Depending on your dishwasher heres anice guide to calculate it. http://bge.apogee.net/res/rekdish.asp

Gravity. The circulator pump is at the bottom as is the drain pipe and drain pump. All seals are likely to fail but the most common is the seal on the circulation pump shaft. There is often a paddle/level switch on the undertray that cuts off the machine if the water level gets too high. The easiest way to find the area of a water leak that is not obvious is to dry the floor under the appliance, remove the undertray and return the machine to the upright position. Then put a newspaper under it. Mark the position of front edge of the appliance on the paper. Run the appliance and periodically pull the paper from under the appliance, putting the paper back in exactly the same place after each check. When water is seen on the paper, stop the machine. the mark on the paper can them be used to line up with and locate the area of the leak.

Dishwashers do not have to be on a dedicated circuit, according to NEC codes. Neither do refrigerators. Electric Ranges and OTR Microwave Hoods and Hood Fans do.

First, always ascertain the appliances that will be in the room and regularly used, and calculate their wattage or look it up in the specs found on the appliance or in its manual.

The dishwasher issue is a falsehood espoused by many kitchen designers, home inspectors and electricians who have apparently substituted their own opinions as being code. I just read all of the applicable NEC codes. They are readily available for purchase or for free at your local library. Consulting it yourself is the best bet. It does not specify a dedicated circuit for the dishwasher. It can be on a branch circuit for the kitchen, but if it's sharing the circuit with other appliances, then it must not use more than 50% of a branch circuit's load capacity. So that in effect creates a dedicated circuit requirement IF your circuit is a 15 amp circuit. If it's a 20 amp, you may have capacity room for a small load appliance such as the disposal or refrigerator, depending on load calculations (Volts x Amps = Watts (Load). But if you use a 30 amp or higher circuit capacity, then you can comply with code much easier if other small appliances are on it. NEC 210.23

Yes, through the dishwasher drain attachment on the disposal. There is a knockout on the inside of the hole on dishwasher attachment that has to be knocked out before attaching the dishwaser hose to the unit.

According to one particular website named "TopTenReviews" some current top dishwasher models include the KitchenAid Superba EQ, GE Profile and LG TrueSteam. All three of these models currently retail for over $1,000 and garner at least an 8.85 rating out of 10 stars according to the website. Some of the best cheaper models retail for less than $1,000, which includes the 'Frigidaire 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher' which currently retails for $300 from Best Buy and has a 4.5 out of 5 star rating, based on customer reviews.

It was manufactured in 2002

This one is easy and you can do it yourself. Just remove the elbow "trap" pipe and clean it...It's amazing how things can get gunked up in there. I just did this myself and it took less than 20 minutes. Good luck.

The sink drain line is partially plugged.

In the UK, a Slimline Dishwasher can be purchased from Curry's, Argos or Tesco's. Prices start at around ÌÄåâÌâå£180 but the best quote is offered by Argos as they offer affordable home appliances.

It depends. Not all dishwashers use the same amount of electricity. You can get a more accurate idea by locating the manufacturer's date plate or sticker, usually affixed to the door jamb of your appliance. It will show voltage and current used, It will show something like, motor 1 A heat 9 A. That means when just the motor is operating it's about 1 amp and when the heating elements come on the total will be 10 amps.

Look up US Department of energy stats, it will tell you average wattage that appliances uses, as well as the cost to use them.

Usually, but it depends on your local codes.

It is a Dishwasher produced by Arcelik A.S in Ankara called OneTouch under Blomberg brand.

The product has 11 sensors that sense the dirt level of the product and works with only 1 button. All you need to do is load your dirty dishes and press a button. Works great and so silent

Standard dishwashers are 24" wide.

Sears Kenmore dishwashers beginning with 587 are actually manufactured by Frigidaire. You can find a bunch of manuals at:

Unfortunately, there is no exact match for your model number there, but in my case I was able to find a manual for a nearly identical washer with a similar model #.

Brada dishwashers are made by a company called Brada. Shocking, I know. They specialize in making appliances like dishwashers, so if you're in the market for one, maybe give them a look. But hey, what do I know?

I have a GE refrig and found that I needed to replace the motherboard- located left rear, top of refridge... As your facing the rear of the frig. The new board cost me just over $250. Landlord will not like this when they see the bill Im preparing to send them.

Original answer: Yes! I did this in my Kitchen

USSEG: It really comes down to how much amp each of the appliances is going to use at peak. You need to look at the emperage draw of each appliance then make your decision. If you are sure you are not going to use both at the same time (ever) then it is fine. A disposal requires at least a 15 amp and a dishwasher usually needs at least a 15 amp.

If breakers start tripping you will need to separate them.

If this is for new contrstruction, there is no reason not to run a separate line for each.

The highest rated dishwasher in the Canadian consumer ratings is the Kenmore 1374(2/9/3). Reasons to buy- Sears exclusive - hence service and reliability. Permatuff Tub with nylon racks. Flexibility with the racks - adjustability. Turbozone jets for tougher, stubborn stains. ALWAYS ON SALE!!! not GE - I had one and within the first 19 months the motor and heating element had gone and the filters were very difficult to clean. not good quality.

Kenmore dishwashers can be bought from the Kenmore suppliers or Sears stock them, you can possibly find them in most electrical stores which sell dishwashers

They say on average between 10 and 15 years but it all depends on the usage. Buy a whirlpool or Kitchen aid.

Yes, I've done it myself.
You'll need to remove the feet from the frame and add castors. (Little wheels that swivel.)
Build a 3 sided box out of paneling and a piece of countertop for a top.
The setup that connects the hoses to the faucet and the adapter for the faucet itself is available from most plumbing supply stores or you can get it from the on-line parts department at Sears.
Then get a good heavy duty exrension cord to use as a plug.
You can do the whole project in an afternoon with just basic hand tools

The Walker Brothers invented the first electric dishwasher in 1913.

Stainless dishwashers with stainless steel doors can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, and other large DIY style stores. Ikea also features a line of stainless steel kitchen appliances and related products.

Running a full load of dishes uses 9 to 12 gallons of water. Washing and rinsing the same load by hand takes 20 gallons.
