- Stop running the dishwasher and close its accessible water valve if the area is safe.
- Keep people off soft or lifted flooring to avoid further damage.
- Avoid using wet outlets, cords or the appliance; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
- Move loose items from the wet floor without pulling up fixed flooring.
