DISHWASHER WONT FILL WITH WATER

MY DISHWASHER WILL NOT FILL WITH WATER, I HAVE CHECKED FOR ANY BLOCKS AND ALL SEEMS FINE, I HAVE JUST LOOKED UNDER IT AND FOUND A SMALL LEEK IN THE WASTE PIPE JUST AS IT LEAVES THE MACHINE BUT WHEN I FILLED IT MANUALLY IN DRAINED OK COULD THIS BE MY PROBLEM. IT MAKES ALL THE CORRECT NOISES AND SEEMS TO BE ALL WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE LACK OF WATER. IS THERE ANY THING I CAN DO...

    My dishwater begins to fill with water, but won't pump it up into the wash arms. It seems it doesn't have enough pressure. Please let me know what I can look for. Thank you!

    same problem no water in

  • macmandy69 Nov 13, 2008

    Exactly the same problem.

    To get it working for one cycle only i have to pull the machine out, turn off the water supply to it, disconnect the inlet hose, connect it again, turn on the water supply, then it works, but only for the one cycle.

    To use again i have to repeat the process!!

    Very frustrating considering it is not very old.

I don't think that the problem is relates to the leaking water. Check first the filters on the inlet water line (both sides). Then, if problem still exist - check that the inlet water valve works(it is an electromagnet valve, located at the pipe's entrance to the machine)). If it doesn't work, test that it get power. In case it get power and doesn't work - You can easily open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace it for a new one. Good luck

The valve has two control functions.

The basic control is does it get 120 and is the valve working, both mechanically and electrically. A resistance test will tell if the solenoid is operational. a voltage test during the fill cycle will tell whether it is getting 120.

If it is not getting 120, check the float control switch. this is a micro switch that shuts the valve off when there is enough water in the machine. It is just in front of the valve and has a "teeter toter" actuator connected to the float. On mine the metal tab on it had been bent over by a previous repair person, thus placing it in the off position. this could also be a defective micro switch of a stick float actuator that prevents the valve from coming on.

I have smeg built in dishwasher. Acts like running cycle but i don't think it's getting enough water. the soap tables are not dissoved. before if opened door during cycle lots of water but now none
Check water inlet filter, check for blockage at the stop valve .

The rubber washer does come loose and blocks/limits the flow into the dishwasher. The fill cycle is on a timer and any restrictions in the water connection will under-fill the unit.
Hope this helps?

Should still be under warranty. Contact retailer. Don't try doing anything else to it in case you void the warranty.

you only need prime to pump water out if you are not getting water to D/W it is most likely the water control valve

Miele Dishwasher G 2630 SCi fails to fill.
Debris is jammed in the valve for water ejection. It's jammed slightly open. This happened to me and it was a very small piece of plastic from the lip of a tupperware bowl.

Dishwasher wan't fill with water
The water valve may look fine but the solenoid may not be opening to allow water in. You said that everything else works fine except no water supply to the dishwasher. This sounds like a bad soleniod valve. Check for continuity on the valve with an ohms meter after you start it. Be careful.

GE Natulus will not fill with water
Had the same problem with ours today. That's why I got on here. My dad used a gallon jug to prime it with a gallon of hot tap water. We primed it to get it pumping, and now it is working fine. Just pour the hot water into the dishwasher and start it.

Indesit D41 dishwasher problem
you need to check the inlet walve . when you start the unit you say it drains. so after the drain do you hear the water entering the dishwasher? If you hear a sound like a buzzing noise that would be the inlet valve working. if thats the case there is a clog at the screen in the valve not allowing the water or enough water in the tub. seeing that this is a portable unit you will also want to check to make sure the fill hose is not kinked up anywhere in the cabinet or under neath the dishwasher. If you hear no buzzing noise you need to check the inlet valve with a meter to first make sure your getting power to it and that the valve itself if good. check these things out and let me know what you found and we can go from there
