Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for LEAK DETECTED on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Shut the supply valve feeding the dishwasher.
Check the floor and the area behind the toe kick for water and dry it.
Book a visit; the Profile manual sends owners to service for this message.
What not to do
Do not assume the message is a glitch because the floor looks dry. The sensor sits in the base under the tub, and water can collect there out of sight.
