Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's how to uninstall your Dishwasher,
now maybe your Dishwasher is broken and you need to uninstall it to take it to the recycling tip
or maybe you're just moving house and you're taking it with you and I'll take you through
all the steps that you need to do, right let's get cracking, before you uninstall the Dishwasher you
need to make sure there's no water inside it now there's two different ways to do this the first
way is you can actually start your Dishwasher let it run for about three to five minutes and then
stop it and turn it off because the first thing that a Dishwasher will do is drain any excess
water that is laying about inside the bottom of it so that is one way of getting rid of all the water
obviously you have to stop it at the exact right time before it starts doing one of its washes
so if I just remove the filter here on this Dishwasher you can see that it's drained most of
the water away, now the other way to do it is just to use a sponge so make sure that the Dishwasher
is unplugged then remove the filter and then just take a sponge and just soak up any excess water
and squeeze that into a bucket whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about how to keep
your Dishwasher hygienically fresh, and just try and get it as dry as possible so that when you
move it you don't get water going all over the place I'm just going to put the filter back in
and then we can start gently pulling out the Dishwasher
get a good grip on it and just start moving it outwards sliding it side to side gently
but don't pull it out really really quick because obviously at the back you've got the cold water
mains feed and you've got the drainage hose so just do it nice and gently and then have a look
around the back make sure you're not pulling or stretching any of the hoses this one is okay
Now there's a few different types of drainage, this one is a drainage system on a U-bend
but there's also ones where you've got a drainage hose connected to a sink unit
and I'll show you that version after this
so pull that drainage hose out and then put that into a bucket
get rid of any excess water give it a shake give that a good clean as well if you're going to
be moving it don't worry if you're just going to be taking it to the local recycling centre
there's a link above now about what to do if your Dishwasher is not draining water
and as I mentioned earlier you may have a type like this where the drainage hose is connected
to a sink drainage system underneath the sink now you may have a metal clip on it this one does I'm
just going to get a pair of pliers on these what you do is you squeeze that and that loosens it off
then you can just manoeuvre it away from the rubber hose
there we go
then get a good grip on the plastic pipework and on the hose
and just start pulling that away but make sure you've got your bucket
ready because you will get some excess water out of this drainage hose
now you may not have a clip on there if not it doesn't matter if it's a good tight fit
Fabulous
What we'll do now is disconnect the cold water mains feed now you should have a tap which
controls the mains cold water you need to turn this into the OFF position so turn that 90 degrees
then start unscrewing the cold water hose which goes into the back of your Dishwasher,
do that slowly in case you haven't turned the water off,
make sure you know where your main stopcock is just in case
you have a problem with the pipework and you get to leak and then you can turn the water off
Get rid of any excess water in there.
I've got a trolley to move this Dishwasher, now Dishwashers are
nice and light they're not too heavy compared with washing machines which are super heavy
the hoses clip onto the back for easy transportation
and then this one is ready to be moved to a new house
let's get the kettle on, if you're moving your Dishwasher because it's broken and
you're installing a new one there's a link above now about how to install a brand new Dishwasher,
and after it's been moved it's definitely going to be worth having a lovely cup of tea!
