I need help removing my old dishwasher?

Question

I pulled it out about 1/2 way and then it gets stuck. I think one of the legs is stuck on the linoleum, but my husband thinks that the dishwasher is connected to something in the back that is too short to pull it out. PLUS, now that we have started jiggling and tugging at it .. it started leaking from a copper tube that is underneath the dishwasher. I can feel it when I reach around and under the dishwasher. HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

first thing you do is look under your sink and you should see that copper line tie into a water supply . turn it off and stop the leak. now turn off the breaker that feeds power to it .now take a flashlight and look under it .
most of the time the vinyl will not run all the way under it , leg might be hung on it
if it is slide it back some have hubby raise up on it just a bit and you slide some cardboard under the front legs but keep it up on the vinyl also should slide right out

Answer 2

If you have removed the kickplate on the front of the unit, you should be able to see the water supply tubing. Normally, it is on the left hand side of it towards the front and the electrical connection (if hardwired) is on the left in a small box with one or two screws in it. Make SURE the power is off before disconnecting it. The shut-off valve for the water supply should be under the sink. The drainline also connects to the sink drain under the sink.

Answer 3

There are water supply lines, a drain line and an electrical cord. I am sorry but I don;t know what the copper line is unless the supply was plumbed in with copper. Can you open a cabinet beside it and get a better look?

Answer 4

Its probably connected to the pipe that is now leaking, I suggest you listen to your husband in future he sounds a bright chap
