I have a 17 month old Kenmore Elite dishwasher. It cleans the dishes great and is super quiet. Last night, when I turned it on, water came pouring out from underneath. I mopped it up, removed the kickplate, and watched as I turned it on again. Same thing. I don't know what the parts are, but as soon as it began to fill, all the water ran out the bottom. I mopped it up again, and this time just tried pouring a bowl of water into the dishwasher. Same thing--it all ran straight through. I mopped it up and put a fan on to dry the underside overnight. This morning, the control panel is still functional and looks normal. Of course, I'm not starting it up!
Any ideas on what the problem is? Is this going to be a costly repair? We paid $850 (on sale!!) for the dishwasher--most expensive one I've had. :-( Any help would be appreciated!

agree with other post, factory normally test, something had to come loose. was box damaged in any way when you bought and brought home. Did anyone drop the unit in any way. normally factory test leaves a little water in the pump, did you leave in cold weather where it could have frozen pump and cracked, just trying to think of everything. Good luck.
