I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I wanted more than a basic model that would give a fault code and not just trip. It got good reviews on the internet. I didn't want an external model to prevent theft. It was a fair amount of $ and add on the fault code display $$. If I have anything negative to say after some use, I'll post it.

It was easy. The wire was right where furpod said it was. I undid the u-clamps till I could pull it out to the opening and cut it. I then wired and mounted the protector in the cabinet under the sink next to the drawers. Then spliced the wires together making sure there was enough for the slide out movement. Then wrapped the connections with electrical tape and added some wire mounts and zip ties. Took about an hour.

LOL.

Wiring diagram.. nope. plumbing layout.. nope.

In fact, it has been verified that same model pods from the same year, are not necessarily wired or plumbed exactly the same.

You goes.. you looks.. you mods..

We had the same thought with hardwiring. I took a look and backed off. Couldn't figure where to get started without possibly damaging something else so we bought an external. Was it simpler than it seemd, or do you need some decent know-how?

Nah, just what we all see and figure out on our own.

If you must use wirenuts  make sure they are good and tight and then tape them so they can't vibrate loose.  I would probably solder them and insulate with shrink tubing if you have room to work.
