I tried filling the bottom of the dishwasher with some water but this

I had this with a Bosch. There was a float switch in the base of the
unit[1] that would run the pump if it filled with water. A slow drip
from the inlet valve joint had, over a couple of years, filled it and
finally tripped it.
[1] ie outside the usual water containing bits, 1/4" off the floor.

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
I was struggling with the same problem with a FAURE dishwasher after our kitchen had been flooded. Luckily I found these posts, tipped the dishwasher and emptied the water that had collected in the base and it is now working fine again. Many thanks!
Glad to see a three year old post being useful...
We had the reverse problem with our Bosch - when it sprang a pinhole
leak it wouldn't go at all until I sponged out the tray underneath.
It was built in; in the end we sold the house.
