If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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

Local Notes for Caldwell
Most dishwasher calls in Caldwell 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.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.
