Possible Causes
Mechanically stuck water inlet valve, Debris in valve seat, Faulty control board not closing valve, Incorrect water pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately close the water tap and disconnect power to stop filling.
- Check inlet valve: Remove the inlet hose and inspect the valve filter for debris. If water continues to flow through the valve when disconnected from power, the valve is stuck open and must be replaced.
- Inspect for debris: Flush the inlet hose and valve area to remove any grit that could hold the valve open.
- Verify control signals: If the valve closes when power is removed but overfills during operation, the control board may be energizing the valve too long. This requires professional testing.
Do not leave the dishwasher connected to water until the inlet valve fault is corrected.
