I have an old Bosch dishwasher that I want to get rid of. It is connected to the mains via an Aquastop pipe and solenoid. My temptation is just to unscrew it, but there does not seem to be a tap to turn off the water first. There is screw in the fitting under the solenoid that I can turn anti-clockwise, but I do not know if that turns off the water.

There is a branch off this mains to which a washing machine is attached, but this has a clear tap to turn on and off.

I want to avoid releasing water into the room! What do I need to do?
Thanks

Easy if you're a plumber I guess, but if you have no plumbing knowledge? Its a Bosch, nearly ten years old I think, its door won't shut, so it needs to be removed. They're a few videos that supposedly explain how to do it, but none for countertop dishwashers. I only saw one mention what you...

Hi guys. There's a small dishwasher in our kitchen. It's just a stand-alone one that you can put anywhere, rather than something built into the kitchen cabinets. Anyway it's busted and I'd like to remove it and disconnect the rubber pipes at the back, but I don't want to do that and flood the...
