Admrial dishwasher

not really all that familliar with the admiroal d/w, but ther eshould be some sort of float switch/ overfill switch inside the tub assembly. usually a mushroom shaped plastic cap in either of the front corners under the lower rack. if that "switch" is stuck in the up positon , the machine would not allow any water to flow intoo the machine, sometimes a piece of pasta, or a utensil willget stuck under it not allowing it to "float" freely. you can start there!
