We Have A Leak On The Floor Under The Dishwasher And By Looking On The Parts Website It Appears To Be The Inlet Water Valve. Any Ideas How To Be Sure And If This Is Replaced Is There Also Something Else That Should Be Replaced?

Get a small mirror and a flashlight and locate the leak. Dry everything off and through sight/feel determine where the actual leak is, sometimes a leak can be higher up and it is just dripping from a certain part.
Could be the valve itself (replace it) OR the input line (may just need tightening) OR the output (may need a new clamp).
Also could be coming from the overfill float assembly. Check the fill level usually machines fill to just below the heating element. Remove the float cover and clean/check it. Sometimes crud will build up in this area and siphon out some water. Leak will be a few drops and only when there is water in the tub.
