A loose dishwasher is not always disconnected
A built-in dishwasher may still be attached to power, water, the drain, countertop, or adjacent cabinets. Have the relevant qualified professional finish those connections before pickup.
Ready means all five checks pass
| Check | Ready condition |
|---|---|
| Power | Plug removed or hardwired connection handled. |
| Water | Supply off and line disconnected. |
| Drain | Hose disconnected and remaining water contained. |
| Cabinet | Mounting screws removed. |
| Floor | Dry, protected, and clear to the exit. |
Protect the path
Pull the unit fully free only if it can stand securely. Keep sharp brackets and loose hoses from dragging across floors or catching trim.
Plan the pickup
Call with the appliance type, condition, floor level, and tightest access point. Read the companion Dishwasher Removal page for service boundaries, or visit the estimate guide.
