Help - how on earth do I disconnect a dishwasher?

[theduchessstill]

I have a new one being delivered in 3 hours and need to disconnect the old one but it seems it's a lot more complicated than I had anticipated! Google says there will be one rubber hose, but there appears to be 2 - one seems to be going to the washing machine, and neither look like they'll disconnect easily.

Can anyone do an idiot's guide, please?!

Do you have wd40 or something you can spray on it? Think it turns clockwise to turn off

Hope you’re sorted by now; WD40 would have been my recommendation. “Turning” is a bit of a ropey description imo in that it’s more like a hard flip up or down. Generally the blue bit lies parallel I.e in the same direction as the pipe when water is turned on, moving it 90 degrees to pipe generally turns it off. My experience is flipping it down/clockwise is more usual but it is possible the other way.
