My Whirlpool dishwasher will not fill with water. It's run fine for years. Then this started. It happened a week or two ago and I fooled with cycles, moved float up and down (was down and not stuck) and it worked for a few days. Now it back to not filling. Don't have little kids who might hide under the sink and turn water supply off.
So it does seem to move through the cycles and ends. Display goes off. But no washing of dishes.
Replaced the fill valve solenoid and no help.
So there is a float valve micro switch, door micro switch and control board.
I think if the door micro switch were not working it would not move through the cycles.
So float micro switch or control board. I ordered both.
I can test float micro switch with ohm meter. I am guessing when the float is down the micro switch is closed. So if the micro switch failed open then it would never let in water.
Assuming that's not the issue then control board. There are three control boards. But two handle the display and buttons.
I cannot find a real appliance tech trouble shooting guide. Talked to Whirlpool and they do not have one, at least not that they will share with me.
Other ideas.
