The Usual Dishwasher Culprits in Valley Falls
What Gets Fixed on a Valley Falls Dishwasher Call
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not draining or dishwasher smells bad.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
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
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.

Rhode Island does not issue a license named for appliance repair, but its Department of Labor and Training licenses pipefitters and refrigeration technicians, including a limited natural gas service license that covers servicing gas-fueled appliances.
