Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
Shut off the dishwasher's water supply during repairs or whenever it is leaking; the valve is usually under the kitchen sink on the branch line that runs to the dishwasher, and it closes by turning clockwise. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Water Shut-Off Location
A dishwasher must be grounded; if the home wiring lacks a ground or the plug does not fit the outlet, a licensed electrician should correct it rather than modifying the plug. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher User Instructions

What Vancouver Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Vancouver come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Washington's Department of Labor & Industries issues an appliance repair (07D) specialty electrician certificate that covers like-for-like repair and replacement of self-contained appliances such as ovens on an unchanged circuit, but excludes branch-circuit wiring and plumbing work.

In Washington, you can check a license with the L&I Verify a Contractor, Tradesperson or Business or report a problem to the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection.
