Answer 1

Its probably the water input solenoid  http://www.repairclinic.com/0047_9.asp

Answer 2

Most commonly when this happens something had fallen out of the racks and is now lodged under the float in the tub.

If the float is being held in the up position it thinks the DW is full and won't allow water in.

Answer 3

Look under the sink for a ball valve that is valved off to isolate the dishwasher or a clogged strainer in the water line at the dishwasher.If that doesn't work you will have to dig deeper inside the dishwasher for the problem.Don't make it harder than it is though.Logically trace where you are losing the water flow and think it through.Good Luck.

Answer 4

First check and see if the water supply to the machine is turned on. There should be a lever or tap under your sink. If it is on and it still won't fill, get the person that installed it to come back and fix it.

Answer 5

turn the  water on , Is the power on. .If that fails get  service man to check it out.
