Repair & Advice
This part would work great IF it works with your dishwasher. Unfortunately my dishwasher doesn't have the slots on the side of it for side mounting. So instead after I installed and leveled the dishwasher I used 2x4s cut down to length to shim between the bottom metal frame of the dishwasher and the baseboard of the cabinets. I then drove large deck screws through the entire assembly after drilling pilot holes and a clearance hole in the metal frame (problem solved). I did save this kit for when we replace this dishwasher in the future for one that supports the side mounting feature.

Screwdriver, pliers, drill bit.
Repair & Advice
Our dishwasher needed these side mounting brackets to mount to the side cabinets instead of the granite countertop. The dishwasher has slots on each side that the brackets go into, then you bend the tab to lock it in place. I then lined up the holes in the mounting brackets with the cabinets and pre-drilled a hole to prevent the wood from splitting. Finally, I used the two included mounting screws to screw through the brackets to mount the dishwasher securely in place. The screws have a thin head and sit very flush so they do not get in the way.
