If your dishwasher is not filling with water or filling with water while it is not in use then you should test the water inlet valve. This free video shows step by step instructions on how to test your dishwashers water inlet valve.
Other videos online show to test the water inlet valve by ohming the solenoid on the valve. This test is not very conclusive and it doesn't actually tell you if the valve is working properly. The testing process shown in this video is the only conclusive way to test the valve.
Items used to make test cord:

@@PartsDr replaced the sump/sprayer pump/diverter assembly. The diverter shaft seal was leaking down the shaft into the diverter motor and corroded it. Price wise, for those two (sump and diverter), it was not too far off to replacing the assembly and have a new sprayer pump too, so I did that.

This is a really cool video! As a plumber/gasfitter who diagnosed a bad water inlet valve on a friends dishwasher earlier (normally done by an appliance repair technician) i decided to check out some other ways to do it. This video was great. I like the test cord (i do it lots with furnaces and zone valves etc) and I really like the battery pack idea. In my scenario this evening, i checked voltage to the solenoid. It was 123 volts so i knew i was good there (used to checking line voltage when fixing furnaces and boilers etc) then i ohmed out the solenoid and it was in the mega ohm range. I really like this video as it was a safe way to test this valve. Very accurate as well. Great video! Cheers!

Good video, but there's an easier way to test the inlet valve without building a custom power supply (and it tests everything). Caveat: I'm just a homeowner but this worked for me. Turn the dishwasher on its side or front and remove the inlet valve from its mount. Leave the water supply hose connected and disconnect the valve outlet hose (from the valve into the dishwasher). With the dishwasher off, you'll see immediately if the valve is leaking. Place the valve so that the outlet nozzle squirts into a bucket or bowl. Restore power to the dishwasher and turn the dishwasher on (in a cleaning cycle) - almost immediately the valve should open and let water flow into the bucket; if it does then everything up to this point is working (the dishwasher control board, water supply and valve). Now just cancel the cycle (or turn off the water supply) before the bucket overflows. If no water flows then you can troubleshoot the valve, control board etc.
@condor5635
@condor5635 3 жыл бұрын
I’d say an easy way to test them is to measure the rate of water flow - disconnect it from dishwasher and divert flow into bucket. I have found that a new valve allows a 1.3 gallons per minute rate. Most GE washers are timed for a 1 minute opening of valve to fill the basin. This assumes a higher flow coming from the supply hose directly but this won’t change the 1.3 gal/min rate too much as long as the inlet valve is supplied with at least 2-3 gal/min from the hose

your video is excellent. I just installed a brand new g.e. the inlet valve is hammering away, causing water to splash in the cup and leak. I tested the signal and it shows constant voltage. my appliance supplier provided me a free replacement for me to install. the new one did the same thing. now, wtf? I gated the shutoff under the sink , probably open 25%, and it solved my problem. have you ever seen this? what are the chances of 2 bad valves in a row? the amount of restriction on the hot water feed now effects the brand new faucet on the sink. I'm perplexed. my customer is pretty pissed off to, but understanding of how weird this is. the ge people India don't know what is going on and my street pressure is spot on at 60 to 80

In my case the solenoid was h Good and valve was working properly but it had a slow/leak drip right at the plastic glue joint/seam, that eventually tripped the water overflow sensor in drip pan saving water damage to the floor area. The valve is made of plastic and I assume it had a small crack at 90degree angle and after the leak happened after 2years of use. This Resulted in the 'normal' light blinking rapidly on a display panel of the dishwasher. After systematically replacing the partsy dishwasher works again!

My water inlet valve opens anytime the door is shut, but it will stop/close when the float switch engages. I'm stumped. The switch and float are fine. And if the inlet valve was stuck in the open position, it would still fill when the switch engages and even if the washer is unplugged, but mine doesn't. Whatever tells it not to open after the cycle ends and drains or not to open before you select a cycle and push start, that's what's not working

@PartsDr
@PartsDr 6 жыл бұрын
Good question! Most dishwashers use a time based fill. This means the dishwasher only fills for a pre-set amount of time and the dishwasher does not know if it fills with enough water during this time. The float at the bottom of the dishwasher is usuaully just a saftey to stop the dishwasher from filling up with too much water and overflowing. Some newer dishwashers from Bosch and Samsung (and some other brands) use a flow meter or sensor to measure the amount of water filling into the dishwasher.

Not in most cases. If the noise is constant then it is usually a bad pump motor or some thing stuck in the pump. If the noise gets louder and quieter over and over then it could be a water inlet valve causing the dishwasher to not fill with enough water. When the dishwasher doesn't fill with enough water the circulation pump can start to surge and it will make an louder and quieter noise from the pump.

Why cut the wires to the inlet valve? Just disconnect the connector from the valve and apply power there.

That should work if you have larger spade terminals on the water valve. Some water valves have very small connections that do not allow that.

I pulled the dishwasher out and set it on blocks. So I could get under it and take a look. The wires at the back of the water valve looks to be a solenoid valve. I took the hose that carries the water to the dishwasher off. Turned the dishwasher on and got Nothing, no water. I took a screwdriver and tapped the solenoid valve. And I got bath, flooded the whole kitchen. I got it all put back together and put back into the kitchen. Tried to run another load and all it would do is hum. I think it is begging for water. So I am pretty sure this water valve is plugged up. Most likely because they put in a new subdivision up the road. When they did we were out of water for a day or so. When the water did come back on it was muddy took a few days before it became clear. My sink plugged up and had to be replaced. So I am guessing the dishwasher is the same. I was pretty sure this was the problem. I started fooling around with this POS because of a water leak. One thing just lead to another. Now that I can see under the dishwasher I have found No leaks.

It sounds like the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced.

It is a great video! My DW makes a grinding noise recently. It still cleans very well and drains very well. Just the noise is the issue. Yesterday, once I heard the noise, I immediately rushed over and opened the door. There were 47 minutes left on the clock. So roughly 50 minutes had passed. Inside DW, it was pretty warm and there was no water on top of the bottom screen. So I am totally at loss. Was the noise made by drain pump when it was to drain, or was it made by the inlet valve when it tried to open and let water in? Any one can help? The noise is not constant. DW only makes this noise two or three times during an 100 minutes wash cycle. Thanks for any help!

It is hard to say what is causing the noise based on your description. What is the model number of your dishwasher and how long does the noise last for when it occurs?

@mrweisu 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply. It is a 10-year old Bosch SHX45P05UC/60. A full washing cycle is about 100 minutes. The noise happens about twice and quite short, but it is pretty loud. That is why it bothers us.

Maybe check to see if it is coming from the detergent/rinse aid dispenser?

Hi,our dishwasher was working fine until we spilt some water down under it. We left it a few days and now it finally starts, it drains but then when it comes time for the water to come on nothing happens, do you think that the inlet is the problem?

It could be a bad control board that sends power to the water valve or the wiring between the parts could be bad.

Yeah, random parts replacement one part at a time 'till you accidentally hit the malfunctioning part is always cheap and efficient way to repair stuff. Hey, by the time you're done you'll have a whole new diswasher!

You are certainly free to do random parts replacement hoping to luckily find the malfunctioning part, but that can get time consuming and expensive. Better to test the parts first to learn which one is bad.
