Had new kitchen so just re connected my dishwasher. Warning light to check water has come on. hoses and water going into machine seems ok but machine seems to be slow at filling. looked at filters in case of blockage with no result. Any ideas would be helpful please Merry Christmas Janice

Hello William Avant,

(Unless you mean water TRAP)

Water is turned off and/or there is no pinch
or twist in the supply hose...

First check the valve is fully on... then pull the machine away from the wall and inspect the entire length to make sure it is not pinched of kinked.

TRAP (out-put)... in addition to checking the drain hose...
Make sure the connection to the Garbage DISPOSER
has been opened (see DISPOSER owner's manual)...
and follow instructions for connecting DISHWASHER
drain..

Easily tested... (use CAUTION)

Loosen the hose and direct the "out flow" into the sink
(be prepared for the water to be very HOT)

The drain hose may be clogged. Most of the times the clogging occurs at the connection with the drain pipe under the kitchen sink.

is it brand new? as they sometmes fit **** plugs into where water hoses connect, if water cant pass then machine will not initiate sequence due to the fail safe system to prevent further damage incurrd by not having water flowing thru machine. also water hose could have just become kinked when you located machine under worktop for instance, if it has two water inlet points make sure you connect supply to both as this is required, it doesnt have to be one hot one cold two cold is sufficient and if you only have connections in kitchen for one pipe you can buy a plastic Y junction turning one pipe into two, these are available at most domestic appliance stores for few pound, you will require two more hose though to connect to Y splitter then to machine, failing that if its not new machine its possible the inlet pump is faulty, if pump doesnt start to pump water in the machine will not allow you to access any programs.

Most dishwashers are housed in a cabinet next to your kitchen sink.
Not knowing how exactly your machine is set up I will just advise you on common setup features and removal.
First open the doors to kitchen cabinet under the sink. If you see two hoses connected under the sink, they most likely are from your dishwasher. One is an inlet hose which would be connected to a water tap. The other would be a drain hose which would be connected via a clamp to the drain under your sink.
Turn off water tap to remove inlet hose. Unscrew or undo the clamp fixing your drain hose to drain pipe. Note when you remove the drain hose the hole to the drain pipe is exposed. You need to block this off as it will leak water when ever the sink is running. I normally get a plastic bag and twist it inside the hole and tape it off.
Next you need to locate the power cord and plug for the dishwasher. This is normally under the sink cabinet as well. However, check either side of the dishwasher. Sometimes they are behind the dishwasher.
Once you have disconnected the hoses, open dishwasher door. Look on the inside walls of the dishwasher. Some models are screwed into the wall of the cabinet so you need to unscrew machine. The screws go in either from the side walls or from the inside roof of dishwaser to your benchtop.
You need to also remove the kitchen kickboard if one has been installed infront of the dishwasher.
When machine is free open the diswasher door and grab either side of door and gently pull machine out. Have someone help you feed the hoses through as you pull out.
If the machine does not easily pull out check again for hidden anchor screws around the edges of the machine or even clamps which fix the hoses to the cabinet.
If you have issues pulling it out see if you can take some pictures and I will help you.

If youve taken the fill hose off and checked for running water out of tap and its not coming through, your machine is ok, you have a water fault.the humming is the water valve working.

Firstly check the connection where the dishwasher hose connects to the drain. Remove this washe hose and see there is no stoppage at that piont. If all ok go to the dishwasher and see if there is no stoppage in the sump where the water goes out. If ok then the drain pump in the machine is either blocked or faulty. you will have to access this pump to be able to proceed further. good luck

Check to see if the float switch located on the bottom corner of the dishwasher is not stuck in the up position. Move it up and down a few times and it should click each time you move it up and down.
If this is ok then you have to put a multi meter across the water inlet valve to see if you have a current flow the the valve. If you you have 120 volts at the inlet valve and still no water. Replace valve.

If your dishwasher leaks, check these:Main tub seal
Door gasket or seal
Water-inlet valve
Hoses

Main tub seal
Note… If the main motor of your dishwasher is mounted vertically, beneath the center bottom of the dishwasher, the following instructions probably apply to you. But if your motor is mounted horizontally, the pump isn't serviceable--you need to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

The main tub seal is beneath the drain impeller. It prevents the water in the dishwasher from leaking out near the shaft of the motor. To get to the seal, which is inside the dishwasher, remove the:

1. Lower rack
2. Spray arm
3. Spray arm support
4. Wash/drain impellers


Then pry the seal out of its housing and replace it.


Door gasket or seal
Over time, door gaskets and seals harden and lose their ability to seal properly. You can't repair the seals. You need to replace them if they've begun to leak. 


Water-inlet valve
The water-inlet valve, itself, seldom leaks. But, the water-supply line from the house and the rubber tube leading from the valve to the inside of the dishwasher may leak. Tighten or repair/replace these as necessary.

The water-inlet valve could mechanically stick open. When that happens, the water continues to flow into the dishwasher, which then floods your kitchen. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher, and replace the valve.

Hoses
Behind the lower access panel on your dishwasher are several rubber or plastic hoses. If the leak appears at a connection, try a new clamp. If that doesn't work, replace the hose.

dishwasher drain enters sewer system tapped into waste pipe below kitchen sink
water flowing from kitchen sink passes the opening of the dishwasher pipe
If the dishwasher hose does not loop up higher than the kitchen sink before going down to the bottom of the dishwasher water may flow downhill through the dishwasher drain into the dishwasher
ensure the dishwasher drain hose is screwed to the underside of the kitchen counter, to provide a stop to water flow.
The installation instructions suggest this
but often the dishwasher is at the end of its 'stretch'
and the installer assumes looping is just to use up excess hose, and doesnt.
an extension drain hose is available at most appliance stores

I just moved into a new house and builder had provided a dish washer drain just below my kitchen drain line.

DIsh washer install was done by me, every thing worked out OK except dish washer would not drain after a wash cycle.

Cause: drain provided by builder was blocked and needed a circular small cut before mounting drain hose over it.
