We have a GE dishwasher (model PDW8480J10SS) that is just about 10 years old. When we press the Start button, we can hear what sounds like the normal beginning of a cleaning cycle. However, there is no water!
Not even sure where to start, so I came here. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I'm comfortable doing the repair, just need to know what is broken!
Thank you,
Shawn

I always start with the float/overflow switch. If it should get stuck in the 'full' position, it will shut off power to the water valve. part 308 on the diagram.

It was actually a pretty easy (and embarrassing) fix. A couple of days ago, I did some work on my garbage disposal and turned off the water to the dishwasher. Once I turned it back on, the dishwasher magically worked again!! ;-)
