Yes, you certainly can. I bought and old portable dishwasher with a chipped up and ugly top. Here's how: Open the door of the dishwasher and inspect the underside of the top. You'll notice a couple of screws holding some metal brackets (attached to the dishwasher) to the top. Just unscrew them (they'll be located front and back, probably) and lift off the top. Measure it and have a piece of butcher block cut to the same measurements. Then just fit the new top on the old dishwasher brackets and screw the screws up tight.
I did this recently and it turned out great. Plus, the butcher block top now goes with everything.

well a portable dishwasher is on wheels so you can roll it to the sink and hook it up to your sink faucet. I'm really not sure what you mean by free standing but possibly it could be a dishwasher at the end of a counter top for which you would have to purchase an end paneo for it , It would be installed under the counter like a regular d/w . although free standing could also mean portable in some companies' brouchere. the most common unit is the under counter dishwasher which accounts for nearly 95% of units sold and is installed just as it is named, under the counter near a sink or water and drain supply and once installed is there until you replace it, the undercounter is also the least expensive because it needs no extra panels or parts.
If you install a built in the landlord will ask you to leave it or replace the cabinets it replaced. Portable sounds a better deal to me.
Clean the discharge pipe under the sink where it joins either to the garburator or the drain pipe. Run the dishwasher through a cycle and it should pump the water out thoroughly. Otherwise the pump on your dishwasher is not working properly.
Good news! You don't have to replace phosphate in your dish detergent if you use www.BubbleBandit.com. It is a commercial product with 8.7% phosphate that works wonders in your dishwasher at home.
Im prety sur that you put this in wrong but if not it was...... YOUR MOM
Probably not, depends on where the clog is at and how the dishwasher drain is connected. I wouldn't chance it, but the worst that will happen is the sink will fill with the water from the dishwasher.

You can get dishwasher parts online at several places. Some of these places are repairclinic.com and www.appliancepartspros.com/appliance-parts. For used parts there are no warranty but you can return and replace if it does not fit.
You do not have to replace the racks. If you take the racks out wipe them down, you can brush one coat of touch up paint evenly onto each of the dishwasher racks and this should fix the problem.
I think it is the lack of phosphates. I was ready to replace the water softener and the dishwasher-until npr did a story on the detergents. Right now I am trying white vinegar and I guess I will be doing dishes by hand
the pump is shot, cheap part, replace it
