GE Dishwasher, Installation Instructions Manual, Page: 14 / 16

Dishwasher Installation
– Check the electrical connection to the water
valve. The red electrical connector should be
plugged into the dishwasher water valve. If it is
not plugged in, turn off electrical power to the
dishwasher. Plug the red connector into the dish-
washer water valve and then restore power.
■
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.
