Amana Dishwasher won't fill

If your Amana dishwasher won't fill, start with the simplest and most common cause: a bad or clogged water inlet valve. When the valve cannot open, the dishwasher gets no water. Next, check for something stuck under the safety float in the front corner of the tub, since that can trick the machine into thinking the water level is already too high. After that, make sure the water supply shut-off valve under the sink is fully open. If those items check out, the problem may be a faulty float switch, a failed main control board, or a bad control board that is not sending power to the water inlet valve. This kind of dishwasher not filling with water issue can also look like a dishwasher won't fill at all or a dishwasher no water problem, even though the real failure is electrical or float-related. If you need to replace the water inlet valve, float switch, main control board, or control board, enter your Amana dishwasher model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your machine.

01 - Amana Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water valve is clogged or defective, water will not flow into the dishwasher. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.

02 - Object stuck under the safety float

Some dishwashers have a safety float in the front corner of the tub to prevent the dishwasher from overfilling with water. If an object is stuck under the float, the dishwasher may not fill with water. If you find anything stuck under the float, remove it and the dishwasher should start filling properly.

03 - Amana Dishwasher Main Control Board

A dishwasher's main control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the water inlet valve, preventing it from opening and allowing the necessary water to fill the tank.

Highly Likely

04 - Water supply valve turned off

You should confirm that the dishwasher's water supply shut-off valve is in the "On" or open position. The water supply shut-off valve is usually located under the sink and is connected to the hot water line.

05 - Amana Dishwasher Float Switch

The float switch is a safety designed to shut off the water inlet valve if the dishwasher is overfilling. If the float switch is defective or stuck, it might stop the dishwasher from filling correctly. You can use a multi meter to test the float switch for continuity. If the float switch is defective, replace it.
