My dishwasher is sick it won't take in water.?

Question

it's an older Kenmore, energy saver, model and when I hook it to the tap not hot or cold water will go in to the hoses or washer. The hoses and plug are in the back of the machine. The hoses slip down into slots on the left side. This is all hidden by a cover a little higher than the surface. On the door all there is is a latch thing to lock and open it, the dish for detergent and the round thing for the jet liquid. They all worked fine last time the machine ran. The top is a dark wood-like laminate scratch proof surface. Any one own such a beast and can help me? Or encountered the same problem?

Answer 1

Try going to www.repairclinic.com for some help troubleshooting your problem.  They will also sell you parts if you want, so you can make a decision whether to repair or replace before spending any money.

Answer 2

Bite the bullet...replace it. Key word here is "older". It's either a kinked hose or a bad soliniod valve. Compare the repair cost against the cost of a new one...if money's not a problem, replace it.
