Hello,

I did a search and couldn't find anything with my problem and hopefully someone here has seen it before.

The unit was in the house when we bought it 3 years ago.

GE Potscrubber 650. Load it with dishes, put in the detergent and close and lock the door. When you click the timer over to start the wash, it DOES NOT fill with water, just starts making the cyling noise like it is full of water and is trying to wash.

No manual so I'll start searching online but if anyone here has a good idea, I'll start there.

Cheers!
WR

Take the bottom plate off dishwasher & locate the water inlet valve on left side. Check the solenoid for voltage while in the fill cycle. If you get 120 volts & no water, the valve needs replaced. You might want to slightly loosen the water line first to be sure you have water going to valve. Another thing to check is the float inside the dishwasher on the front left floor. Make sure it moves freely up & down & isn't stuck in the up position.

Thanks so much!

I'm checking those things tonite!

I'm good with tools and can build engines and transmissions, but have NO IDEA how these things operate.

Appreciate your time!
