How Do You Remove A Dishwasher From A Countertop?
A plumber is not required to remove a dishwasher from below a countertop. Using only basic hand tools, removing a dishwasher is a simple job that requires a limited amount of time and basic preparation. Whether installing a new dishwasher, repairing the existing dishwasher or moving across town, doing this job yourself is a less expensive alternative to the local plumber. Turn off the electricity to the unit. Locate the breaker box and shut off the switch corresponding to the dishwasher. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
