishwasher is running. 1 minute left on the cycle. a half hour later, 1 minute left on the cycle. that just ain't right. so i go to the interwebs and start with the google. they say it's probably the control board, and some times it's just a busted solder. so man i bust it open and get the board out. well man maybe the solder was bad, but i can't tell 'cause everything is black. like burnt black. i mean the ribbon wire attached to it has melted and wires are exposed burnt black. ok, so i can get a new assembly for it for... what? $200? man i probably paid $300 for this thing 10+ years ago. so guess what? i tell mrs. drome we're going shopping. now we got a new dishwasher, and i get to put it in tonight. but man there's a bit of a problem. about 4 years ago we put in hardwood floors. and we didn't pull the dishwasher when we did it. so man i don't know if i can get the old one out and new one in without lifting the whole countertop. but i know i can do this one. it ain't dangerous like that garage door spring, so i'm not paying somebody else to do it.

and you know what else? i know i can do it without a fatty. not that there's any question about that. so i guess the day 1900 gift is a new dishwasher. even if i got it a few days early.
drome,
if that is your 1900 day gift; you should try to get a big KTC sticker to apply to the front door, that way it would work just like a coin or milestone chip.

That sucks about the floor, however, if your house it at all like mine you might find some lost articles or artifacts when you peel up the counter.

P
You got this, just put on your Thinkin' Cap. If that don't work try a Sawzall.
1900 days. I love it! That's inspiring.
I'll quit with these ^^^^ four quitters any damn day.

Real people, real quitters.
It's even funnier to see that Evil posted a helpful link about using a sawzall toe "rectify" the situation!
