Probably. If you didn't discard the package of extra fittings that came with the dishwasher, you may find the correct adapter/aerator fitting in there. Otherwise, try contacting the manufacturer of the dishwasher. Be sure to provide the make and model of the new faucet along with the model number of the dishwasher.
Any store that sells new portable dishwashers to the public should have such. For example: around here are, Sears, H.H.Gregg, or Best Buy. Also, places like Home Depot, Lowe's, and Menards should be having some. There is more than one size, so be sure you have a place where you can return the part if it does not fit. Be blessed There are a few different threads inside your faucet, and a few different couplings for your dishwasher.
simple, connect to faucet and be sure unit is positioned to drain into sink. make sure nothing prevents sink from draining. turn on hot water and wash for approximately 10 minutes. since it does not wash very well a longer duration might be in order and or hand washing anything that is not thoroughly washed. It unfortunately will consume lots of water and you need a water pressure from the faucet that is at least 10psi. removing the aerator many times will increase water pressure if needed.
there is a generic adaptor that fits on your faucet; take the name, model# and, hose to a hardware store and, they can show you the right adaptor for your machine
Yes, you need to know whether your faucet is male or female thread (threads on outside or inside) and buy an adapter that will fit into the faucet where the aerator normally sits. These are generally available in the plumbing section of your local hardware store. Make sure you know your diameters as well (O.D. stands for Outside Diameter and is usually male thread where as I.D. stands for Inside Diameter and is usually female thread)
I had to go to Home Depot and stack a few adaptors together to get a proper fit. You will probably end up without an aerator but, you will be able to use the dishwasher.
it the faucet connector has a lever u push in order to latch on to the faucet, just jam something under it so it maintains upward pressure and wont come unlatched when the water starts flowing
We just bought a used version of the GE Nautilus and we were able to get a generic "fits most portable dishwashers" adapter and it worked great. We went to Fred Meyer (which I believe is a Kroger company in the NW) and it was the only one they had. It only cost $3.99. The brand is Plumb Craft by Waxman and the model number is 76-127. Dishwasher Faucet Aerator. Hope this helps!
