Leave about six feet of cable sticking through the hole by the dishwasher. Adjust the leveling legs with a wrench until the dishwasher is perfectly level. If you see water in the dishwasher when you are not using it check the water inlet valve for faults. Connect the drain hose according to manufacturer s instructions.

If this valve is faulty the dishwasher can fill with water and overflow onto the floor. Grab a towel or mop and soak up any visible water on your floor. Turn on the water supply inspect for leaks and tighten connections if necessary. The float switch is stuck or broken.

Your unit may be taking in more water than it should and not draining properly.
