Why Dishwashers Break Down
What Gets Fixed on a Salton City Dishwasher Call
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not draining or dishwasher not cleaning dishes.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
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
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
Keep the drain hose free of kinks, twists and pinches, and follow local plumbing codes for the drain connection. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions
