What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A swollen cabinet toe kick may signal water behind it. The crew checks the base and adjoining wall before choosing selective removal or drying in place.

• Stop the washer cycle only if the controls can be reached from dry, stable footing.
• Close accessible hot and cold supply valves without reaching through water or behind a live appliance.
• Avoid touching the plug, cord or breaker from a wet area; an electrician handles unsafe power isolation.
