Dishwasher Extension for service - Tools to aid in the service of dishwasher units.
(This Extension kit is not available as a service part. All parts can be obtained from Lowes, Home
Depot or you local plumbing supply store.)
Aside from the normal issues with servicing Dishwasher units, actual troubleshooting of a unit can be
a frustrating experience for some techs.
`
The Dishwasher, when placed in its normal operating space, which is most likely under a cabinet,
does not lend itself to provide access to needed areas for viewing of operations, and
troubleshooting of problems.
`
The units overall placement in the kitchen, and the length of the hookup lines for power, water
and drainage can severely limit a techs ability to actually SEE WHAT IS GOING ON.
It is with these issues in mind that we would like to suggest a solution to this issue. An Extension Kit
that allows total unit operation outside of the unit’s normal under counter-top placement setting.
