Your video cost me 500 bucks! I was using the door ti wiggle the dishwasher out and broke the door and ruined the dishwasher!! That is VERY bad advice.l!
You didn’t list your crescent wrench.
Thank you Chris. As a single mom on a tight budget and no male family members to help out, your videos have saved me a lot. I also like how short and to the point, without all the “filler” talk 😊
Thanks for that great feedback!
I second this!!
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure I can do this after watching his video. Thank you very much.
Clear. Simple. Thorough. And to the point. Just what we DIYers are looking for in a "how to" YT video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Who else didn’t have a dad to teach them how to maintain a house so we rely on these awesome guys to show us 🙏
I know what you mean and I don't understand why some dads didn't show their kids, boys and girls, these important skills. Keep going and keep learning!!
My dad was around when I was growing up, but he was also clueless how to do these things. And I commend him for admitting it so I had realistic expectations. I wouldn’t want HIM to teach me these things if he didn’t know what he was doing. 🤣🤣🤣. We’d both be fried.
I had a dad and he never showed me this stuff .
My Dad ran a very successful HVAC business and barely taught me how to hold a screwdriver before he left my mom. Fortunately, my old brother (Who bought the business from Dad) taught me an ocean of home repair.
Mine was and still is a deadbeat typical late 80s turdbag
I know this is a couple years old now, but I wanted to thank you for this. I have zero experience with anything like this, but was able to unhook my dishwasher using your tutorial. Super easy to follow!
You're very welcome!
After watching this, I was able to surprised my son by taking out my old dishwasher! Then he was able to get straight to the job of install my new one .
I’m 65 , and let me tell you he was impressed.
Thanks for the boost to my ego lol 😂
You're welcome! There is nothing you can't try and do yourself. Keep going!!
This was the BEST how to video I’ve ever watched. It wasn’t just your level of know-how, but, your ability to clearly direct someone like me who has never done this before. Thank you!
And thank you for not talking about a step while skipping the demonstration of that step, like other DIY videos.
What a nice change! You got straight to the point without all the yammering others do! THANK YOU and great job!
yes, and no awful music!
Like it. Didn't turn it into a 15 minute video. Or talk down talk down to like you 3 years old
Amen to that. Straight to the all you need to know with any fluff.
Thank you, thank you . I'm 65 year old female. Didn't want to pay $199 for install when I bought the new dishwasher. You are spot on. New one will be here at 2 pm, so I'll be back lol.
Best 3 minutes of my life. I have a bug problem behind the dishwasher. I was convinced that there was a hole, allowing bugs into the home. Followed your steps and found the hole, literally in the wall. I was exhausted and so disgusted that I took a break. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Random Female Homeowner
I also learned that the dishwasher does not have plug. It's a live wire. Not following your advice..and my family would have found me lying on the floor, electrocuted. Funny but real. Anyway, thanks again. I grounded the wire...I hope, and I even re-labeled my fuse box so that it's more accurate. Love this to-the-point video.
I have the same issue with mice. Did you unhook the electrical and water to pull the dishwasher out ? Or can you pull it out without disconnecting ? TY!
@@phoebec6024 I turned off the dishwasher at the fuse box. Then, I attempted to start it to see if it started, to ensure that no electricity was still running to the dishwasher. I didn't have that electric current tool that he had. I followed his steps exactly. Even though I have a granite counter top, every connection to the washer and the counter top was exactly where he said it would be. I did have a shopvac to vacuum the water, because I have hardwood floors in my kitchen. Hope this helps. I did kinda struggle with the electrical part but I didn't need any extra tools other than a screwdriver and pliers for the clamps. Seamless job thanks to this video.
@@phoebec6024 Oh and to answer your specific question I did have to disconnect everything. The dishwasher is clamped in place. It's impossible to pull it forward without disconnecting it. Once you see how it is connected, you will definitely understand. Put on some messy clothes, throw that hair in a bun, get pliers and a screwdriver and towels or a shopvac and make a day of it. Also take some time sorting out the cabinet that houses the hose for the dishwasher. You will need to adjust that hose so that you can pull the dishwasher forward. And get those house intruders. Lol.
Please make more “how to” videos. This is how they all should be. Creative, quick, high quality and very helpful.
Thanks for that great feedback!!
I agree
Yes, excellent service Sir.
Which part was creative?
Completely agree. This is a perfect how to video without all of the normal extra fluff in between the viewer and the information they need. Way to go @chrisnotap!
Great video, simple and to the point. Helped me remove my dishwasher and only took about 15 mins
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much for this video!! It’s a bit intimidating at first but a lot easier when someone like you makes a step by step walk through of the process. !!
Thank you so much for this detailed clear visual video. I really appreciate the time you put in to help others
Glad it was helpful!
Holy butt cheeks, batman! You saved me with this vid brother! Hope someone gives you a physical high five for me. For now, you'll have to take my virtual high five
My dishwasher shifted under the countertop, so the door jammed.
Your video helped me realign and secure it.
It was easy to understand and follow.
Thank you very much for your time and efforts making it and for helping others.
Excellent!
I searched for Dishwasher Removal and see videos that are anywhere from 10 - 30 minutes long. I've never removed a dishwasher, but I'm thinking, 'can it really be that complicated?' Sure enough, your video is clear and comprehensive.... and it's less than 3 minutes long :) Thanks.
I get right to the point in all my videos. No one needs to hear my life story!!
@@chrisnotap awesome, thank you very much
It takes a lot of thought and planning to say less yet tell more.
Great video! And no time wasted on useless info, music, graphics, etc. Just subscribed to your channel.
Great video. Made the process as easy as possible. I would recommend multiple, thick towels for water absorption.
Great tip!
Perfect - a quick and simple tutorial with no fluff. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Very happy I didn't have to pay to have it removed.
Thanks for the video Chris. Once I realized that the power source was right up front. I was able to check power in, ultimately the wire nut had come loose so I just reconnected the wires and BOOM!!! just like that I saved $500 by not having to get a new dishwasher.
Fantastic!!
Thank you for this simple, quick, to the point, easy to follow guide! Love it! Everything I needed to know in one place.
Such a simple and straightforward tutorial. Well done and thank you!
Thanks for making this so informative but so quick. I had 1 tiny thing I was second-guessing myself on & didn't want to cause permanent damage if I was wrong. Took me less than the length of the video to figure it out, and I didn't waste any time trying to fast forward through some long, unnecessary intro. Thanks!!
Glad it helped!
Great help without a lot of nonsense. Thanks!
Great tips. U covered all the main bases, especially for direct wire units.
Thanks for the video. All went as you described. A couple of issues due to previous owners choices but the video was very helpful. I hope the install goes as you describe the removal.
You're welcome!
Thank you this video is very straight to the point and helpful
GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO!!! Never unassembled a dishwasher before and it was easy thanks to Chris!
Glad it helped!
great informative video, mine was attached to the cabinets from the side instead of through the top, took me a little bit to figure that out but everything else was perfect. I'll probably be getting one of those circuit testers as well.
Very clear explanation with understandable rationales. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for this video!!! Me and my hubby successfully removed our old dishwasher today and I get a new one put it tomorrow. YAY!! Thanks for saving us some money. :)
this video saved me $240! thank you!!
Great video! I was able to take out my dishwasher with no issues.
Glad it helped!
I liked the under the dishwasher shot very creative.
Thanks!
Best video cause super short and all info
Thank you for making this video it helped me remove my dishwasher!
Thank you for that absolutely incredible instruction video! Clear, concise, and informative! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I don't even know what else you do just yet, but you've got a new subscriber in me, because I want to see it and learn more!
Glad it was helpful!
Smart and handy man!
Thanks man.
Thank you. Just used to fix our dishwasher.
You're a stud! Thanks for the info!
Of course! It is a Swedish Fire Log. And they’re cool as long as you make it right and observe all warnings for outdoor open fires.
Very easy and straight forward video! Can’t wait to try it later today
Really usefull, best video I have found on that, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Saved me $75!! Thanks
Thanks Dad 🙏🏾😂
My hubby said he needed my help. I personally learn and do most house repairs. I want him to feel important and needed. So I am thankful this video will help us both! 😍❤
Wow, good quick thorough video
Glad it was helpful!
This just saved me 300$ thank you so much
Thank you
Great video thanks 😎👍
Thank you.
Good video. Furniture sliders are helpful for this sort of thing, they make it slide easier and protect the floor. Harbor Freight sells an appropriate set for $4.00.
Thank you
Great video. Appreciate the info!
Great video! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Chris, you're a lifesaver...
I think you could be a super cool grandpa
That's pretty cool of you to say that! Thanks!
Chris Notap i think from a 16yo boy that's a really good compliment
Wow ! Thank you
You're welcome!
Thankyou . Very helpful.
I followed your clear instructions and successfully removed my old dishwasher and installed new one. And I am proud of my self. Thanks a lot to you.
You make really great videos. 👍
Super quick and to the point yet still take the time to emphasize safety. Perfect tutorial in my opinion. Thank you, Chris.
Thanks for taking the time to give me that great feedback!! I try to make all of my videos like that! Thanks!
Great simple instructions! Took it out easy. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Liked and subscribed 👍🏽
Awesome ty ty!
Very good video.
Chris THANK YOU SO MUCH for your well done and very helpful videos! My dad has passed away but taught me how to fix various things - so now I have a second fix-it dad :)
The Picquic 44106 Dynamic Duo SIXPAC Plus and STUBBY combo pack is no longer available on Amazon, and I don't want to buy a professional socket set. Can you let me know the specific size socket and a similar tool to the Picquic that I can buy please?
Most Kind Regards, Lauren
Your video was perfect! Quick, simple and straight to the point. Thank you so much for making it so easy!!
Yay I need to pull dishwasher out to seal behind it because ants are coming from under the dishwasher. Very helpful video, but now I know it’s too difficult for me, I’m a young female :(
Glad it was helpful!
what if the dish washer has standing water in it? should i run the shop vac without the filter and get all the standing water out first? currently on the site as we speak
Yes. Suck out as much as you can with the shop vac
Amazing video. Great information, short, and to the point.
If I could ask a question/nitpick - Why did you disconnect the water from the braided hose instead of unscrewing the adapter elbow from the dishwasher?
The adapter elbow is threaded into the dishwasher. You can't unthread it with the hose connected.
I will have to try it out!
Why did you disconnect the wires? Technically could you have just unplugged the cable from the outlet?
thank you soooo much! Very helpful video. You went to the point without extra unnecessary talking. Great point about electrical tester; gonna go buy one before I start removal. Thanks again.
Hey, just a question. Not sure if its dumb but I’m assuming i should cap of the ends of wiring with the those caps on hide the wires if i can. I no longer want to use a dishwasher and am replacing it with a small storage space, so i was thinking of hiring the wires in a box.
Yes if you want to put them in an electrical box, use the same caps to cover the ends of the wires.
Thank you for the video! What was the purpose of removing the electrical connections? I did it, but then I pulled my dishwasher out and it was plugged into a standard outlet. Do I need to keep that electrical connection for my new dishwasher? Just making sure that I don’t need to do anything for it on the subsequent install.
Some are wired direct and some are wired like yours to a plug. Just go in reverse and connect it up the same way.
@@chrisnotap Thank you. To clarify, if my new one is just a plug, I don't need to do anything with the electrical connections on my new machine, correct?
@@therealrahul8 Correct.
I love the part when you were running to the breaker box because you turned off the wrong one. LMFAO! Thanks Chris!
Glad you liked it!
I've been needing to do this for awhile now. But have no shutoff for the water line that goes to the dishwasher without shutting off the whole kitchen sink/fridge line.
Much appreciated! All good and true. I'd have like to have seen you spend a bit more time on the electrical. It's just not as obvious on some makes and you fly through it at light speed. Showing which wires are to the dishwasher and which to the house current would have been helpful. Regardless.... THANKS!
That's good feedback. I will add more info next time. Thanks!
Thanks. Good, concise video. Slight differences, but it worked fine. Maybe mention removal of the ground screw.
Thanks for this, will give it a try. What is the name of the tool used to disconnect the drain hose? My DW isn't next to sink so not sure what I'll find when I start this project, I'm guessing separate water supply to DW from sink as it's on opposite side of the kitchen (1970's TH)
If I could only find those two screws!
aaarrggghhhh!!!!!
I love this, because each cut gets right to the point. THis is how every how-to video should be. Amazing.
I have no screws on top though. don't know why.
Quartz/granit/marble countertop ? Make sure you don't pull out both fully loaded trays at once, as the whole unit might topple over.
i need help...i like ur video, i am removing an old samsung dishwasher, it doesnt have the water line u der the fro t panal at the bottom?? thats the only trouble im having
I'm going to get on of those flukes for the Bio-Med shop at work. It is a life saver. Thanks Chris!
Wow!! This should be UA-cam's manuel on how to post help videos. Quick and straight to the point! Thank you very much. Now I'm confident in removing ours.
Thanks for that great feedback!
here I go!!!
GREAT video!! Thanks, worked like a charm. Your video showed all the important steps with great pictures and it only took a couple minutes to watch. My dishwasher is older and there wasn't very much clearance, so raising the feet was a bear (about 1/8th of a turn is all that was possible). The rear feet are absolutely impossible to reach so I just had to manhandle the thing out.
"Muchas gracias" for your time in this Video.
And for helping me save some $$$......!!!
I showed this to my dad to help him understand that you don’t have to take it out by force, but I was too late
Thank U for your Video....my dishwasher it's rocking now......the hot water hose was changed.....& I am not broke. Thnks
Thanks for this video! Did it tonight as per your instructions and it was easy! 🙏🏻
When I tried to use the door to pull or "wiggle it" the door cam of the hinges
This video was perfect! I followed the steps and it worked great! Thank you, Chris!
Thanks for this "how to" video! And, just as the title says- 30 minutes is all it took to get my dishwasher out :) I know I would never have figured it out on my own & I'm pretty sure it would have cost me a couple hundred to call in someone to do it for me. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Does the breaker get electricity only to the dishwasher, I want to remove the dishwasher and work few days in the kitchen before get a new one .
In some cases yes. In some cases no. If you find that other things in your house are also shut off, use marr connectors on the ends of the dishwasher wires for safety and then turn the breaker back on.
when you remove the drain, how do you close it off that Y? it was fine before but now water is leaking from the dual sink drain due to my Y pipe being horizontal
Thanks Chris. When it comes to water and electricity it's always great to have someone to remind me of all the steps I might otherwise miss 😁👍🏼
