Possible Causes

Closed or partially closed water tap, Clogged inlet filter, Kinked inlet hose, Faulty Electrolux inlet valve coil

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water supply valve.

Verify tap: Ensure the water supply tap is fully open and that other fixtures have normal flow.
Inspect hose: Check the inlet hose for kinks or crushing behind the dishwasher. Straighten as needed.
Clean filter: Remove the hose at the dishwasher and clean the inlet valve mesh filter under running water.
Test valve: With power disconnected, measure resistance across the inlet valve coil. Replace the valve if open or out of specification.
