Video Home » How to Prep for Dishwasher Delivery and Install

Thanks for trusting Best Buy to deliver and install your new dishwasher. Here are some things to do before delivery day to make sure you'll have the best possible experience. For starters, walk the path. Try to avoid stairs, tight turns and other obstacles, and make sure that doorways and halls are wide enough to accommodate your new appliance. Next, check your hookups. In most cases you'll need a three prong 110-volt outlet within five feet of your dishwasher. Also make sure there's a water shutoff valve underneath your sink. The valve should be corrosion free and in good working condition with a standard metal connection. When it comes to parts, you'll need to buy a new dishwasher connection kit. This is important. If you purchased Best Buy's installation service, our technicians can't reuse existing parts for new appliance hookups. Our installers will do a thorough inspection when we arrive, to make sure your installation is safe and up to code. If additional charges apply, we'll get your approval before starting the job. Last but not least, empty your old dishwasher and make sure there's nothing obstructing the front legs. Doing this prep work beforehand will help make your installation smooth and trouble free.
