The Kenmore QuietGuard 5000* is functioning leak-free. I replaced the elbow connector mentioned previously and it worked like a charm.
I haven't bolted into the counter just yet because I'm paranoid that I'm going to have another leak. Also - I don't want to do everything all at once. This leaves me something to do this weekend when I'm milling around the house in search of a diversion.
To recap - I would have paid Sears $130 to have Mongo come out to install the dishwasher. Instead, I paid $3 for an elbow connector, $3 for some teflon pipe sealant, and $15 for a hacksaw that I unfortunately didn't get to use.
*I added the "5000" - thought that the name needed a little umph.
