Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
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
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
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 Milton Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Milton 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.
