If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
If the dishwasher has no working shut-off valve of its own, close the main water supply to the house instead. 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
To keep dirty water from siphoning back into the dishwasher, the drain hose is run in a high loop (at least 32 inches high in GE's instructions) or through an air gap; an air gap is called for when local code requires it or when the drain connection sits less than 18 inches above the floor.

What Laconia Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Laconia 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.
New Hampshire has no license for appliance repair as such; fuel gas work, including gas appliance installation and service, is licensed by the Mechanical Safety and Licensing Board, whose licenses are limited to their named specialty. Source: N.H. RSA 153:29 (NH General Court)
In New Hampshire, you can check a license with the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification License Lookup or report a problem to the New Hampshire Department of Justice, Consumer Protection & Antitrust Bureau.
