On the bottom side, the motor and other components are where the water line feed comes in at. I noticed there is a void on the left side of the dishwasher. Can the components be moved to the other side so the void will be on the right side? I noticed it had a bracket that slides on the underside.

The water line feed for the motor and other components of the Maytag MDB4949SKZ dishwasher is located on the bottom side. Specifically, it is connected to the water feed tube, which is labeled as "A" in the component diagram. The water inlet opening, labeled as "B", is where the water enters the dishwasher. The manual does not provide specific instructions or information about modifying the dishwasher to relocate the components. It is recommended to consult a professional technician for any modifications or alterations to the dishwasher.

I will need to remove a cabinet to do a first time dishwasher installation. What size 'box' do I need to build in the cabinet space (height, depth, width) to accommodate model MDB4949SKZ Dishwasher? Would be installed to the left of the sink.Translation: I will need to remove a cabinet to install the dishwasher for the first time.

Why is it not possible to connect the provided drain hose to the dishwasher? The connection on the dishwasher is not long enough to accommodate the hose and use the included clamp.

@Karen the pod goes in the little well. Then slide the door shut over it, until it clicks. If you are using powder detergent, you can add some powder detergent in a little indentation that says pre-wash on top of the door over the well.
