Our licensed plumbers share their insights on dishwasher installations
Dishwasher installations seem straightforward, but small mistakes can create costly water damage or ongoing problems. Here are the key things our plumbers think every homeowner should know.
Why professional dishwasher installation matters
We are often called to fix DIY or handyman installs that failed within weeks. A loose seal or misaligned waste pipe can send water under the cabinetry, leading to mould and warped floors. Licensed plumbers make sure connections comply with Melbourne’s water regulations, protect your manufacturer's warranty, and fully test the appliance before we leave. That way, you know it is safe to use from the very first cycle.
Common issues we see with dishwashers
The same problems appear again and again. Kinked inlet hoses restrict water flow, loose outlet seals cause leaks, and poorly aligned waste connections let smells creep back into the kitchen. We also see dishwashers crammed into tight spaces without proper clearance, which makes them harder to service down the track.
How installation differs between new and replacement dishwashers
Installing a dishwasher for the first time can mean altering cabinetry, fitting new water supply points, or adjusting the waste outlet. Replacements might look easier, but they often involve worn connections, rusted fittings, or outdated hoses that need upgrading. Either way, the job is more than just sliding into a new unit.
Signs your dishwasher hasn’t been installed correctly
Water pooling under the unit is the clearest sign that something is wrong, but there are other clues. A bad smell from the kitchen drain usually points to a poorly fitted outlet pipe. Excess noise or rattling during cycles can mean the dishwasher has not been levelled properly. Spotting these early can save you from bigger repairs later.
What Outright Plumbing’s dishwasher installation service includes
When you book us for a dishwasher installation, here’s what we take care of from start to finish.
Connecting the water supply and waste outlet
We set up the plumbing for dishwasher installation by connecting the inlet hose to the water supply and the outlet hose to the waste line. Everything is sealed and tested so you won’t have leaks under the sink.
Installing new dishwasher plumbing if needed
Not every kitchen is ready for a new dishwasher. If the right dishwasher connections aren’t in place, we can install the plumbing so your machine has a safe water supply and a proper drain.
Setting up and testing the dishwasher
Once the plumbing is sorted, we position the dishwasher, make sure it sits neatly, and run a test cycle. That way you can start using it straight away without worrying about leaks or faults.

Common questions people ask about dishwasher installation
These FAQs come straight from the jobs we attend. We hear the same questions every week, and our plumbers have put together the answers so you can save time and know what to expect.
What is the typical cost to install a dishwasher in Melbourne?
The cost to install a dishwasher in Melbourne usually ranges from $150 to $400. The price depends on your kitchen setup and whether the dishwasher can slot into the existing cavity or if new plumbing connections are needed. A simple swap where the plumbing and drainage are already in place will be at the lower end of the scale. If we need to modify cabinetry, extend hoses, or adjust valves, the cost is higher because the job takes more time.
It is worth remembering that a dishwasher needs both a water supply and drainage to be installed correctly. Cutting corners here can cause leaks, water damage, or costly repairs later on. Outright Plumbing provides insured, same-day service with quality workmanship so you know your new dishwasher is installed properly the first time.
Do I need a plumber to install a dishwasher?
It is always best to use a licensed plumber for dishwasher installation. Dishwashers need safe plumbing and electrical connections, and a poor installation can cause leaks, flooding, or even void your warranty. Many people who try DIY run into problems with existing plumbing that does not line up, valves that do not seal, or drainage that has not been connected properly.
The Victorian plumbing industry requires licensed plumbers for this kind of work to make sure the appliance is installed correctly and complies with standards. If you want peace of mind that the job is done safely and will last, Outright Plumbing is the local plumber you can rely on for expert dishwasher installation services.
How long does it take to install a new dishwasher?
Most new dishwasher installations take between one and two hours. A straight swap into an existing cavity is the fastest job, with the plumber connecting the inlet hose, waste outlet, and power point before running a test cycle. If new plumbing connections are needed, such as adjusting drainage or modifying cabinetry, the installation process takes longer.
Every dishwasher should always be tested on-site to ensure it is installed correctly and works the way it should. Outright Plumbing offers same-day service across Melbourne’s south, so you are not stuck handwashing dishes while waiting for your new appliance to be ready.
Do I need new plumbing for a dishwasher installation?
Not every kitchen is set up with the right plumbing for a dishwasher. If your existing plumbing already has the right water supply and drainage points, installation is straightforward. If not, new plumbing connections may need to be installed. That can include adding a new valve under the sink, running drainage into the waste line, or modifying cabinetry to allow space for the hoses.
Installing a new dishwasher is also a good chance to make sure your existing plumbing is in good condition. Old fittings or worn valves can cause leaks and costly damage over time. Outright Plumbing can install new dishwasher plumbing and carry out general plumbing maintenance to make sure everything is safe, sealed, and ready for use.
Can you disconnect and remove my old dishwasher?
Yes, we can disconnect and remove your old dishwasher before installing the new one. This usually involves turning off the water supply, disconnecting the inlet hose and drainage, and pulling the unit out from the existing cavity. Sometimes extension hoses or hard plumbing connections make the job trickier, but it is something we handle regularly.
If the old dishwasher has leaked or caused damage, our plumbers can check for any related plumbing issues. If we find a problem, we can provide emergency plumbing services across Melbourne to get it sorted quickly. Outright Plumbing makes the whole appliance installation process simple by removing the old unit and installing the new one on the same visit.
Can you install integrated or concealed dishwashers?
Yes, we install integrated and concealed dishwashers. These models are designed to blend in with your cabinetry and sit flush in the existing cavity. They often require adjustments to hinges, trims, or panels to make sure the dishwasher is built-in neatly and operates without issue.
We have fitted everything from entry-level units to premium brands like Bosch, and we know the small details that make the difference. The goal is always quality workmanship, so the dishwasher looks right in your kitchen and works the way it should. Outright Plumbing provides expert dishwasher installation services that ensure your built-in appliance is installed correctly and backed by our guarantee.
Do I need an electrician as well as a plumber?
In most homes, a plumber can install your new dishwasher without the need for an electrician. Modern dishwashers are designed to plug into a standard power outlet, so the main focus is on plumbing and drainage. An electrician is only needed if you want to hardwire the appliance or if the existing power point is not safe or in the right position.
Dishwasher installation involves more than just plugging it in. The plumber must connect the water supply, check the valves, and ensure the drainage is running correctly. Done right, this will save you time and prevent costly issues later on. For complete plumbing services, Outright Plumbing handles the installation process and makes sure the appliance is installed correctly the first time.
