New Dishwasher Replacement- Single Drawer - hbens - 05-23-2022

My dishwasher was inop from when I bought it. The PO said he did not use it nor knew if it worked. 
I found that the garbage disposal knockout was still in place so the dishwasher had not been used since the new disposal was installed. This was the same mistake I made the first time I replaced a garbage disposal in one of my houses.
I bought a Fisher Paykel Single Drawer Dishwasher DD24S19 N. I did not need a separate install kit.
Installation of the drawer cover was easy-peasy. Getting it square was my main concern. The installation instructions were well thought out for this. You find the center of the drawer using the corners and a straight edge. On the new bracket there is a small hole you put over the center mark previously mentioned, make sure it is parallel with the bottem, then drill and screw carefully.
The bracket in the picture is the old one. I cut the wires from the original on/off switch and left the switch in place.
The only issue is the new dishwasher is vented. The old one wasn't. The vent supplied with the dishwasher would not work in my cabinets. I went to a boat supply house and bought a through hull fixture and installed it at the bottom of my cabinets.

The last picture is the completed install. 
It was easier than I expected.
