Hello there
Specific symptoms include: Little or no
water enters the tub . To find the cause, first
check to be sure the
water is ON.
always “zero” the
ohmmeter before making any
continuity checks on
dishwasher components. .
When making
continuity checks with the
volt/
ohmmeter, always turn the
electricity OFF at the
circuit breaker panel. Live voltage checks will damage the meter movement.With the
water ON,
remove the lower panel. Place a towel or shallow
container on floor to absorb
water. Loosen the nut that secures the
dishwasher water tubing to the
inlet port of the
water inlet valve. If
water collects immediately in the towel or
container, it can safely be assumed that the
water pressure is adequate and the plumbing system is not clogged . If little or no
water collects in the
container, the
water line gate
valve could be
defective or there is a problem in the plumbing system.
Turn the
water OFF.
Remove the lower panel. Loosen and
remove nut that attaches
water tubing to
water inlet valve inlet port. With
tubing removed,
check for
corrosion and debris that has accumulated
inside the tubing and
inlet valve inlet port.
. Turn the
water supply ON. Select a cycle on the
timer dial where the
dishwasher starts to fill with
water. If it starts to fill with
water — you fixed it. The problem was
corrosion inside the
water tubing or
inlet valve water inlet port. If the
dishwasher still does not fill with
water, an additional electrical
check will have to be made.Next,
test for electrical power to the
water inlet valve from the
dishwasher timer assembly.
Using the volt/
ohmmeter, set the meter on the 150-
volt scale and attach the two
test leads of the
volt/
ohmmeter to the two
terminals of the
water inlet valve solenoid coil to be checked. Turn the
water ON. With the
test leads attached to the solenoid
terminals, select a cycle on the
dishwasher timer dial where the
dishwasher starts to fill with
water. Push in or pull out the
timer dial. You should get a voltage
reading of 110-125 volts A/C on the
volt/
ohmmeter scale. If you get a
reading, this would indicate that
electricity is available from the
dishwasher timer assembly to the
water inlet valve.However, the absence of
water flow means the
water inlet valve is
defective

Did you ever figure out what the problem was??
