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

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!! ;-)
