We have a dishwasher that sporadically starts to fill up without even being turned on. Of course when it does this, it doesnt drain and leaks all over floor. Any ideas why this could be happening and any remedies? Thanks

*IF* it does it with the dishwasher circuit breaker turned off, we can say it is the fill valve stuck, for sure. It is located just above the floor, behind the toekick plate, on the left.

Post back if this is not the case.
