Dishwasher starts its cycle but no water enters the tub — the valve solenoid has failed open or is blocked by mineral deposits.
Dishwasher fills with only a small amount of water, causing poor wash results especially on the upper rack.
Water slowly trickles into the dishwasher tub when the unit is not running, indicating the valve diaphragm is not sealing properly.
Visible water leak around the valve body or hose connection at the base of the dishwasher behind the toe kick panel.
Loud humming or buzzing noise during fill cycle when the solenoid is energized but water flow is restricted or blocked.
Tub overfills due to a valve that fails to close at the correct water level signal from the control board.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failing Water Inlet Valve
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher runs but no water enters the tub — you hear humming but the cycle stays dry
⚠️ Insufficient water fill leading to poor cleaning results, especially on the upper rack
⚠️ Dishwasher slowly fills with water while powered OFF — indicating the valve is not sealing
⚠️ Visible water leaking from the lower toe-kick area around the valve body or hose connection
🛠 Tech Tip: Use a multimeter set to Ohms and probe the valve solenoid terminals. A healthy water inlet valve reads approximately 1,000 ohms resistance. An open (infinite) reading confirms valve failure — replace immediately.
