Help! My dishwasher is not filling! I know it could be the inlet hose filter, float or float switch, but don't know where to locate everything. Does anyone know where I can get a service manual or diagram? Have been searching and searching to no avail! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
SOURCE: Dishwasher does not stop filling and already replaced float switch...PLEASE HELP
Harry, the float and float switch are only safety devices to cut the power to the valve in the event the control board fails. The fill is controlled by the board. It sounds to me like it may be the valve itself. You can verify this by taking a meter and checking the voltage during the fill cycle. If the voltage drops out and it's still filling, it's your valve. If the voltage stays constant until the float switch kills it, it's your board...Catriver...post back.

Hallo Champer, 1)Be sure water supply is arriving with enough pressure. 2)If the hose between the crane and dishwasher has an aqua-stop ( or water-stop) which you recognize at the hose being enlarged twice the size close to the crane, possibly water supply can be blocked there. You can change it temporarily with a regular hose ( for garden or car-wash ...). If dishwasher is doing the job buy a new hose with Aqua-stop in a regular electro- household appliances shop. 3) If this solution is not the good one, you might check in fact to the inlet valve, which you find at the other side of the metal plate where the watersupply is flooding inside the diswasher. Generally a white coloured threaded plastic pipe. Unplug your dishwasher, close water supply (!) and disconnect the water hose. Open the dishwasher ( either top-plate and/or back-panel). Now you see the inlet-valve ; unscrew this one and mark the position of the 2 electrical wires, which you also unplug then. Also unplug the internal water drain, and ask again a regular shop (see 2) if they can check this valve and if necessary get a spare part. Oeffti, hopefully this helps else let know.

Dana, on some of these GE's the power to the fill valve goes through the push button assy. WD21X10110. I have had a couple like this. Doing this from memory but contacts 1&3 need to be closed on that switch. As long as the tech verified power out of the timer, have him check the push button assy. Catriver..post back.
SOURCE: how to adjust the float
you need to clean the sump remove all the filters etc and clean them this is a common fault and may not be a quick fix.

Chris;
The float you speak of is located behind the left side panel. (be careful if you remove the panel, the back edge is real sharp,.... I left a pint of blood at one house !) Water enters the dishwasher fill assembly and turns a paddle wheel, which allows the control to count the revolutions, determining the amount of water filling into the dishwasher. The float is inside a chamber in front of (and attached to) that water guide and it has two micro switches at the top of the float chamber. If I recall correctly, the float is only for overfill protection, as the paddle wheel determines water amount. You should check the screen at the water valve to make sure nothing is obstructing inlet valve water flow. Also, make sure you are not using a "flood safe" inlet hose, which are designed to shut off water if a hose breaks (but can cause water supply issues). You may have a bad control board or wiring connection. On a new unit I would suggest calling for warranty service.
Please don't rate this solution, as anything but a FixYa will lower my score.
Thanks, Carl.
