Low or no water (mechanical problem) — no water

From Tech Sheet W15359531, p.23:

1.Verify water supply is turned on and supply line adequate. Check for leaks under dishwasher. Turn off water supply, disconnect water line to inlet valve and inspect/clean the inlet screen of fill valve.

2.Measure the inlet valve coil resistance at the valve connector. Expected: 1,000 to 1,200 ohms per coil at room temperature.

3.Verify static water supply pressure at the inlet hose. Below 20 psi or fluctuating supply commonly triggers fill-timeout faults.
