Make sure the water shut off valve for the dishwasher is open all the way. If there is nothing wrong, replace the water inlet valve. - The water inlet valve Part number: 425458

The water valve is open all the way. But i did replace the copper line
Going to the dishwasher with a flexible pvc line. It seems as the diameter on that
One is smaller than the copper pipe, so if the water filling is on a timer as opposed.
To a float it would probably make a difference. What is ur opinion on that before i replace the water inlet valve.

I agree that the copper tube is not the best solution but I would use the braided stainless steel water line which will last much longer than any dishwasher and cost less than $7. - The braided stainless steel water line (72") Part number: AP4494473

Ok. Thanks. But now there seems to be a problem w draining the water. I run the test
Program and although it seems as if the pump is running properly, sometimes it empties the water and sometimes it does not

To the garbage disposal outlet for the dishwasher where its been for like 9 years.
Do u think there is garbage on the line or something happened when i laid it down to change the heater. But i think it had happened a couple times before the circulation motor went bad

I replaced the water like with the one you suggested, but it still does not get enough water. Where should the water level be to the filter when it initially starts?
Is there a possibility that something happened to the float when i changed the heater. if it was the water inlet valve would you think that I would get
different amounts of water in each time? they usually tend to do that or no water at all.
On the draining issue: if you run the dishwasher 2 times the one after the
other, it will not drain after the rinse cycle the first time but it will the second time. I checked the drain hose for any obstructions and also cleaned. Pump works each time.

If the new water line did not fix the problem, replace the water inlet valve.
Disconnect the drain hose from the garbage disposal. Place the end of the drain hose into a large bucket and run the dishwasher on the drain cycle. Male sure the garbage disposal connector for the dishwasher drain is clean.
