Hi,

Thanks in advance for the help! We are having a problem with our dishwasher. It's a GE, Profile, model # GLD4500R00CC.

For starters, we noticed water pouring out of it today while we were rinsing dishes in the sink. We were not running the dishwasher at the time, but the dishwasher was open because we were loading it.

The water was pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher, pouring out over the sides, and also dripping out of the top of the front panel while it was open (which looked like it had filled up with water internally, if that makes any sense).

I cleaned the water off the floor, closed the dishwasher, and ran a rinse cycle. It pumped all the water out and everything seemed fine. I also ran the garbage disposal and checked the sink… no clogs and everything seems to work as it should.

The dishwasher ran through the rinse cycle, but now we can’t get it to run a regular wash cycle. It starts like normal, but it only runs for about 2-4 minutes before it suddenly turns off and all the lights go off on the front panel.

I tried flipping the breaker switch but that didn’t help. After some Google searching it sounds like it could be a bad motor. I’m willing to try replacing it myself, but I don’t want to go through the hassle if it might be something else. Any ideas?

For background, the dishwasher was originally installed in the house when we built it roughly 4 years ago.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
