Water, Power and Safety First
A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions
