Question:

How do I replace copper pipe on a dishwasher?

My problem is more about getting the old one off. I got one end off, but the other end, under the dishwasher is the problem. I don‘t seem to have enough room to manuever the wrench to get it off. Is there a trick to this?

Answer:

Well, if you have one end off, wouldn't you then be able to just pull the whole thing out? Perhaps the trick is attaching the hard to get at one while the unit is outside of it's space, and the easy one while it is in there. Ours ,fortunately, had enough room to get at it. Also, you may want to try a different tool. If you find that a wrench is not working, perhaps try vice grips or something like that.
If you take the two screws out of the side, the solenoid will drop down and the 3/8 male Adapt.will unscrew real easy.or get a basin wrench
