- Dishwasher Won't Fill? - Top 5 reasons and EASY DIY instructions to get your Dishwasher back to working order.
Reason #1 - Water Inlet Valve: If the water inlet valve is clogged or has dirty screens and filters, the dishwasher may not fill with water. However, there may also be larger issues at play. If you clean your inlet valve and it doesn’t solve the issue, make sure that you inspect it for other damage and test it for continuity.

Reason #2 - Float: The float rises with the water levels and once the right level is reached, the float is supposed to trigger the water to shut off. Lift the float by hand and drop it a couple of times. This piece should move freely and if it doesn’t, you will want to check for foreign objects or damage that could be preventing it from operating properly
Reason #3 - Float Switch: The float switch is the mechanical part that responds to the float and tells the machine to stop filling and can sometimes malfunction or become defective. Inspect this switch and ensure that it is engaging with the float properly.
Reason #4 - Door switch: The door switch is a mechanism that ensures that the dishwasher isn’t going to operate if the door isn’t closed properly. If the switches are defective, the dishwasher will not fill up with water as it should.
Reason #5 - Main Control Board: If you have tried the other fixes and nothing has resolved the issue that the dishwasher won’t fill, it may be that the electronic control board is going bad. The various components run the dishwasher and tell it when to cycle through the various processes, so if something is damaged, this is all interrupted, including the ability to fill.
The 'Top 5 Reasons Your Dishwasher is Won't Fill' video covers all major brands of Dishwasher, including: Whirlpool, GE, LG, Maytag & More.

Clear and concise. I wish all DYI videos were done by this guy. The world needs MORE MATT.
This dude's hair is 10/10
I love Matt's athletic stance at the beginning of the video. You can definatly tell that the he is ready to tackle any project.
Matt is goated!
D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y ... sorry. No offense. Couldn't resist
This was very helpful. Thank you for including instructions for using the multimeter!
This guy is great he explains how to test stuff and where to get parts from as for me at turned out it was the valve leading to the dishwasher it's a one-way in 2out I pulled it out I checked everything it wasn't until I put it back together then I realized it was the valve water wouldn't even turn onto the sink so I would suggest checking that first just like he said I obviously didn't listen to that
Thank you! I had a spoon under my float valve. Yes it was that easy!
That was my problem too thanks!
Nice video. It explained everything very well.
very informative - thanks!
I don't usually comment. I liked this video - he got me to think. Replaced a part in Gallery dishwasher and it would not fill with water. Turned out the reason was user error on my part but I would not have gotten there without the video. I blocked the float switch. Now it runs great. This video saved me hours of time - money and frustration. THX
You are very welcome!
Excellent explanation. My issue ended up being the float becoming dislodged.
Good quality, no frills instruction video!
Of all the videos I have watched this one in particular has been the number one best. Thank you.
You are very welcome.
just excellent. many thanks for sharing your expertise-a lifesaver!
You are welcome! Glad we were able to assist you!
Thank you so much for this video.
What a fantastic video super helpful. Found a bad solenoid 😊
Thank you. Glad we were able to help find your issue!
This was great. I assembled my tools, turned off the water supply, turned off the breaker, and was down on the floor taking off the floor plate. Turns out it was a cat food can lid stuck under the float. ;-). What did people do before youtube repair videos? Thank you!
Mine was a baby medicine syringe lol! I thought I was gonna be buying a new dishwasher! I think I will have to soon, anyways, but at least it's not a dire thing!
Thank you, thank you for make it so simple and effective
You are very welcome!
Thankyou!
that's a really nice concise video. I tend to pick up broken dishwashers and try to repair them all the time. I find a lot of the whirlpool type of dishwashers made from about 2013 to 2018 have a control board failure where the dishwasher won't activate the fill valve. Maybe it's common to the ones I keep picking up.
Oh man really?? I'm trying to fix mine, I believe it's from 2012/13. I hear a noise and the fishes are hot, but water doesn't circulate. I also see my dishwashing pod half melted on the basem 😢
You guys saved my bacon; in my case the float switch literally fried....my dishwasher is a DU810SWPU4 which hides the float switch in a really awkward position, so it was a pain to fix, but much less painful than paying a repairman...thank you!!
Glad you were able to fix your dishwasher! Glad we were able to assist you.
Nice very Nice thank you
Not even five minutes before my dishwasher was working again. Great video.
Thank you. If there is anything we can help you with please let us know.
Thank you so much! I cleaned the float switch and push it down too hard so it can't "float" anymore. Easy fix
Good video! Thanks to this video, I was able to figure out that a rubber seal had gotten under my float valve. I moved it out of the way, and the dishwasher started functioning normally again. Thank goodness I watched this video before calling in the (very expensive) professionals!
With mine, After talking to my youngest ( the Geek guy) I listened and thought I heard the click on valve, so I assumed it was trying.. He had me ensure water was getting to valve then As a "try", I shut water off and undid the water inlet feed then I used the bristle end of a battery terminal cleaner- gently scrubbing inside the valve.
Son said Newer dishwashers have a check valve in the drain valve that sends a signal allowing the fill valve to engage. Mine does not have that feature but He did have me run 3 coffee jugs of vvery hot water and forcing the drain cycle each time. This he said would clean out any grease ect that could be impeding operation.
Put it back together and Mine ran like new and had much better sound during drain cycle. I cleaned the screen filter while I had it off checking for debris in pump sump area also..
I have run 4 cycles.:)))
I can hear the pump but no water comes out. Would that be inlet valve?
That is the same exact problem I am having. Did you ever determine what it was?
*** I changed the water inlet valve and still no water. Turns out my feed line was clogged with debris right before the water inlet valve. No idea how that debris got in there.
My dishwasher does cycle, completely but the water won't come in. Could the #4,door switch or the #5,main control board still be causing the issue of not filling?
I'm Havin the Same Issue.. I Have to Pour Water In the Bottom in order to work..
Same thing here. My just started malfunctioning yesterday, did you determine what caused your problem?
Was hoping to find an answer to this. I replaced the intake valve (but it didn’t test as bad before) and I tested the float switch and it had the correct continuity, but there is still no water coming in. Everything else runs and the machine properly waits to fill when I manually hold the switch (as in, no water comes in, but it will stay in “filling” until I let go)
Yo! The view of the multimeter testing, is that with the freakin dishwasher taken out and laid in its back?!!!!!!
I dont know why in the min 2:53 OL means is good but in the minute 3:37 OL means is bad? Why?
this dude looks like he can rip a mean guitar solo
I think he can juggle
My Frigidaire won't fill. Water pressure is fine, inlet valve is fine, floater switch is fine, the float itself had minor buildup but i cleaned that off and it's unrestricted now.
How do you know the water valve is fine? Did you test it for voltage?
@@appliancepartspros I checked for continuity; I did not check for voltage however. Same with the floater switch; continuity when the float was down, and no continuity when up
In order to know if the valve is bad you would want to test it to see if it has 120 volts coming to it.
@@appliancepartspros I'll have get back to it then!
What if my dishwasher doesn't have a float switch
What is your model number of your dishwasher? What is going on with it?
Changed out my water inlet valve and my plunger electronic device and it still doesn't fill up all the way. In fact u can manually hold down the button on the overflow plunger device and it still shuts off way too soon, then the dishwasher goes through it's entire 4 hour cycle with no water or no agitation or no spinning arms....just dry!
What ended up being your problem? I have the same issue right now.
Defy diswasher no electricty at inlet valve
Easy 😑
Good quality, no frills instruction video!
