The water inlet valve one of the most common dishwasher parts to fail, and could be the cause of a dishwasher that is not cleaning the dishes well, if it is not providing the proper water level in the tub. The water valve is normally located at the front of the dishwasher behind the lower access panel. If the proper water level is not being reached or if you have no water at all, then first check the inlet to the valve to insure that it is not plugged and verify that power is being supplied to the valve during the fill portion of the cycle. This can be done with a multi-meter. If the inlet is not restricted and power is being supplied at the proper time then the valve needs to be replaced.
