My dishwasher will not fill with water. If I fill it with the Sink it runs fine until the water is gone. I replaced the inlet valve.

Jeff

Answer Hello Jeff. Check and make sure the float is not stuck up in the unit. If the float is good and working properly, and there is no power coming to the water valve, you will need to replace the control module in the unit.

Woke up to hear the dishwasher making a draining noise, it had been running all night. It would still make this noise with the door open. After a few days, I tried it again, and the dishwasher ran fine and was able to do a load. But upon trying another load, again it was just making a draining noise. We pulled the dishwasher out, and opened it up. There was some water in the tray below. What we have found is on the tray below there is a styrofoam disk that has three holes in it. Possibly the float I keep reading about. In the center hole is a gray plastic piece that a long red rod sits on that I am thinking is the float shaft. This red rod does not move up automatically to start the washing process. Water starts moving through a plastic tank. There is a hole at the front right corner of the tank and water is coming out through the hole and draining into the pan below. If we manually move the red rod in the up position and hold it, for just a few seconds, the water does not drain out of the hole and the dishwasher begins to run properly and runs through the entire cleaning process fine on it's own. What is going on, or what is needed to make this red rod engage the control on it's own?

Dumpsterdiva for Model Number SHX46B02UC/14 FD8303 00081

Answer Hi Dumpsterdiva. The red float shaft part # 263122. The Float lever switch is part # 263123. The float disc is part # 165301. All cheap replaceable parts which activate the drain pump. Clean up all the water and use dishwasher magic part # TJ104, monthly to keep the unit efficient. Thank You.

Hello KJ. You will need to check and see if there is water in the bottom tray under the dishwasher. If so, there is a leak under there, that is causing the pump to kick on to prevent flooding of the house. You will need to dry the bottom out and run the dishwasher and look for leaks. Once you find where the dishwasher is leaking from, we will be glad to look the part up for you. Hope this helps. Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com How do I get to the bottom tray? I have slid it out and taken off the toe kick plate. I also cleaned out the drain, took out the piece that covers the sump pump, took needle nose pliers to take out the blace rubber thing and cleaned that too. The blue paddle turns freely. The drain still runs, even with the door open. I believe it is the float that is engaged, but do not know how to proceed with caution. Thank you!

Joann for Model Number shx4605uc

Answer Hello Joann. If you remove the side access panel on the left side facing the dishwasher, you can access and replace the float assembly 165301. The base assembly of the dishwasher is the bottom part on the dishwasher that sits on the floor. If there is water in there, then you have a leak. Hope this helps.

When the cycle is finished there is no water in the bottom of the dish washer. After some time there will be clean water in the bottom pan of the machine. If I turn off the water supply when the load is finished no water accumulates in the washer. What part or parts do I need to replace.

Fred G for Model Number SHX46A02UC

Answer Hello Fred. From what your describing, it sounds like the water valve 425458 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Again, how many possibilities are there? You've recommended a flex hose with o-rings. That's good. But aren't there others you can think of which I should probably order at the same time?

Are there other parts you would recommend I purchase at the same time while I have the unit out and upside down in my Kitchen to make sure I get it right the first time? Thank you again.

Kb for Model Number SHU9915UC/11

I had a repairman try to diagnose the problem. He said there is a leak in the sump area which causes the drain pan to capture enough water that it triggers a float which then prevents the dishwasher from cycling. If this sounds plausible will you recommend the parts I need to make the repair? Such as a sump repair kit? Thank you.

Kj for Model Number Bosch Dishwasher SHU9915UC/U11

Answer Hello KJ. Yes, that sounds correct. You will need to look and see which hose is leaking. Most of these leaks are a bad o-ring. There are several that it could be. The most common is the flex hose 263099 that goes from the sump to the water inlet. Hope this helps.

I woke up this morning to hear the dishwasher motor running (probably all night long since my wife started a load before going to bed). After emptying the clean & dry load, I re-loaded to start it again and the same running motor sound occurred. After 2-3 minutes of that I opened the door to stop it. Any ideas as to my problem? Thank you.
