Water line is good, control panel is good. when i do the test, it drains... problem: When starting the Wash cycle, water is not coming inside the washer... NO WATER.
If you knwo the water line to be good, take off the toe kick plate below and find the inlet valve. It will have a connection with 2 wires on it. Pull the connection off and put a volt meter on it. Start a new cycle, and within a minute or 2 you should start reading 120 volts (or close to that) if you get voltage from the 2 wires, you have a bad or plugged fill valve. If you dont then you have bad wiring in the dishwasher, water lying in the bottom of the dishwasher, or a bad control board. Hope this helps!

It is
possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors
due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program
controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN
pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from
the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the
water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the
voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no
voltage from the controller. This means
the controller is a suspect.
If the
water flows though the inlet then the flow pressure should be good, if not the
inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the
inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL
SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level
to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is
most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must
be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for
rinse and wash.

Check this
link to replace the inlet valve:
Finally
after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come
in to rinse and then finally the dry spin with the drain valve/pump activated
so as to drain off all the water from the clothes during the spin.
Make
sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so
check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it
the valve or motor or pump

Now since the washer worked for 45 mintues it is possible that when the unit was removed some connector had come loose on the controller . so please check on the panel , check on the control panel and the wiring before a decision can be confirmed.
