Electrolux Dishwasher won't fill

If your Electrolux dishwasher won't fill, start with the most common cause: a clogged or failed water inlet valve. When that valve cannot open, the dishwasher gets no water. Next, check the safety float in the front corner of the tub. If something is stuck under it, the machine may think it is already full and stop filling. After that, make sure the water supply shut-off valve under the sink is fully on. If those items check out, the problem could be a bad float switch, a faulty main control board, or a failed control board that is not sending power to the water inlet valve. For anyone dealing with an Electrolux dishwasher not filling with water, dishwasher won't fill, or dishwasher no water problem, these are the parts and checks most likely to solve it. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to track down the right fix.

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.

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.

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.

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.
