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
