Step 1 · Preparation and Safety

Begin by ensuring the work area is safe and prepared. Turn off the corresponding circuit breaker in your home's electrical panel that powers the outlet under the kitchen sink. Use a voltage tester to confirm there is no power to the outlet. Clear out all items from the cabinet under the sink to create ample workspace. Place a bucket directly under the P-trap and drain pipes to catch water, and lay down old towels to absorb any spills.
