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.

The dishwasher did not drain

"The order arrived in relatively short order. However, the installation must have been hilarious to any observer. Imagiine an arthritic septuagenerian getting down on the floor and wallowing about fitting a dish washer belt. Hints: 1. Grasp the pulley on the pump with your left hand from under the discharge hose (more room than over the hose) when fitting the belt to the rear of that pulley. 2. Use a hot pad (not an emroidered & quilted one reserved for company) to protect your L forearm from the frame member on the bottom of the machine. Getting up was worse than getting down, but it works! In dishwasher years it's much older than I am."

Space too small to see just where to place belt - Plus the belt had to be put on at the bottom of the dishwasher.

My husband and I both tried to get belt around the pulleys according to directions that came with the belt. The space was just too small to work in. We ended up turning the dishwasher upside down! We could then see what we were doing....My husband finally got the belt on....He did end up with lots of small cuts of his hands from sharp edges. But we were so happy to get it fixed. We had priced new portables dishwashers at six and seven hundred dollars. We were thankful to be able to get the part for our 23 year old dishwasher. It is now working great.

Belt to stiff to roll onto pulley

150 degrees for ten minutes provided enough flexibility to allow the belt to be rolled around the pulley. The machine has been used successfully since installation.
