My Dishwasher Isn’t Filling with Water: 5 Common Reasons

According to Statista, 58% of Canadian households have a dishwasher. Their popularity is constantly increasing since the unit washes the dishes more thoroughly and saves 33,5 liters per cycle. These benefits can be ruined by one of the most common problems when the dishwasher doesn’t fill with water. To fix this issue easily and continue your cleaning within the same day, read the article below.

5 reasons why my dishwasher is not filling with water

Water Supply. Make sure that the water supply is turned on and the valve is fully open. Otherwise, it will not fill your dishwasher with water.
Float Switch. The float switch is responsible for detecting the water level in the dishwasher during the cycle. If it is faulty, it will not allow more water to enter the unit. Make sure that the float switch is not stuck and check its efficiency with a multimeter. If it is still not working, replace the part.
Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve may be clogged with debris, preventing water from entering the dishwasher. Try cleaning the valve with a soft brush or replace it if it’s damaged.
Door Switch. If your dishwasher lid is not closed well enough, the door switch will block the work of the unit due to safety regulations. Check if it is not faulty with a multimeter. Otherwise, replace the door switch with a new one.
Drain Solenoid. The part is responsible for controlling the flow of water out of the dishwasher during the draining cycle. If faulty, it can trigger the float switch and result in not being able to fill the unit with enough water. Check the part with a multimeter to see if it works properly.

All of the reasons can be easily solved by professional technicians within the same day. If you want to receive high-quality repairs, save time and money, schedule a visit from Appliance Care experts.
