My dishwasher had similar problem. It didn't drain, and there was a puddle of water under the machine. It also stopped mid-cycle. If you called a repair guy, it will cost $150-250, and they will only take out the old drain hose and put a new one in.
If your dishwasher won't drain, or if it's leaking water, the following video will talk you through the repair process. Usually the drain hose is the most common problem. It clogs up after a couple years due to buildup of cleaning detergents, and when its clogged, the machine cannot drain the water, it stops during the cleaning process, and it leaks out the bottom. Replacing the hose will cost $10-15 and it only takes about 20 minutes to fix. www.youtube.com/user/mkbrennan13
This will save you hundreds. It's easy, you don't need to be mechanical to do it yourself.
My 9 year-old Kitchenaid developed these symptoms. If I pushed hard on the door it would start again. I bent the spring clip that holds the door shut to apply more pressure and now it works fine.

I have a GE Profile Performance dishwasher, Model # GSD4920Z04BB. The water will not drain. How can I avoid a service call? I'd like to try this on my own. Thank you.
