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
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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
