Record the display and whether the cycle actually started. If Delay is active or a saved cycle blocks selection, use the start/reset task before assessing water intake.

When to stop
- Stop using the dishwasher for smoke, a burning smell, damaged wiring, an active leak or water near electrical equipment. Isolate power and water only from a safe, dry, accessible location; otherwise keep clear and request qualified help.
- Do not remove the pump cover, reach into the pump, open electrical panels, bypass the door interlock or move the installed dishwasher. Refer plumbing connections, installation and repairs to qualified service.
- Stop if a part is cracked, jammed, sharp, insecure or different from the matching manual. Do not force a fitting or touch hot water. Never mix cleaning products.
Every check and possible next step
Start at “Has an immediate wash actually been started?”. Choose only what you observed. An unobserved condition is its own answer.
Has an immediate wash actually been started?
Has an immediate wash actually been started?
Delay or an unfinished cycle can look like a filling failure.
Steps for this check: 1.
- The wash was started without an unwanted delay
Continue to Is the known accessible dishwasher water supply fully on?. - Delay or a saved cycle is still preventing the wash
Observation and next step recorded — Resolve the observed Delay or saved-cycle condition with the start/reset task before treating this as a water-intake problem. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.
