Ikea Dishwasher won't fill

If your Ikea dishwasher won't fill, start with the most common cause: a bad or clogged water inlet valve. When this valve fails, the dishwasher is not filling with water because no water can enter the tub. Next, check for something stuck under the safety float in the front corner of the tub, since a blocked float can make the machine think the water level is already too high. After that, verify the main control board is sending power to the inlet valve, make sure the water supply shut-off valve under the sink is fully open, and test the float switch for continuity. A faulty control board can also cause an Ikea dishwasher no water problem by interrupting power to the fill system. If your dishwasher won't fill or is not filling with water, these are the parts and checks most likely to solve it. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the fix to your machine. Enter your model number to find the exact Ikea water inlet valve, float switch, main control board, or control board that fits your specific dishwasher.

01 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.

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.
Highly Likely

05 - Ikea 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.
