Dishwasher starts a cycle but no water enters the tub — the inlet valve solenoid has failed open or the valve body is blocked with mineral scale.
Water keeps running into the tub even when the cycle ends or the door is open, indicating a stuck-open solenoid that can no longer shut off water flow.
Cracks or deteriorated seals in the valve body allow water to drip from the lower front area of the dishwasher, often pooling on the floor.
A worn or partially-blocked inlet valve restricts water flow, causing a loud whistling or squealing sound during the fill phase of the wash cycle.
Insufficient water entering the dishwasher due to a weak valve leads to dishes coming out dirty, detergent not dissolving properly, or cycles running longer than normal.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Water Inlet Valve the Culprit?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher will not fill with water at the start of a cycle
⚠️ Dishwasher overfills or fills continuously and won't stop
⚠️ Visible water leaking from the lower-front area of the appliance
⚠️ High-pitched whistling or squealing noise during the fill phase
🔍 Diagnosis Tip: Shut off the water supply and unplug the dishwasher. Pull the lower front access panel and locate the valve on the left-rear corner. Inspect for cracks, mineral deposits, or a stuck solenoid. Use a multimeter set to Rx100 — a reading between 200–500 Ω confirms a good solenoid coil; an open or shorted reading means replacement is needed. Always confirm part compatibility with your full model number before ordering.
