This Dishwasher Side Mounting Kit secures the top of the dishwasher to the side of your cabinets. This accessory is designed to be used with solid surface countertops made of granite or other materials that prevent you from anchoring the dishwasher to them; check to see if your model is compatible. Installing this accessory will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this accessory. Also make sure you turn off the water supply. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh Dishwasher Cleaner* (item W10282479) to help reduce limescale and mineral build-up that can be unsightly and affect your dishwasher s performance. *affresh brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
