What LEAK means
The dishwasher sensed a possible leak and cancelled the cycle.
Also shown as: LEAK DETECTED, depending on the model.
Likely causes
- Leak inside the base of the dishwasher
Safe first checks
- Turn the dishwasher off and wipe up any water on the floor so nobody slips.
When to stop
GE says to contact service when LEAK DETECTED appears. If water is near outlets or wiring, switch the dishwasher's breaker off first.
