Hoover No Water Fill

Dishwasher does not fill with water; you hear a humming or clicking but no water enters.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Closed water tap, Blocked inlet filter, Kinked inlet hose, Defective inlet valve coil

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

Verify tap is open: Ensure the dishwasher's supply tap is fully open.
Check hose and filter: Remove the inlet hose from both ends. Straighten any kinks and clean the mesh filters at the tap and valve.
Test valve coil: With a multimeter, measure resistance across the inlet valve terminals. Replace the water inlet valve if the coil is open or shorted.
Check for debris: Inspect the valve inlet for grit or scale and clean carefully.
