Alll of a sudden, the dishwasher would not fill up with water.

I tested the old fill valve and found it to be operational when AC is applied.

I used the documentation to determine that there is NO power to the fill valve under any circumstances.

Ideas ??

PS: It occured to me that the onset of this problem was accompanied by the strong smell of something 'burning up' underneath the machine.

Thanks !!!

The ground to the fill valve is daisy chained together with a lot of things like the heater. Look around under the washer and look for a burnt/loose connection.
If ok, you should pull front panel and find the timer terminal that supplies voltage to the fill valve. Sometimes the pin gets burnt or pulls out a little, just push it in with meter probe. I check with the washer running, but with the motor wires disconnected to avoid spray arm spray!! If ok probably a stuck float.

Here is one for the books: The blue wire that feeds the fill valve broke and burned through the insulation where the entire group of wires passes through a metal guide at the bottom of the door. Almost impossible to detect without my magnifier. Tomorrow, I'll pick up some wire of the correct gauge, splice in a piece and re-do the protective layer of tape. Done !!!

Thanks for your help !!!
