Our son was installing a new dishwasher yesterday and the insulation wouldn't allow it to fit into the original cabinet in his kitchen. I'm assuming this if for sound reduction, and will not cause any over heating problems, is that correct? After trying for about 55 minutes, he continuted the installation without it.

SOURCE: Dishwasher - no water coming into it

If there is no water coming in the machine check first the water supply has not a tap and this is closing.
If water is supplied regularly, then the problem is either with the inlet valve or the float switch.
See the following indications from repairclinic:

" Water-inlet valve
Float switch
Water-inlet valve The water-inlet valve lets water enter the machine. If this valve is defective, you need to completely replace it. It's usually located behind the lower access panel on the left or right side. It's the device with the main water line (usually copper) from the house, a rubber tube to the dishwasher, and two wires attached to it.

Float switch The float switch is a small electrical switch that's located right below the dishwasher "floor." Above the switch, on the inside of the dishwasher, is a plastic cylinder that floats up as water fills the dishwasher. If this switch is defective, or if the plastic float gets caught or trapped in the raised position, the water can't enter the dishwasher. If the float switch is defective, you need to replace it."
