Dishwasher hookup leak
Just got a new dishwasher (Kenmore model 665.13834) and I'm having
trouble with the water hookup. I bought the required elbow that goes between the water supply line and the water inlet valve. I just CANNOT get it to not leak. I think I've finally gotten it to stop dripping from the supply-side of the joint with the use of some teflon tape, but I can't seem to stop the leak from the valve side. Here's a picture of the assembly (the dishwasher is turned on its side to expose the bottom): http://home.comcast.net/~esionder/temp/dishwasher1.jpg I've tried two different elbows. I've tried it with and without teflon pipe tape. I've run out of ideas. Does anyone have any other tricks for making water-tight connections in this kind of situation? |
