The full checklist

Read the sequence before starting. Follow each step only when its preparation and branch conditions are met.

  1. Confirm whether the property can experience freezing temperatures while the dishwasher is unused. If freezing is possible, arrange professional winterizing instead of this warm-weather procedure.

  2. Complete the final normal wash and remove dishes after cooling. Do not leave soiled dishware in the machine.

  3. Locate the known dishwasher supply shutoff and the property main shutoff. Follow the property water plan: the manual calls for both the main valve and the nearest dishwasher supply to be turned off. Use qualified help if their operation or shared-property consequences are unclear.

  4. Turn off the accessible supply points without forcing a valve. Leave the dishwasher door slightly open only when this is safe for children, pets and walkways.

  5. Plan the return: if the hot-water system has been unused for two weeks or more, the manual requires running all hot-water faucets for several minutes before dishwasher use, without smoking or open flames. Do not confuse a dishwasher-only absence with whole-system disuse. Check for leakage when supplies are restored.

When to stop

  • Stop using the dishwasher for smoke, a burning smell, damaged wiring, an active leak or water near electrical equipment. Isolate power and water only from a safe, dry, accessible location; otherwise keep clear and request qualified help.
  • Do not remove the pump cover, reach into the pump, open electrical panels, bypass the door interlock or move the installed dishwasher. Refer plumbing connections, installation and repairs to qualified service.
  • Stop if a part is cracked, jammed, sharp, insecure or different from the matching manual. Do not force a fitting or touch hot water. Never mix cleaning products.
Every check and possible next step

Start at “Will the property remain above freezing throughout the absence?”. Choose only what you observed. An unobserved condition is its own answer.

Will the property remain above freezing throughout the absence?

Steps for this check: 1.

  • Yes, this is a warm-weather absence

    Pause and request qualified help — The observed condition needs qualified help. Keep the appliance out of use when a safety concern remains. Share the exact model, displayed message and your before/after observations; do not open panels, bypass a lock or access the pump.
  • I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
    Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.
