GE dishwasher only fills with water about half the time. Runs the whole cycle sometimes but Nowater has run at all.
Check the float switch usually located in the front right of the dishwasher it should move up and down freely sometimes crud will get under the float and hold it up so the dishwasher thinks its already full.

If you look inside the dishwasher paying special atention to the left front corner. Remove the lower dishrack and then you will see a dome shaped piece of plastic attached by one screw. Remove this screw and check and see if the float is gunked up. Sometime you have to remove the lower access panel to remove a little pal nut off the bottom of the float assembly to actually remove it to clean. Clean it real good and reinstall. This should solve your problem.

Sounds like you need a new water inlet valve. It's not shutting off completely, so water slowly enters the machine even while it isn't running.

Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. To start with check the water inlet valve which is located
behind the lower access panel on the left or right side of the Dishwasher. If
the water inlet valve is bad you have to replace it, also check the main water
line for clogs/obstructions. If still the issue is not resolved then it’s a bad
float switch and needs to be replaced. Please do accept the solution if the
issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
Thanks

Hi
You'll need to
check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the float switch
assembly. When the water fills your dishwasher, a float rises along with it. As
the float reaches a certain threshold level, it shuts off the flow of water,
thereby preventing a leak. Sometimes the float can get stuck in the wrong
position in your dishwasher, and it can prevent your dishwasher from filling.
Sometimes it can happen due to float valve and on other occasions due to float
switch. Inspect the water hose coming to the dishwasher for any blockages. If the
hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the
water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve
is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check
continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then
you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is
fine then the float switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps...
Please post back if you need more information.
