What to do if a Bosch, Whirlpool, Samsung, Electrolux, LG dishwasher does not get water. Does it draw enough water or does the car wash stop immediately after the start of water flooding?
If your dishwasher does not get the water to the end and does not start the sink, it is necessary to urgently understand the causes of the problem.
Symptoms: washing does not start, the error code may light up on the display.
Start by checking for water in the plumbing. Unscrew the faucet in any sink. It is possible that it was at this time that the utilities turned off the water in the house.

Symptoms: the dishwasher constantly collects water and immediately drains it.
If you notice that while it is pumping water into the tank, it simultaneously drains from there, then you have problems with draining the water, and not with its water supply. One of the possible reasons – incorrect connection of the drain when installing the machine.
To avoid spontaneous discharge, the drain hose must either be connected through a special siphon. Or the hose should be attached to the sewer at a height of 50-60 cm from the floor. There is an easy way to make sure that the reason for draining is in the wrong installation. During the flush, press pause and check whether the water continues to drain – if the answer is yes, then you have found the cause.

Symptoms: washing either does not start at all or lasts too long.
Next, you need to make sure that you have completely opened all the taps in your plumbing system. Including water supply tap for dishwasher, if available. For normal water flow, the taps must be fully open. Rarely, but it happens that the valve itself broke. If the valve turns or does not turn at all, it must be replaced.
To check that the water enters the machine with normal pressure, you need to disconnect the water supply hose from the dishwasher. Direct the hose into some large container. If water is running, use your finger to clamp the hose to check the pressure. Water leaks – it means the pressure is in order.

Symptoms: washing either does not start at all or lasts too long.
If water is supplied to a low-pressure dishwasher, its internal sensor can block the sink. If there is no such sensor, the wash can take a lot of time, as the water will accumulate very slowly.
To cope with a weak pressure you are unlikely to succeed. We’ll have to call the plumber or call the management company. Find out if any repairs are being done on the plumbing.

[su_box title=”Input filter clogged” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: washing either does not start at all or lasts too long.
At the entrance to the dishwasher at the point of connection of the water supply hose is an inlet filter. The filter protects from getting into any debris. Since times the filter can be clogged, which will slow down the flow of water. As a result, the automatics of the machine will either prohibit washing altogether or it will last too long.
To start, turn off the water tap to the dishwasher. Unscrew the water supply hose at its connection to the water supply. If there is a filter screen, clean it.
Then unscrew the hose from the machine itself. Below it, you will see a strainer that needs to be removed and checked. If the mesh is clogged, rinse it, clean it, and put it in place.

[su_box title=”Clogged, pinched, damaged water supply hose” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: washing either does not start at all or lasts too long.
Problems with the water supply hose lead to the same results as clogging the inlet filter. Either the automation will turn off the sink due to the weak pressure of the water, or the sink will be delayed for a long time.
To begin, conduct a visual inspection of the hose. The hose should not be clamped anywhere and it should not have visible damage. If you see a puddle near the hose, you need to check if there are any cracks in the hose.

[su_box title=”Outlet valve out of order” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: water in the tank is either not collected at all or is collected slowly.
Water supply solenoid valve may not work well. The reason may be in the clogging of its filter, and because of the burnt winding (coil) or a weakened membrane. You can clean the valve filter yourself. To diagnose problems with the valve and its repair is better to call a specialist.

[su_box title=”Water level sensor does not work” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: water in the tank is either not collected at all or is collected slowly.
A faulty water supply sensor sends incorrect information to the machine’s electronic system. Because of this, the dishwasher gives the wrong commands – the consequences can be anything. The dishwasher stops picking up water or badly and slowly draws water. It can also continuously draw water or drain it during a set.
It is impossible to repair the sensor, it must be replaced.

[su_box title=”The door is not closed” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: the dishwasher does not get water and the washing program quickly stops.
Perhaps you did not close the door tightly, took up other things. Close the door until it clicks.

[su_box title=”Problems with locking the door” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: water does not start.
The door lock device protects from the bay of the apartment and possible injuries. If there are any problems with the door, the machine will not start to draw water. The reasons may be different – the door is not closed tightly, or breaker blockage.
Make sure that the door is really closed and there are no foreign objects that interfere with the tight closing of the door.
Check for a skewed door. Mounting bolts are provided to adjust the door level. Check the metal bar that holds the hook. He could just fall out. Can break and lock and control electronic elements.
If simple solutions did not help, then a door lock failure is possible. In this case, the dishwasher will not turn on and with the door closed.

[su_box title=”Water leaks, problems with aquastop” style=”default” box_color=”#333333″ title_color=”#FFFFFF” radius=”3″ class=””]
Symptoms: washing lasts too long, puddles under the car.
If a leak occurs at some point in the dishwasher, this inevitably leads to a slow collection of water in the tank. Slowing the process of washing dishes, or a complete lock of the dishwasher washing program.
The leakage protection system will not allow water to be drawn in, and the washing program will quickly stop.
To begin with, visually determine the possible place of leakage through the formed puddles or drips. Often there are problems with the drain hose due to its incorrect connection during installation. There may be problems with the water supply hose. The water supply hose is not properly screwed on or the gasket at the connection point of the hose has failed.

Symptoms: any problems with water supply.
To determine exactly what is to blame for a faulty control unit, only a qualified specialist can. Do not climb an unprepared person in the control unit. The consequences will be fatal – possible damage to other components of the dishwasher. Usually, the control module is changed or reflashed.
