Sounds like the flood switch has activated.
You will have to drag the dishwasher out from under the counter after turning off the power to it. Tilt to one side so that any water collected under it is expelled. This will free up the flood switch. Wait about 30 minutes and turn the power back on.
There could be a leak of some sorts from the door seal or hoses which is causing the water to collect.
Hope this solves the problem. It is unclear why none of the lights are lighting up to show a fault condition.
Not sure why this solution has caused a refund.
The solution was shrewd based on info provided. The Fixya system failure was that the solution was provided 3 days after problem posting. If Fixya would make it clear that a "paid for" solution may not be provided for days, rather than the ambiguous "soon" there would be less animosity generated. P.S. the flood switch had failed. Contacts were fused. Since there was no evidence of flooding/leaking, I bypassed the flood switch temporarily and will replace it in the future. The cause of the switch failure is unclear. I believe something caused the styrofoam float to shift and forced a proximity contact in the switch which over time caused a full meltdown. I can't account for this one in any other way.

The top load washer utilizes a pressure switch attached to a clear plastic hose. If the water fills the tub but will not stop filling you will need to remove the top panel and inspect the hose for obstructions. You may need to disconnect the tube flush it clean and make sure no foreign debris are in the connector on the pressure switch. If the tub will over fill, you may need to replace the pressure switch. If the water will not fill the tub and the water continues to run you need to check the drain pump. Is water exiting through the drain hose? If so the drain pump could be the problem.
