Moving a Dishwasher

The home your moving to may have a dishwasher installed already, but if it doesn't have one, you may need to move your old dishwasher to the new home. Here are some helpful tips to do just that:

• Clean the inside and outside of the dishwasher, including the racks (where the dishes/glasses go). Make sure to dry the dishwasher thoroughly, as moisture can lead to mildew or even mold. Keep the door open a few days prior to the move to be sure all moisture is evaporated.
• Remove and drain all hoses. Check your dishwashers manual for how to disconnect and drain the hoses, as they are all different. Wrap the hoses in towels or another type of cloth and put them inside the dishwasher. You can also tape the hoses to a side of the dishwasher to be sure they do not move during transit.
• Tape the dishwasher door shut.
  
• Move the dishwasher carefully and slowly!!!
