Step 1 · Preparation and Safety

The first and most critical step is to ensure the work area is safe. Go to your home's main electrical panel and turn off the circuit breaker that powers the dishwasher. Then, locate the hot water shutoff valve under the kitchen sink, which supplies the dishwasher, and turn it fully to the 'off' position. Lay down several old towels in front of the dishwasher and under the sink to absorb any residual water that will spill during disconnection.
