It use to fill for about one to two minutes and the water came up to the heating element before it shut off and started the wash cycle. Now it only fills for about 20 seconds and you cant see any water in the tub. It starts the wash cycle immediately after the 20 second fill.
I'm thinking something went bad in the control board.
It does sound like a circuit board problem but lets not rush out and pay an exorbitant service fee yet...I checked the user manual and this model does have a timer also...so often timer go out and many people think the problem lies elsewhere...but when a timer goes out or a couple of teeth no longer engage then you could have any number of problems...I doubt the solenoid is bad or it would not initiate at all to begin with,,,,,so here is a little test......turn the DW on and cycle the timer to where it starts the water solenoid....watch the timer to see that it turns and disengages. the solenoid...How quick was it? (if under your accustomed 2 mins... problem with timer). Another test is to do the same and hold the timer tightly preventing it from turning and see if you can force the fill valve to stay open longer (if so...bad timer).
I hope this helps...please rate me....The Fang
