Great video with detailed steps. In the comments, I saw a comment about the floater. I tried that, no luck. While racking my brain, hoping I did not have to follow the video. I remembered before the washer stopped spraying, I was pushing the hot water and drain hoses in the back of my cabinet/under the sink. Google results mentioned placement of the hoses can cause this issue. It took about 1 hour, but I found the "sweet spot" for the hoses. ALL GOOD NOW! I wanted to share for anyone else. Hope this helps. I kept putting the dishwasher on rinse cycle, once the clicking sound started, I open the door. which resets the rinse cycle to sprayers. Moved the hoses while the clicking also until I heard the spraying.

I almost went to replace the part and decided to call a local repair guy, he fixed it over the phone thankfully. Nothing was actually broken, so just for everyone out there, on the bottom of your dishwasher there's a little circular thing, it's the floater. Sometimes it gets stuck in an upward position, tricking the dishwasher into thinking it's full basically. All I had to do was pull it up a bit and drop it back down and wait for the faint "click" noise. Boom, fixed. Great video though, informative.

most clear and precise description oF how to do I think Ive ever seen, thanks guy

Thank you so much for this great video. We were able to fix our dishwasher ourselves for less than $50 after getting the part online!!

Thanks so much for helping this family out by making this video!!

Great video. This ended up being the same exact issue going on with my dishwasher. Ended up costing me $15 and about an hour of my time versus hundreds on a repairman. Thank you!

Thank you. The diagnostic part at the beginning was super helpful.

Someone's comment saved me! No water... My float was stuck up! Small round disk at front of bottom water tray. I removed, cleaned, and replaced. Working now.

EXACTLY what was wrong and what I needed, THANK YOU!

Thank you for making this video bc it was exactly what was wrong and the part cost less than $30 and was here in a few days.

I was able to fix my KitchenAid dishwasher with the help of this video. Bought a replacement valve on Amazon. Save yourself a big headache and replace the spring clip with a tiny hose clamp (got mine at Home Depot). After replacing the valve the first time, I had a small drip and had to do it over. The hose clamp fixed it. Also, I'm not sure why he disconnected the hose from the brass elbow. It's much easier to unscrew the brass hose connection from the blue value.

This worked perfectly, thank you for sharing. Saved money on a repair person.

The bowl of water worked! You saved me so much money, Thank you!

Did the diagnosis at the beginning of video and figured it was the water inlet valve. I have a Maytag. I let it finish the cycle and few hours later for the heck of it I tried starting another cycle. To my surprise it filled on its own! I’ve done 2 loads this week and everything seems ok so far.

this video gave me confidence to troubleshoot my own dishwasher problem. I went in thinking it was the pump, no the water sensor, no the gunky tank hanging on the side. I lastly checked the water line, and there were sediments blocking water flow.

Excellent I’ll be tuning in again

Same washer. I had a piece of plastic barely blocking part of impeller. Size of 1/2 inch of electrical tape. Thanks for saving me time.

Thank you very much sir. I just recently started to using my dishwasher and I didn’t have any clue, how it works even though I do fix other stuff. Yesterday after I run the dishwasher, the dishes was not clean, but some water left on the dishes. I didn’t know where to start. After searching on KZread I watched your video and after 3 minutes of watching it, I decided to check the water inlet. Our under the sink water control valve is a rare one, which is, a push and pull one. I checked that control valve which turn ON or OFF the water supply to the dishwasher and It was pushed in. I think while I was working on the sink faucet accidentally I push the one for the dishwasher. Now it turned ON again the dishwasher working now. Also you explain everything in detail including the price and matching the new part with the old one. Thank you very much for posting the video. God bless you! Also do you have any information about fridge water dispenser? It’s a GE refrigerator. I already replaced the filter still no water coming out. It is making ice very slowly also. Thanks again.

Thank you for the easy fix!

Will a failed water inlet keep the washer from spraying? It’ll slowly fill, not much at all, make a noise, drain. No cycle

The dishwasher I was messing with had been sitting for 3 years. I put hot water in it to test and the dishwasher is been running normal ever since. Ran it 4-5 times so far. Just surprised me. Was convinced I was going to have to replace some stuff. It's fully filling, washing and rinsing. I'm assuming the hot water loosened something.

So I did go ahead and find the part number for the inlet valve and got it replaced (almost exactly how you described - excellent video). After I put everything back together, the dishwasher is still behaving the same way. Is there anything else related to water not spraying or filling to start the cycle? Many thanks!!

@@4x2WagonFamily the circulation pump?

My Kitchenaid is showing code 6-4 . The service company diagnosed that I needed a new sump pump unit. Also, a new control board. My dishwasher fills and sprays but after 7 minutes or so stops spraying and I hear the motor click on ... but it doesn't spray and 10 seconds later I hear a 2nd click and it stops ... 10 minutes later it tries to start washing again and seconds later clicks off again. The sump pump drain ok. Any suggestions? My unit is only 5 years old.

*** 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.

Question: i have a 21 year old Kenmore. I just put a bowl of water in the bottom and its washing. No problem. Im wondering, if that little screen was clogged would that stop the flow?? I thought i fixed it with the float but i used it once and it was back to no water flow. 🤔🧐 how will i know its the part you replaced? I just looked at new ones and omgosh. They're beautiful but so much money. My kenmore frig same age is filling with snow in the freezer and frig part is barely cool. 2 old appliances in 1 week. I love my ancient kenmores because they were awsome. Nothing has ever broke on it and we have well water. HELP

The part number on the new packaging is not the same as the number on the new unit

(My experience + grain of salt) Before you order this $75+ part, first, take it out and lightly tap/shake it on a soft towel. If you don't hear/feel something moving inside the valve, tap it a little harder. You might get a little water out. But if you don't feel/hear something shake free, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. And watch out, as you know, the plastic threads strip easily. Pre-install the metal connector to the valve before placing back.

I was replacing overhead lights and had to turn off breaker for a bit. Well, I guess as a safety thing when breaker off the on/off water pops out and turns water off. Easy fix for me and great video! Thank you!

Can the valve work on and off when it's going out? Or does it go out all at once? I have a Kenmore portable dishwasher and when I hook it up to the faucet, It wants to pop off the sink. I can hear water going into it somewhat, but after a minute or two, it will pop off the sink. If I lower the amount of water going into the washer, it will stay on sometimes. I have taken the dish washer apart 3x and cleaned out the hoses and cleaned the spray arm and checked the float but I can tell there is something wrong. I just can't figure out what it is. The dishes do come out clean but the water sounds the dishwasher make, I can tell, is not right. Could that be the valve? Thanks.

Make sure you didn’t overfill or added too much water inside. The water should be tad below the heating elements.

My dishwasher is brand new, came with the house. It fills with water and drains, and the heater works but water never sprays or splashes inside. I ran it thru several cycles. It fills with water and then its silent for like 20 minutes and then drains. Not sure what to do there, or why a brand new dishwasher doesnt work 😒

Thank you, my husband is trying that now. We have a kitchenaid from 2006 (post Katrina hurricane flooding) and it also fails to drain once water is inside. Should we just buy a new one?

In our case the issue we were seeing was the dishwasher would fill in and drain but it would not spray or clean. Initially we got the F1 E9 error codes. The dishwasher is a Whirlpool Dishwasher that is less than a year old. I started replacing parts that were cheaper and then the more expensive parts where all were possibly faulty. I replaced the inlet valve, the diverter motor, and finally the draining pump. We are still not seeing it spray or wash. At this point I have read that possibly the board is bad or a fuse but I am not sure. Anyone has an idea what else we could check before we go and buy a new one? Thanks in advance.
