To access the inlet valve remove
the lower panel located beneath the door. The panel is usually
held in place with two screws either above or below the panel.
It may be necessary to first open the door to the dishwasher to
reach the screws over the panel, then close the door to remove
the panel.
Before testing the inlet valve, unplug
the dishwasher or shut off the power at the fuse
box or breaker
panel to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
The water inlet valve can be identified
by the water hoses connected to it. One hose will lead from the
valve to the pump/motor assembly in the center of the dishwasher.
Check that the hoses are securely connected to the valve and that
there are no kinks in the hoses which could restrict water flow.
