You could have a possible fill valve problem. Remove the lower kick plate in the front. The fill valve will be located somewhere near the front of the unit on the left hand side. With the circuit breaker turned off, and water supply line turned off, remove the water line to the fill valve and make sure there's nothing obstructing water flow. Sometimes if you use teflon tape you can get a piece of it covering the opening of the line. Or, if you have hard water, you can get corrosive mineral build ups blocking water flow. Carefully remove the electrical connection to the valve and check the connector tabs on the fill solenoid to make sure they aren't corroded. Reconnect everything and try to run the unit with the circuit breaker and water turned back on. I have experienced on a couple of occasion where merely removing the connector and plugging it back in corrected the problem. If the unit still does not fill, you can carefully check for voltage at the fill valve solenoid. You should be able able to get a reading with the plug connected and it should read 120vac. If no voltage is getting to the valve, you have a wiring problem between the valve and the timer. If you have the proper voltage, more than likely you have a bad fill valve. Good luck and I hope this helps you.

I've had the same problem, and the float valve seems to be the culprit, by simply jiggling the connections I could get it to fill, however this was never a long term solution. I think a broken float valve makes the washer think its already full of water, so the motor runs and it goes through the cycle, however it remains dry.

Dishwasher took 3 hours to complete cycle
If you have set the unit to heated water or your hot water is not hot will delay the wash cycle. The heater in the dishwasher is very slow!
The following is from the user manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid
the cost of a service call...
Dishwasher is not operating properly
Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle
Is the door closed tightly and latched?
Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the "Cycle Selection
Charts."
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse
blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor
automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not
restart, call for service.
Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?
Dishwasher will not fill
Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down
freely? Press down to release.
Dishwasher seems to run too long
Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The
dishwasher runs longer while heating water. Refer to the
"Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section.
A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles
until the water reaches the proper temperatur

Hope this helps?

DW5700P1 dishwasher must have stopped running last
A lot depends on at what point the dishwasher stopped working.

Have you tried to turn the mains power off and on again and then try one of the short cycles.

I would suggest if water is not draining, then empty with a small pan and check filter for blockages. Also good idea to check there is no blockage on the drain side.

A good site to check is

Dishwasher motor sounds like its struggeling to run. oR LIKE it's bogging down during washing cycles any and all cycles. there is water going into the washer but when washing it sounds like there is no...
Try pouring water from the front. The pump has got air traps inside. This will ease your problem.

Also check whether the spray arm turns freely without any obstacles.

Wash cycle doesn't seem to work. bottom has water
Your gonna have to pull the dishwasher out and shut off the water line. Then disconnect the water hose and get you a bucket. Then turn on the water line to see if water comes out. If water comes out strong then your water supply line is good, which means your inlet port on the dishwasher is clogged or hard water has clogged the little holes in the dishwasher arms. Dishwashers are meant to leave a little water remaining at the bottom to keep the sensor from burning up.

Soap stays in disperser. Water is 142 degrees, dispenser opens.Not overloaded and filter under bottom wand is clean. Model is 16342
Either:
  1. check if the bottom rack is inserted correctly. Try turning it 180 degrees and run the cycle. Make sure nothing obstructs the dispenser.
  2. the water does not get into the dishwasher open the dishwasher 3-4 times during cycle, if you don't see any water at least once - check water valve, water level float and water pressure.
  3. the pump is clogged - there is water, the motor will run but no water is circulated. Check pump filters, check chopper and impeller.
  4. motor in main pump is not working - could be caused by something stuck on the impeller or chopper or could be a problem with the motor itself or control board. Check if line voltage is coming to the motor during wash/rinse cycle.
Good luck,

Have model PLDB999AC0 water is not coming on
Is the supply turned on and power applied to the dishwasher? Make sure you've turned the angle stop to open the lines and supply the dishwasher with water. If this is a new problem and it had previously been working alright, then you're looking into a problem with the timer or motor. The motor contains a solenoid that activates a gate to allow water to flow into the dishwasher basin. Remove the kick plate and watch the motor as you allow the dishwasher to run it's cycle. You'll see it go up and down and probably hear a loud hollow sonnd when it activates. Also, make sure the motor is running, and if it's bound, try using a screwdriver to jump start the motor. If it starts up, this sometimes fixes the problem, but it may just put off the inevitable replacement.

GE Dishwasher not working...
Sounds like you have a one of four possible issues. More info to diagnose would be helpful. (age, which mid cycle) If the motor runs when you turn the timer dial than it is a belt/motor pump issue. If the motor does not run than a bad motor start switch or the water level switch. More than likely the motor/pump assembly as this is usually the problem on these models. If newer check with whirlpool the manufacturer to see if it is covered by warranty.
