What Usually Goes Wrong
What a Dishwasher Repair Technician Checks
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher smells bad or dishwasher not draining.
Water, Power and Safety First
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
