Why Dishwashers Break Down
What Gets Fixed on a Caledonia Dishwasher Call
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not drying dishes or dishwasher not cleaning dishes.
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
Keep the drain hose free of kinks, twists and pinches, and follow local plumbing codes for the drain connection. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions

What Caledonia Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Caledonia 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
