There is a float in the dishwasher that sometimes gets stuck and when that happens, the washer will not fill. Look for a (mostly round) upright part that will be in the front of the washer either on the left or right side. That is the float and it could be stuck in the cutoff position (caused by the soap). The older models have it on the same side where the soap is placed. The newer models have it on the opposite side to stop that exact problem. MOve it up and down and clean out any dried caked soap that might be under it.
Check the levelness of the dishwash. Is it level.
Check the seal around the contact surface of the door and the washer opening. Are there any cuts or gaps?
water coming out of horizontal holes is not enough to rotate arms remove them and check the outermost holes these are angled so they rotate the arms they will be blocked even though all the others are clear.
Before we jump to conclusions, you can try to clear element that discharges the water. The wholes in these units can become clog do to the detergent as well as food. Most Bosch units allow you to unscrew these pretty easily. Blow through them, or use a plastic tooth pick to clear any obstructions or both. Before you reattach, turn on dishwasher and listen to hear how much water is shooting out at the discharge points. Most Bosch have two discharge points one for the top and of course one for the bottom. Reattach units and Run dishwasher.
Should this fail it could very well be the circulating pump.
Hi,
I've had a look at the Whirlpool site for detailed information for you, but they seem to want you to buy a pump assembly complete. Not very helpful.
If you type your exact model number they may come up with a spares kit -

There is usually a slight gap in this mincer arrangement. It could be that the "strainer" has become detatched from it's intended fixed position. If this is the case. Try heat from a soldering iron to bond it to it's fixing, or an epoxy adhesive as a last resort before purchase of a new pump assembly.
If there is room for a small spring on the output shaft, this may also keep it at the correct distance.
Sorry I could not identify the exact part for you.
find out first from boschwhats covered and whats not. i think bosch has a 2year iw on electrionics, and some models has a recall, go to thermador .com and you will be able toget the # to bosch which is the same company and give them your model # and serial # they will tell you whats is covered and whats not.
you may have a bad water soleniod. there is also a mesh on the solenoid. go here to identify
if you have your model number and make you can go here to identify it www.techray1.com then click on the guru guy on the left. this will open another window. on the left you can select your model and unit and part. If this helps please rank me
The inlet valve will be at the dishwasher end of the (hot) water inlet line. On this dishwasher I ~believe~ the inlet valve is near the rear of the unit. That means that you will need to pull the dishwasher out to get to it. Remove power from the dishwasher as soon as you can before messing with the unit.
Just past the connection of the supply hose and the connection on the dishwasher, there will be the valve (a solenoid valve with two wires coming out of it.) That is the little beast that has most likely failed.
Good Luck!
