Hello; My washer isn't washing completely. It appears as if it doesn't completely fill as the water does not reach the float. Then when cycled to drain the drain pump runs long after the tub is emptied. I've verified this by tripping the door latch and watching functions with impeller and chopper removed. The water inlet seems to run appx 70 seconds before cycling off.
Help ThankYou !

ANSWER Charles, You'll need to check or replace the fill valve 6-920534 ,and check the water pressure and flow to the dishwasher. The control board has a built in limiter, it will allow power to the valve for 90 to 100 seconds, then turns the power off. At the proper water pressure and flow the inlet valve allows 1.1 GPM, In 90 seconds there should be approximately 1.7 gallons of water in the bottom of the tub. If you allow the dishwasher to fill and run for three(3) to five(5) minutes the safety float should be floating and the heater element should be partially submerged, If not the fill valve is usually the issue. Thanks
