Customer Questions and Answers for Coupler & Hose Assembly (Faucet Connection) by Whirlpool

Hello Heidi. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. Wood Top Removal Portable dishwashers will have a top made of wood composition core with a Formica™ laminated top and sides. Use of Formica™ has a number of advantages such as: superior moisture resistance, greater stain resistance, durability and very low maintenance. 1. Disconnect power to the machine. 2. Remove the 2 screws securing the top to the mounting flanges positioned under the top in front. 3. Carefully slide top forward to disengage spacer washers from slots in the rear of the cabinet flanges. Foil Bottom Removal Partial removal of Foil Bottom will allow access to the Water Valve, Float Switch Assembly, Electrical Junction Box, hoses, thermostats, Start Capacitor and Motor/ Pump Assembly. 1. Disconnect power to the machine. 2. Lay down a protective pad. Carefully tilt the unit on its back, onto the protective pad. Remove 2 fasteners from the locations shown below . 3. Partially remove the Foil Bottom by folding down to access the Water Valve, Float Switch Assembly, Electrical Junction Box, hoses, thermostats, Start Capacitor and Motor/Pump Assembly as shown. Faucet Removal The faucet coupler provides a means for filling and draining the portable dishwasher. It connects to a special adapter which in turn is connected to a faucet at a sink. When the dishwasher is not in use, the faucet coupler is stored in a retainer on the rear of the dishwasher cabinet. 1. Disconnect power to the machine. 2. Remove Wood Top, see "Wood Top" removal procedure. 3. Remove Foil Bottom, see "Foil Bottom" removal procedure. 4. Disconnect power cord from the terminal box. Disconnect the fill hose from the water valve and the drain hose from the drain pump. 5. Remove the wire tie securing the drain and fill hoses to a rib on the tub. NOTE: Repair of the faucet coupler can be done without removing the hose assembly from the dishwasher.
