When the dishwasher has completed and has been turned off, very slowly water from the supply line continues to enter the dishwasher. After about 4 to 5 hours if I open the door water will come out. I've turned off the water shut off value and this has stopped the problem. Could this be that the dishwasher inlet value is not closing properly? Can this be repaired? Thanks.
Sounds like you already know how to fix it. The inlet valve is only held closed by water pressure...if you have low water pressure it could be causing this. Its more likely just a bad fill valve though. The water inlet valve is accessed by removinf the lower kickplate and the sheild behind that. Then all you have to do is remove the water line from the valve, remove the 2 screws holding it and pull it out far enough to disconnect the 2(possibly 3) wires and the fill hose. Make sure to mark where your wires go, if you hook it up wrong it could continue to fill and overflow. Hope this helps!
