Built-in dishwasher - how do I get it out?!

    Hi there, maybe someone can help? I have a built-in whirlpool ADG937 dishwasher that is causing some problems (not properly filling/ leaking at back) and I want to pull it out to access the hoses at the rear, but it is very snugly built in to my kitchen cabinets under the counter top with the outer door being of the same walnut wood as my other cabinet doors. My problem is how do I pull it out? I have nothing to grab on to or no access to it from the sides I have taken off the skirting board of the presses and all I can see is the small steel front legs of the dishwasher. i don't know what do do!

    Check when the dishwasher door is open if you can see screws down the side edge attaching it to the carcass of the kitchen.
    The two front legs will screw up into the machine so the front will drop down.
    In the middle of the two legs there should be a hole with arrows to show you to lower or higher the rear leg, you'll want to lower it. should pull out then, open the door and pull from inside the machine.
    Has the floor got tiles? are they tiled under the machine or just up to it?

    Its just sitting on the floor tiles. cannot see any internal screws on the sides of the machine attaching to the cabinet carcass, yes there is a hexagonal kind of screw/bolt between the legs on the lower plate in the middle I will try to adjust that for the back legs as you said. The front legs also have a kind of hexagonal base which i will attempt to turn to get them down... we're getting there I hope!! the only thing is there is nothing really to grab on to inside the machine to pull it or yank it out. Thanks so much btw!

    Well if you manage to lower it by turing the legs into the machine both front and back, it will drop from under the counter so if you put your hands into the dish washer you should be able to rock it out. Hope this helps.:rolleyes:
