Dishwasher Installation

Your Basic Dishwasher Installation will include: un-packaging; disconnecting the existing dishwasher; drilling where side-mounting is necessary and possible; installation of the new dishwasher within the same opening as the old one, including connecting it to existing electrical and plumbing outlets; supplying and installation of the new dishwasher supply line; testing to verify the new dishwasher is properly grounded; and testing to ensure the new unit is in proper working order.

Our Installers will not install a new shut-off valve, and will not route supply or drain lines through cabinets other than ones containing the sink base. No modifications to existing structures, plumbing, electrical work, countertops or cabinetry will be performed to accommodate your new dishwasher. Haul away and disposal of your old dishwasher are not included unless purchased separately.

In most cases, your dishwasher installation can be completed in 2 hours or less.

No. With Basic Dishwasher Installation, Home Depot Installers will only hook up your new dishwasher in a location that has already been fitted for one. Installing a dishwasher in a new location requires preparatory work, likely including the services of a plumber and/or electrician.  This additional work is not included in Basic Dishwasher Installation.

All required parts are included in the cost of your Basic Dishwasher Installation service.

Yes. If you would like your old dishwasher to be hauled away the service can be purchased prior to checkout. 

No. Our installers will disconnect your old dishwasher before installing the new one. 

No. Delivery and Installation services are arranged and scheduled separately from each other. Customers are therefore advised to take their scheduled/expected delivery time into account when booking an installation appointment. If Haul Away is purchased without installation, your old dishwasher will be taken away or moved when the new one is delivered.

If the appliance arrives with visible damage, ask the delivery agent about the Save the Delivery process. Once explained if this is not something that is acceptable to you we recommend that you refuse the delivery and indicate ‘refused due to damage’ on the bill of lading (BOL). Otherwise you have up to 48 hours from time of delivery to notify The Home Depot at 1-800-759-2054 of any concealed damage. If you notice a defect (not damage) in the appliance after the 48 hours, this becomes a warranty issue. Please call the manufacturer’s warranty line. This is not the responsibility of the installer. The appliance comes with a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, you may choose to purchase an Extended Service Plan at any time within the first year.
