Transporting or Moving a Dishwasher

When moving a dishwasher, it is best to drain the pump first by engaging the drain solenoid where the drain hose was attached. 

  1. Unplug power to dishwasher
  2. Remove drain hose from pump, push down on plunger in the middle of the solenoid. This will drain the water out.
 
Dishwashers travel best on their back with the door facing up and latched since dishwashers tend to be a little top heavy when out of the cabinet.
