Active Flood Protect on GE Profile models detects water leaks and helps prevent overflows. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile Dishwashers
Common GE Dishwasher Problems

Dishwasher Notes for Hiawatha, IA
Most dishwasher calls in Hiawatha come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
