Why is no water going into my dishwasher?

Dishwasher not getting water

One of the most frustrating issues your dishwasher can face is not filling up with water. How can you wash your dishes if the machine isn’t getting water? That’s why you’re going to want to get this issue fixed quickly.

Causes:

• Float: the float rises while the dishwasher fills, and when it reaches a certain point it triggers sensors that stop the water. If the float has gotten stuck in the shut-off position, this will prevent water from entering the dishwasher.
• Dirty valve screens: water passes through inlet valves in order to enter into the dishwasher. These inlet valves have screen filters, and if water is not getting through it could be that these screens are clogged with dirt and debris.
• Water supply line: sometimes the problem isn’t even with the dishwasher itself; it can be with the water supply line. The water supply line could be kinked or damaged. Luckily, if the hose is kinked, you can solve the problem just by straightening it! If the hose is damaged you will have to replace it.
• Door indicator: if there is a problem with the door indicator, the appliance won’t be able to tell if the door is closed properly. The dishwasher will not fill with water unless the door is properly closed.
