Possible Causes

Water supply turned off, Kinked or frozen inlet hose, Failed water inlet valve, Faulty float switch stuck in full position

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.

  • Verify water supply: Confirm the shutoff valve under the sink is fully open and supply line is not frozen.
  • Inspect inlet hose: Check for kinks or crushing behind the dishwasher. Straighten or replace as needed.
  • Check float switch: Open the door and locate the float (usually a small dome or tower in the tub). Lift and drop it; it should move freely. Clean around it if stuck.
  • Test inlet valve: If the valve receives power but does not open, replace the water inlet valve.
