A gift portable dishwasher did not have the faucet adapter.
Found the adapter on Parts select through a google search. Unscrewed the existing faucet aerator and srewed in the adapter. The plastic shrink wrap holds the washer and screen in place, so don't open it until you're ready to install. Finger snug does it, only use the pliers to remover the old aerator from the faucet. Normally, I don't use pliers, but both of these parts were round and had vertical serrations to engare the plier teeth.

Dishwasher would pump the used water out.
Changed float switch to no avail! Ladeled out the water. Disassembled the entire pump unit inside down to the motor shaft and checked all pieces for trouble. Could find nothing wrong. Now trying to determine if the problem is in the timer or motor.

leaking water
replaced gasket.Didn't fix leaking water problem.I believed that there was too much water in washer, when the problem occurred.Found that the float had soap build up in it making it too heavy,letting in more water than the washer can handle.Cleaned build up from float and problem seems to have disappeared.
