If your Estate dishwasher won't fill, start with the parts and checks most likely to stop water from entering the tub. The most common cause is a bad or clogged water inlet valve, since the valve has to open for the dishwasher to take in water. Next, check the safety float in the front corner of the tub. If something is stuck under it, your dishwasher may act like it is already full and shut off the fill. After that, look at the main control board, make sure the water supply shut-off valve under the sink is fully on, and test the float switch for continuity. A failed control board can also keep the water inlet valve from getting power. If your Estate dishwasher is not filling with water, has no water, or fills slowly, these are the first places to look.

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.

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.
