Whirlpool dishwasher not filling with water

The cycle starts, the motor runs dry, no water enters. These are the Whirlpool part numbers we hold for the components that cause it, with the number of models each one is listed against.

Before you order anything

  1. Check that the water supply valve under the sink is open — it is closed after most installs and forgotten.
  2. Listen at the start of the cycle: no click means the inlet valve is not being asked to open.
  3. Sediment screens on the inlet valve clog on older machines; that is a valve replacement, not a cleaning.

This is a diagnostic starting point built from the parts listed for Whirlpool dishwashers, not a service manual. Confirm the model plate inside the door before ordering: one character changes the part.
