ZWD14581si will not fill with water, has been working fine for 18 months and hoses are ok. Any ideas welcome.

Hi,

Does the circulating pump- pump water? Remove the hose that goes to the spreader bar and run the unit again, if it moves water as a new pump should check for blockages in that hose and spreader tube. Get back to me if this doesn't work please. Personal email address [email protected]...

That car is over heating! Things to check #1Fan does it run #2thermostat change it #3 water pump pull the top rad hose to see if the pump is pushing water #4 last but worst flush the rad check to see that ther is good flow through it may be nessasary to change it. I'm sure one of these will sove your problem.

My Bosch dishwasher had the same problem. After checking the over flow pan I removed the inlet hose to check water flow. There was none. I checked my cut off valve...open...I had water at the kitchen facet...scratch my head...I looked closer at the Bosch supplied braided water hose. It is directional (label indicating which end to hook to supply)....closer inspection reveals maybe there is a back flow valve in that side of the braided hose. Disconnect, blow air through...air passes freely...reconnect and bingo water flow at the dishwasher. In line back flow valve...can you imagine what a repair man would have charged for that?

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

The problem is with the water inlet valve that needs replacement. You can also test the valve before replacement, if the valve tests fine then the float switch located at the bottom of the unit needs to be tested and if bad it is recommended to replace it. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

The most common problem when a dishwasher is not filling with water is a failed water inlet valve. It is a solenoid valve that sits directly behind where the hot water hose connects to the dishwasher.
Please post back if you need more assistance. Good Luck!

there are 2 possible causes.
either
inlet valve leaking - turn water off and if water fill stops, it indicates valve leaking
valve being powered when machine off. this is very unlikely but to check, disconnect washer and see if problem stops
also, if drain is plumbed into a spigot on the sink trap, every time you empty the sink, some of the water will flow into the machine. to cure this, take the drain hose as high as possible under the sink in a swan neck

Hello dagreen,
Welcome to fixya.
I'm Huuum and happy to assist you,

You said,
Last night you filled the washer with a comforter and pillow cases! It was working fine and then you lifted the lid. Now it wont start back. Any ideas. It is full of water and had already started agitating.

Check the breaker
Could the power be out due to an electrical storm while you were sleeping.
If not!

Try pulling the plug out for 5 minutes or turning the breaker off if you can't reach the plug.
Then try to start. this should have reset the system.


Some Questions to check
• Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose
more than 96 in. (244 cm) above the floor? See the
Installation Instructions for proper installation of drain hose.
• Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation.
Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.
• Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent.
Follow manufactures directions. If you have very soft water,
you might need to use less detergent.

let me know how you do and that it works.
Huuum
please remember to leave a rating when your finished.

unplug it for an hour this normally fixes this problem on my machine

Hurlewan Your washer is still under manufacturer's warranty which is one full year. If it has Kenmore's name on it you do not need proof of purchase. The only thing you need is your mother-in-law's home phone number at time of purchase because Sears keeps all their records based on phone numbers. Good luck, Gendos post back....
