The dishwasher does not pick up water

Owners of dishwashers can face various problems during operation. One of the failures is the lack of a set of water. Equipment cannot perform its functions efficiently. Therefore, you should find out how you can eliminate the breakdown and understand what caused it.

Checking the correct operation of the dishwasher, which does not enter water

Often, breakdowns occur due to neglect of the manufacturer's recommendations and the rules for using the device. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you did everything correctly. First, it is recommended to check for water in the tap. One riser is used. Therefore, if there is no water in the tap, then the equipment will not be able to collect liquid. Problems with the water supply can provoke temporary malfunctions of the dishwasher.

Be sure to check if you are using a quality and proper detergent. This can cause serious problems over time. Therefore, only recommended detergents should be used.

Make sure the water supply valve is open. It is located at the junction of the hose and the water system. If it is blocked, then a set of fluid will not occur.

Possible malfunctions that prevent water from entering the dishwasher

If it is not inattention and lack of fluid in the water supply, then you should familiarize yourself with the malfunctions that most often lead to such a problem:

1. Clogged flow filter or the entire system.
2. The filler valve broke, which led to blocking the water supply.
3. Malfunction of the door mechanism.
4. Damage to the pressure switch.
5. The activation of the Aquastop system.
6. Damage to the control unit element.

Troubleshooting dishwasher water supply

Many malfunctions can be fixed with your own hands. It is necessary to carry out diagnostics to find out the cause of the breakdown. Then you need to do some manipulation to correct the situation.

Important! If you can’t fix the dishwasher with your own hands or you are not confident in your own abilities, you should contact the master. Otherwise, the situation may become worse.

If the flow hose is clogged

Tap water has a certain level of softness and purity. This may cause clogging of the filter. This results in a lack of kit, or fluid may be collected very slowly.

Reference! A special filter mesh allows you to save the machine from such problems, protecting from the penetration of impurities and abrasive particles.

To eliminate this situation:

1. Turn off the water and unscrew the fluid supply hose.
2. Find the filter mesh. It is located in the area where the hose and dishwasher connect.
3. Clean it using a needle. You can use a special solution of citric acid. The part is placed in the liquid for at least an hour.

If the filling valve is defective

The fluid supply is interrupted when the water supply valve malfunctions. It ceases to open after it received a signal. The valve may break due to regular changes in water pressure or voltage. It cannot be repaired. He needs a replacement so that the dishwasher can again draw water. It is recommended to contact specialists for the procedure. With your own hands, it may not work out to replace the part.

If the pressure switch (water sensor) is faulty and the machine is humming, but no water flows

A water sensor is needed to measure its level. When it breaks, it begins to give incorrect readings. The machine begins to fence more than necessary. This leads to overflow.

And if the feed indicator is blinking, but no fluid is flowing, then the sensor has become unusable. Need to replace the pressure switch:

1. Unplug the device and turn it on its side.
2. If there is a cover at the bottom, it should be removed.
3. The pressure switch looks like a plastic box. It is necessary to pick up the phone using pliers.
4. Remove a few screws and remove the sensor. Check for garbage.
5. Take a multimeter and measure the contact resistance. This will help ensure that the part is operational.
6. Install a new part.

If the control module is faulty

The control module manages many processes in the equipment, including sending on / off signals. If it is faulty, the dishwasher starts to work incorrectly. The module cannot be repaired on its own. You should contact the service to specialists. You can only verify that the module is malfunctioning. To do this, open the hopper door and unscrew the bolts. After the board is detected, its external state should be examined. If there are burnt wiring, then the problem is in the module.

When the Aquastop hose is triggered (if available)

A valve is needed to prevent an accident if a hose leaks. It is impossible to repair Aquastop, it can only be replaced. Need to:

1. Turn off the tap and disconnect the hose.
2. If the valve is pressed snugly against the sides of the hose, then a malfunction is associated with it.
3. Unscrew the old part and replace it with a new one.

Some problems cannot be fixed by yourself. However, after diagnosing, it will be possible to find the cause of the malfunction. Further actions depend on the nature of the damage.
