I'm trying to replace my dishwasher, but when I turned off my circuit breaker switch to the kitchen (lights and ventilation fans), the dishwasher still fills with water. Does the dishwasher work like a washer where it fills with water but does not drain if there's no power?

If it is a plug obviously you can unplug it. If it is hard wired. I would check it for voltage with a volt/ohm meter for power before getting started. You can get a cheep one for about $10 - $15 and they come in handy if you are a do it your self 'er. If you still have power after throwing the breaker you think It's on then you will be able to figure it out with the meter

No. If it's soft wired, just pull the plug, probably under the kitchen sink. If it's hard wired, turn off one breaker at a time until it stops.

The Dish washer should be on it's own circuit. Try other breakers until you find the correct one.

I'd pull the plug out of the socket. Thats the only way you know there is no power getting through to it.

Pull out the dishwasher and unplug it.

It's probably wired separate. Pull it out and trace the wire. It may have it's own outlet.
