Now let’s each grab a side and see if we can work this out. Now all of our major connection are separated we can detach the dishwasher form the counter. O.K., great a little water in there, not too much. First she releases the clamp, then with a little tug pulls the hose free. Then she moves on to disconnect the drain line. RON HAZELTON: Sandi loosens up the connection on the water line using one of my favorite tools, the basin wrench. We’ll slip this pan under here, we may get a little bit of water leaking out. Now we’re ready to move on to the plumbing. We test the wires to make sure that they’re not live before we go ahead and cut them. RON HAZELTON: After shutting off the water supply our next job is to disconnect the electrical lines. So what I want to do is um, is um while you’ve got the power off, I want to turn off the water, so we can disconnect this. RON HAZELTON: The electrical is coming in right here and then the drain is this big, this big hose here.
So you can se the water line is coming in right here. Then we can access the bottom part of the appliance where all the plumbing and electrical connections are. We start by turning off the power at the breaker box and then taping down the switch so no one will come along and accidentally turn it on a again. Sandi has already purchased a new dishwasher so our first task it top remove the old one. alright, so this looks like it’s a candidate for replacement. RON HAZELTON: There’s a mouse in there? There is. SANDI: It uh, kind of sound like there’s a little mouse in there running. It’s noisy and just doesn’t work the way that it should anymore. One of the first things that she wants to tackle is replacing the aging dishwasher. RON HAZELTON: Like many first time homeowners Sandi knows her new house needs a lot of work. Sandi Fix is proud to be a Charlatan as they’re called, and she has bestowed upon me the honor of assisting in the very first project in her new home. It boasts a world class NASCAR track as well as NBA and NFL franchises. RON HAZELTON: For our final project today, the rolling workshop heads West to Charlotte, North Carolina.
