For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Try holding down the drain button for about 5 seconds.

If that still does not do it for you, try taking power from the machine to let it reset itself, easiest is to unplug the unit or flip the breaker switch for the section of the kitchen. Leave it off for at least 30 seconds to let the machine reset the computer.

If that still does not do it, then you may have something that's clogged into the drain line of the dishwasher and it needs to be removed before the drain can open or close. Service would be required for it.

If the model number is correct, press and hold the "NO HEAT DRY" button for 4 seconds to lock or unlock the controls.

SOURCE: dish washer doesn't fill up

Hello,

Their are a few things that will prevent it from filling

1. The float in the tub has something caught under it..pull out lower rack and check
2. The float switch is bad...pull off kick plate below door and use a meter set to a low ohms setting and when checking switch if good will be zero ohms. OL if bad
3. the control is bad and not sending power to float switch..use meter set to volts ac check for 120 volts ac to switch. to do that place one meter lead on a wire on float switch and on the a metal peice (leg,frame ect) and check for 120 vac, if 120 vac at switch the control is good if not replace control, this check must be done when d/w is supposed to fill( usually at the begining of a cycle)
4. water valve.. use meter set check vac and check for 120 vac to plug(one meter lead on each wire) when supposed to fill, if 120 vac,needs inlet water valve
5. water from house plumbing is restricted...loosen supply line nut and check for incoming water
