Dishwashers: Water ON/OFF Valve

Basic Maintenance Guide For Tenants

Tool Tip:
A flashlight may come in handy if it’s dark inside your cabinetry!
Remember, most smart phones have flash light functionality.


If your dishwasher is leaking, or causing a flood, you will need to turn the water supply OFF immediately.

To locate the water ON/OFF valve for your dishwasher, open the cabinet door/doors next to the dishwasher, this is usually under a sink, and look on the back/side panel to locate the water valve.

Note: The location of the ON/OFF valve may vary, some are installed through the back panel of the cabinet, others may be installed through the side or the bottom of the cabinet.
