Can someone please help me try to troubleshoot: Put the dishwasher on and get waterhammer/vibration from plumbing pipes. When I turn on the water in the sink or in the laundry tub the problem stops and the dishwasher works great. Never had this before, may this be a plumbing problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.

Mark,
System needs some type of anti water hammer device or a diaphragm type expansion tank. The solenoid valve on the dishwasher is very quick closing and prone to causing hammer in non elastic piping. |

I read it!
Should I feel guilty if I don't pay the $5.95?

Mark,
You may not have opened the water supply valve enough after the install. Fully open the water supply valve for the DW, then 1/4 turn back towards closed unless you have 1/4 turn valves, then this wont work. Now try your new DW ADAIR INSPECTION 972-487-5634 Commercial-Residential-Construction-EIFS-Infrared Thermography TREC # 4563 EDI: EIFS-MA TX # 39 2008 US Member of the Year life is the random lottery of events followed by numerous narrow escapes accept the good |
