A:AnswerI did not have a dishwasher previously so there was no wiring or plumbing in place.My installer hardwired everything so the kit wasn't needed. I bought the kit " just in case" I will be returning.
A:AnswerDepends on the condition of the parts. It also depends on if you’re set up for a hardwired or plug-in setup. If Best Buy installs it, they’ll require you to buy it. If your own plumber or handyperson does it, you may not need it. Get it and you can also just return it if you don’t need it.
A:AnswerThese two types of waterline connections are different. The ice maker lines with compression fittings will not work for your dishwasher hookup. That is best handled with a stainless steel hose with generally, the correct sized female couplers on each end of that hose. One end will connect to your water supply near your kitchen sink and the other to the inbound water feed line to the dishwasher.
A:AnswerThis kit does not include a drain line for the Bosch 500 series dishwashers. That drain line is included and pre-connected to each new dishwasher unit when built.
