# How to Locate the Float Switch in a GE Profile Dishwasher
If a GE Profile dishwasher is leaking water or not draining water well, one of the possible causes is a defective float switch. The float switch is located underneath the bottom of the dishwasher tub. To get to the float switch and inspect the device, you have to be able to access this area. Always disconnect power to the GE dishwasher before performing any maintenance tasks.
