I have an Equator dishwasher (Model SB72) that will not fill
with water. I first noticed something was wrong when water started leaking out
the bottom of the unit. I removed the right side cover panel and found
that soon after a cycle began the water entered the air break unit, and then
the levelling unit. I am not dishwasher savy; I only know these terms
because I was able to locate the Service Parts catalog. Once the water
enters the leveling unit it begins to spill out from the top of the unit and
into the basin below, and eventually onto the floor. Any advice on what
might be the problem? The only thing I see that could be causing a
problem is a lot of deposit-like material in the clear plastic air break unit.

A dishwasher that won't fill can have a few sources as the problem:
1) Check for low water pressure at the tap. It could be a city water problem. This is usually temporary.
2) The water that fills your dishwasher is controlled by a float, much like the float in a toilet. As the water rises, so does the float, eventually causing the float switch to shut the water off.
The float could be stuck or its movement impeded. Remove bottom rack of diswasher and then the cover of the float assembly. Verify it moves freely.
3) You will need a multimeter to check the float switch itself, which is accessed by removing the service panel that is below the door. The switch is just below the float assembly and is held in place by a few screws or possibly a clip. Turn off power to washer, disconnect switch from the float assembly and replace, if needed.
4) There could be an obstruction in the water-inlet hose at the inlet valve. Remove the dishwasher from its cubby hole by removing remove the service panel, then unscrewing the dishwasher from the countertop. Disconnect the water inlet hose and check for any sediment buildup.
5) There could be a problem with the fill valve, drain valve or drain solenoid. Call in a pro for this.

I think some part of yours dishhwasher has problem .i think water container has problem so if possible call to ur customer care of urs company.
Try checking for anything that might be obstructing the filters and try to check on kinked or wring tubings. Look for a switch or say knob on the leveling unit as well. keep me posted
Hi,
If there's no water entering your dishwasher, check these:
Water-inlet valve
Float switch
Water-inlet valve
The
water-inlet valve lets water enter the machine. If this valve is
defective, you need to completely replace it. It's usually located
behind the lower access panel on the left or right side. It's the
device with the main water line (usually copper) from the house, a
rubber tube to the dishwasher, and two wires attached to it.
Float switch
The
float switch is a small electrical switch that's located right below
the dishwasher "floor." Above the switch, on the inside of the
dishwasher, is a plastic cylinder that floats up as water fills the
dishwasher. If this switch is defective, or if the plastic float gets
caught or trapped in the raised position, the water can't enter the
dishwasher. If the float switch is defective, you need to replace it.
Hi
If you
are noticing that the dishes are not clean, then there are a few things to
check for. Check the soap powder if it's kept in a dry environment. Also try
replacing the powder with something like a gel or liquid. Next thing to check
for is the water pressure and fill valve. Check if the water is filling in and
the spray arms are throwing the water with enough pressure. Try and listen to
the sound if you hear a proper spraying action sound.
If it
seems as a low water pressure then check the fill valve. Now, check if
dishwasher is draining the water or not. While the dishwasher is working check
whether the dishwasher is draining and there is not much left out water after
the cycle is complete. Try cleaning the spray arm with a soft brush. The water
temperature plays a major role in cleaning of dishes. The temp should be
between 125 and 150 F for dishwasher to clean the dishes. Hope this helps...

Make sure the dishwasher is level. If the water is leaking from the door, you should replace the door gasket.

How do you know if the water inlet valve is defective, and is this the same as the electrovalve? The spare parts catalog does not mention a "water inlet valve". In the Service Manual it says that if there is a sudden rise of water in the compression chamber that the circuit from the compression chamber to the the ballcock is blocked. In this instance, I should check the ballcock and clean it. Is the compression chamber (again, not listed in the catalog) the same thing as the air break unit or the leveling unit?
