Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Insufficient water entering the dishwasher
• Dishwasher does not fill with water
• Water inlet area leaks
• High-pitched or whining noise during filling
• Poor cleaning caused by inadequate fill

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the household water supply valve is fully open.
• Inspect the dishwasher inlet hose for kinks or restriction.
• With power disconnected and the water supply shut off, inspect the valve, hose connections, and inlet area for visible leaks or damage.
• Check the valve’s inlet screen for visible debris without damaging or disassembling the valve.
• If electrical testing is appropriate for the appliance’s service documentation, follow the model-specific procedure; do not assume a valve fault from a fill symptom alone.
