Hello ddux97 - I understand your dishwasher has power but
will not fill with water. Here are a few simple troubleshooting tips that may
help you resolve this issue:
• Make sure water supply is turned on. (First
check for shut off valve under the kitchen sink).
• Check the house circuit breaker or fuse box,
reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
• Check inlet hose and make sure it's not twisted.
• Does float overfill protector (mushroom shaped
object in tub) move freely? This is located in the bottom left front corner of
the dishwasher.
• If this is a new install, then make sure the
unit is not pressed up against the cabinet and the fill tube is not squeezed
closed.
• Make sure the electrical wires going to the
water inlet valve have not come off. It is best to turn off power to the
dishwasher before reconnect wires, it doesn't matter which terminal is off both
need to be connected.
• Make sure the drain hose is installed correctly.
If the drain hose is routed under the floor as the dishwasher fills water can
be drawn from the tub and appear to have never filled.
• Some models of Frigidaire dishwashers use a
water pressure switch that will shut off the water valve if the tub over fills.
These models do not have floats.
I hope these troubleshooting tips help you in some small
way.
Testimonial: "Hello Chris Polk! I appreciate your advise, but your suggestions were not the right fix for my situation. I have watched a number of different videos and have checked the areas that you have recommended. Fyi, I just replaced the water inlet valve and both drain & circulation pumps and still no success. About the only thing that I have not replaced is the control circuit board or control panel. These (2) replacements are fairly costly and I only want to replace them if I have to. Any other recommendations are welcomed though! Thanks for your help! "
