The solenoid coil inside the inlet valve has burned out or the valve body is stuck closed, preventing any water from entering the tub. Replacing the valve restores normal fill cycles.
Mineral deposits clog the internal screen or restrict the valve orifice, causing low water volume and poor wash performance. A new valve eliminates the blockage.
A failed valve that cannot close properly allows water to flow continuously, triggering H2O or flood error codes and leaving standing water on the floor.
A worn valve seat allows water to drip into the tub when the dishwasher is not running, causing puddles at the bottom or water damage beneath the unit.
Insufficient water entering the dishwasher due to a failing valve means detergent doesn't dissolve properly and spray arms can't generate enough pressure to clean dishes.





💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Inlet Valve Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher won't fill with water or fills very slowly
⚠️ Dishwasher overfills and triggers "H2O" or flood error codes
⚠️ Water drips or puddles appear at the bottom when the machine is off
⚠️ Dishes come out dirty because cycle stops mid-wash due to insufficient water
Quick test: Open the door during a fill cycle. If water is dripping in or the tub stays dry, the inlet valve solenoid has likely failed electrically. Use a multimeter to check coil resistance — a faulty coil will read open (∞ ohms) instead of the normal ~200–500 Ω range. Also inspect the filter screen inside the valve inlet for mineral buildup that can restrict flow.
