Dishwasher does not fill with water

Dishwasher owners may encounter various problems during operation. One of the breakdowns is the lack of water supply. The equipment cannot perform its functions efficiently. Therefore, you should find out how you can fix the breakdown and understand what caused it.

Checking the correct operation of a dishwasher that does not receive water

Often, breakdowns occur due to neglect of the manufacturer’s recommendations and rules for using the device. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you did everything correctly. First, it is recommended to check the presence of water in the tap. One riser is used. Therefore, if there is no water in the tap, then the equipment will not be able to draw liquid. Problems with the water supply can cause temporary malfunctions of the dishwasher.

Be sure to check whether high-quality and correct detergent is used. This can cause serious problems over time. Therefore, you should use only recommended cleaning products.

Make sure the water supply valve is open. It is located at the junction of the hose and the plumbing system. If it is blocked, then liquid collection will not occur.

Possible malfunctions due to which water does not flow into the dishwasher

If the matter is not inattention and lack of liquid in the water supply, then you should familiarize yourself with the malfunctions that most often lead to this problem:

1. The flow filter or the entire system is clogged.
2. The fill valve broke, blocking the water supply.
3. Door mechanism malfunction.
4. Pressostat failure.
5. Triggering of the Aquastop system.
6. Damage to the control unit element.

Troubleshooting the water supply to the dishwasher system

Many problems can be fixed with your own hands. It is necessary to carry out diagnostics to find out the cause of the failure. Then you need to do some manipulations to correct the situation.

Important! If you cannot fix the dishwasher with your own hands or you are not confident in your own abilities, you should contact a specialist. Otherwise, the situation may get worse.

If the flow hose is clogged

Tap water has a certain level of softness and purity. This may cause the filter to clog. This results in a lack of collection or fluid may be collected very slowly.

Reference! A special mesh filter allows you to save the machine from such problems, protecting it from the penetration of impurities and abrasive particles.

To eliminate this situation you should:

1. Turn off the water and unscrew the fluid supply hose.
2. Find a mesh filter. It is located in the area where the hose and dishwasher connect.
3. Clean it using a needle. You can use a special solution of citric acid.The part is placed in the liquid for at least an hour.

If the fill valve is faulty

The liquid supply stops if the water supply valve malfunctions. It stops opening after it receives a signal. The valve may break due to regular changes in water pressure or voltage. It cannot be repaired. It needs to be replaced so that the dishwasher can draw water again. It is recommended to contact specialists to complete the procedure. You may not be able to replace the part with your own hands.

If the pressure switch (water sensor) is faulty and the machine hums, but no water flows

A water sensor is needed to measure its level. When it breaks down, it starts giving incorrect readings. The machine begins to collect more than necessary. This leads to overflow.

And if the supply indicator blinks, but the liquid does not flow, it means that the sensor has become unusable. The pressure switch needs to be replaced:

1. Unplug the device and turn it on its side.
2. If there is a lid on the bottom, it should be removed.
3. The pressure switch looks like a plastic box. You need to remove the tube from it using pliers.
4. Unscrew a few screws and remove the sensor. Check for debris.
5. Take a multimeter and measure the contact resistance. This will help ensure that the part is working.
6. Install the new part.

If the control module is faulty

The control module controls many processes in the equipment, including sending on and off signals. If it is faulty, the dishwasher will not work correctly. The module cannot be repaired by yourself. You should contact the service specialists. You can only verify that the module is faulty. To do this, open the bunker door and unscrew the bolts.After finding the board, you should examine its external condition. If there are burnt wires, then the problem is in the module.

When the Aquastop hose is triggered (if equipped)

The valve is necessary to prevent an accident if a leak develops in the hose. Aquastop cannot be repaired, it can only be replaced. Need to:

1. Turn off the tap and disconnect the hose.
2. If the valve is pressed tightly against the sides of the hose, then the malfunction is related to it.
3. Unscrew the old part and replace it with a new one.

Some problems cannot be fixed on your own. However, after carrying out diagnostics, it will be possible to find the cause of the malfunction. Further actions depend on the nature of the breakdown.
