Why Dishwashers Break Down
How a Dishwasher Service Call Usually Goes in Waverly
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not filling with water or dishwasher not draining.
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
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
When a dishwasher drains into a garbage disposer, the disposer's drain plug must be knocked out first; if it is left in, the dishwasher will not drain. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions
