Disconnect the drain pipe from the sink. The drain pipe is connected at the bottom of your sink strainer with a slip nut or a coupling nut, that connects plastic drain piping to a metal sink strainer. First loosen the nut that attaches the strainer to the drain pipe with channel locks or an adjustable wrench.
Turn off the water to the dishwasher. You can find the supply valve beneath the kitchen sink; turning the valve handle clockwise turns off the water. Find the dishwasher drain hose connection beneath the sink. It could attach to the garbage disposal, the sink drain pipe or an air gap. An air gap is a small cylindrical fixture that prevents the back flow of dirty water into the dishwasher; it sits on the countertop behind the sink and has a small vent and a pipe that extends beneath the counter.
