Why Dishwashers Break Down
Inside a Dishwasher Repair Visit
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
A dishwasher must be grounded; if the home wiring lacks a ground or the plug does not fit the outlet, a licensed electrician should correct it rather than modifying the plug. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher User 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

Around Tecumseh
Most dishwasher calls in Tecumseh 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.
Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system.

In Oklahoma, you can check a license with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board Licensee Search or report a problem to the Oklahoma Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
