5001DD4001A / 1266844 Universal Dishwasher Mounting Bracket Kit

Key Features

• Dual-Configuration Versatility: Specifically engineered to support both top-mounting (to the underside of the countertop) and side-mounting (to the cabinet walls), providing a universal solution for all kitchen layouts.
• Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel: Manufactured from premium, corrosion-resistant galvanized steel designed to provide a lifetime of structural stability in the high-humidity environment of a modern kitchen.
• Anti-Vibration Stabilization: Specifically designed to anchor the dishwasher tub frame to the cabinetry, eliminating "tipping" when the heavy lower rack is pulled forward and reducing mechanical vibration during high-speed wash cycles.
• Precision Alignment Slots: Features multiple pre-drilled holes and adjustment slots, allowing for a custom, level fit even if the cabinet gap or countertop thickness is non-standard.
• Snap-In Tub Interface: Designed with a standardized "tab-and-lock" system that snaps securely into the pre-cut slots on the top or sides of the LG dishwasher tub frame for a tool-free initial seat.

Compatibility & Fitment

This mounting bracket kit is the standard installation hardware for most LG-manufactured stainless steel tub dishwashers. Key compatible brands include:

• LG: Fits hundreds of LDF, LDS, LDT, and LDP series models (e.g., LDF7551ST, LDF7774ST, LDT9965BD, LDS4821ST).
• Kenmore (795 & 796 Series): Compatible with many Kenmore-Elite dishwashers manufactured by LG for Sears.
• Note: Ideal for Granite or Stone Countertops. If you cannot drill into the top of your counter, these brackets are designed to be bent at the scored lines for easy side-mounting to the wooden cabinets.

When to Replace

• Dishwasher Tipping Forward: The unit leans forward or pulls away from the cabinet when the door is opened or a fully loaded rack is pulled out.
• Visible Metal Fatigue: The original brackets are bent, rusted, or have snapped at the stress points due to years of use or improper original installation.
• New Countertop Installation: If you are upgrading from laminate to stone (Granite/Quartz), you may need new brackets to switch from top-mounting to side-mounting.
• Broken Mounting Tabs: The small metal tabs that lock into the dishwasher tub have snapped, leaving the brackets loose and the dishwasher unanchored.
• Excessive Vibrating: If the brackets are loose or missing, the dishwasher tub will rattle against the cabinetry during the drain or high-pressure wash phases.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Ensure the dishwasher is off. You will need to slide the dishwasher 3-4 inches out from the cabinet to access the mounting slots on the tub frame.
• The "Score and Bend" Method: For side-mounting, identify the pre-scored lines on the bracket. Use pliers to bend the bracket 90 degrees so it can sit flush against the side cabinet wall.
• Lock the Tabs: Insert the bracket's "tab" into the slot on the dishwasher frame. Use a flat-head screwdriver or pliers to bend the tab slightly, locking the bracket permanently to the tub.
• Level the Unit: Before driving screws into the cabinets, use a spirit level to ensure the dishwasher is perfectly vertical. This prevents drainage issues and uneven door seals.
• Drill Pilot Holes: Always drill small pilot holes into your cabinetry before installing the mounting screws. This prevents the wood from splitting and ensures a tight, permanent grip.
