– Check the electrical connection to the water

Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is
■
found, turn off power, tighten connections and
restore power.
Check for leaks around the door. A leak around
■
the door could be caused by the dishwasher door
rubbing or hitting adjacent cabinets. Reposition
the dishwasher if necessary. See Steps 11, 12
and 13.
Most dishwasher models will drain about 3 min-
■
utes after the first fill. Check the drain line for
leaks when dishwasher drains. If leaks are found,
turn off power, correct as necessary and then
restore power.
Open the dishwasher door and make sure most
■
of the water has drained. If the water does not
drain, check to be sure disposer plug has been
removed and/or air gap is free of debris.
Let the dishwasher run through another fill and
■
drain cycle. Check again to be sure there are no
leaks.
At the end of the second drain, unlatch the door
■
and rotate the dial to the "OFF" position.
