The inlet valve solenoid has failed open or closed, preventing water from entering the tub at the start of the wash cycle.
A cracked valve body or degraded inlet seal allows water to drip onto the floor beneath the dishwasher during operation.
Restricted water flow through a clogged or partially failed valve results in insufficient water reaching the spray arms, leaving dishes dirty.
If the control board detects no water intake signal from the valve, it may halt the cycle and trigger a water supply error code (e.g., 4C/4E).
💡 Pro Tip: How to Tell Your Water Inlet Valve Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher tub does not fill with water at the start of a cycle
⚠️ Dishes come out dirty — insufficient water reaching spray arms
⚠️ Water leaking onto the floor from beneath the dishwasher
⚠️ Cycle runs but dishwasher drains without ever washing (no water intake)
Diagnostic tip: With power off, remove the lower access panel and inspect the inlet valve for mineral deposits or cracks. Then use a multimeter set to resistance mode — a healthy solenoid coil typically reads 200–500 Ω. An open circuit (OL) reading confirms the valve coil has failed and the valve must be replaced.
