Chapter 1 — What You’re Solving

Your old dishwasher is dying (not cleaning, leaking, or failing pump), failing cosmetically, or you want a quieter/more efficient model.

What this book covers

Standard 24” built-in dishwashers. Same job whether you’re replacing with a same-brand, switching brands, or upgrading.

What this book doesn’t

• 18” compact dishwashers (niche, similar process but different cabinet fit).
• Portable dishwashers (just roll in, connect to faucet).
• Drawer dishwashers (Fisher & Paykel — specialized).
