Recently, the dish washer would cycle up to "Quick Rinse" then NOT fill with water. The heating element comes on and it sounds like the motor is running. Today, I was dinking around with it and the filling seems to be intermittent on all modes.. pots&pans, normal, china, water miser and quick rinse. Manually pouring in water at this point allows the job to be finished but.... I wasn't able to find a similar problem in the archives. Thank you for your attention. Michael~

I had also disconnected and reconnected about 1/2 dozen times incase their may have been a little corrosion. All looked very clean under the washer. I ran the wash cycles 5 or 6 times, looking for another failure to open, to check the voltage at that time. I didn't have another failure. If it fails to fill again, it looks like valve replacement would be thing. Thank you for your reply. Michael~
