Water inlet valve fails to open, leaving the tub dry at the start of the cycle so the dishwasher runs without water.
Faulty solenoid stays open and allows water to continuously enter the tub, causing overflow and potential water damage.
Worn valve seat allows water to seep slowly into the tub overnight even when the dishwasher is not running.
Partially clogged or weak valve delivers too little water, resulting in dirty dishes and incomplete wash cycles.
A malfunctioning inlet valve can disrupt cycle timing, contributing to poor draining and standing water in the tub.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Tell If Your Water Inlet Valve Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher fills for only a few seconds then attempts to start washing with insufficient water
⚠️ Dishwasher continues to fill above the heating element or overfills when the door is closed
⚠️ Water slowly leaks into the tub overnight even when the dishwasher is off
⚠️ Dishwasher will not fill at all — tub is dry at the start of the cycle
🔍 Diagnostic tip: Set your multimeter to Ohms × 1. Touch the probes to each pair of solenoid terminals. A reading of infinity (OL) means the solenoid coil is open-circuit and the valve must be replaced. Do NOT attempt to clean a clogged valve — cleaning can cause it to fail sooner.
