Possible Causes

Partially closed water supply valve, Clogged inlet valve screen, Failed water inlet valve coil, Flow meter or turbine sensor fault (on some models)

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply before servicing the fill system.

Verify water supply: Ensure the under-sink shutoff valve is fully open and that household water pressure is adequate.
Clean inlet screen: Disconnect the inlet hose at the dishwasher valve and clean the screen of sediment.
Inspect for leaks: Check the inlet hose and valve body for signs of leakage or cracking.
Replace valve or flow sensor: If the valve coil tests open or the flow meter is not sending pulses to the control, replace the faulty component.
