• How do I install my new Samsung dishwasher?

  To install your new built-in dishwasher, ensure you have the appropriate Dishwasher Installation Kit, which typically includes a water supply line, power cord, and mounting hardware. Proper installation is essential for optimal performance, especially with stainless steel dishwashers and quiet dishwashers, which require correct leveling to minimize operational noise. Always follow the installation guide provided in the user manual or consult a professional for help.

• What is the standard size of a dishwasher?

  The standard dishwasher size is typically 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 35 inches high. Compact models are usually around 18 inches wide and are great for small kitchens.

• How long does a dishwasher run?

  A typical dishwasher cycle runs between 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the settings and soil level. Eco or energy-saving cycles tend to be longer but use less water and energy.
