Organising dishwasher hoses and baskets

Dishwasher hoses and internal baskets need separate checks during a move. Do not leave preparation until the loading team is at the door.

Organising dishwasher hoses and baskets

Before you start

Consult the instructions for disconnection and draining. Built-in appliances may require additional work to remove furniture panels and fixings.

Practical steps

  • Label removed small parts and installation fittings.
  • Protect hose ends so they cannot damage surrounding surfaces.
  • Follow the manufacturer's transport instructions for internal components instead of stuffing gaps with improvised material.

Checks on arrival

Have the installer check water connections, levelling and door movement at the destination. Do not start the appliance if a leak is suspected.

What to include in your quote request

Add the quantity, approximate dimensions and preparation status to your inventory. Include the floor, lift and vehicle access at both addresses. Photos help with the initial assessment. Confirm responsibility for packing, dismantling and reassembly in the written quote.
