Dishwasher Not Filling With Water? Safe Checks
Confirm supply and closure
Make sure the household shutoff is open if safely accessible, the door latches fully and delayed start is off. Check for an error code. Do not disconnect the water line or remove the lower panels.
Fill controls work as a system
The inlet valve, float or level sensor, door latch and electronic control must all permit water entry. Diagnosis checks the command and response so a valve is not replaced when another safety input is blocking it.
Book after the symptom repeats
Stop if the dishwasher hums, leaks or shows the same fill code. Provide the model number and note whether any water enters at all.

Dishwasher Not Filling With Water? Safe Checks — quick answers
Why does the dishwasher run without water?
The control may start a sequence even when a latch, float, valve or supply issue prevents normal filling.
Can food under the float stop filling?
On models with an accessible float, debris can interfere, but follow the manual and do not force it.
Do you install dishwashers too?
Yes. Dishwasher installation is the one appliance installation service Riko offers.
