Dishwasher fills with water but does nothing else.

If water slowly fills in the tub when not in use.

a) Most likely your machine inlet water valve not seating properly and closing. Change the machine water valve.

b) May be sink drain water back flowing to the tub. But you have checked that.

So it has to be the machine inlet water valve.

If your dishwasher is brand new, then call Bosch service as they can repair it under warranty.

Ifthe dishwasher just fills with water only and nothing else happens. One or two things is wrong. The first thing is the wire could come offthe start capacitor. The second problemis that is not is the motor.

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on hoe you`ve described the issue with your Asko, initially it sounds like a faulty inlet/water fill valve...

But, I`d like to clarify the symptom first. Does the unit complete the fill cycle and then do nothing, or it just energizes the fill momentarily then does nothing ?

Also I will ask to verify the model is an Asko 1375 ?

I`l watch for your reply.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

Hi,
Here is a tip the will elaborate on your problem more, but the bottom line is that you need to replace that fill valve...

Check the following to address this issue.

Make sure you get water to the dishwasher. Check to see if the water shut-off valve (located under the sink) is open. If you get water to the dishwasher, but there is still no water inside during the fill cycle, the problem might be with a faulty water valve (located at the bottom of the dishwasher, behind the kick panel, on either side), in which case replace the water valve.

Can you tell if it's filling with water. The first thing it does is fill with water (usually on a timed cycle) before the pump starts. If there's no water in the tub, it obviously won't wash dishes, since a dishwasher is nothing more than an enclosed pressure washer. If it does not fill with water, you may have a bad fill valve or the timer that turns the fill valve on may be defective. You DO have the water turned on, RIGHT?

If it is supposed to be the filling cycle and you have no voltage to the water fill soleniod then a timer contact is not making connection or there is no voltage to the timer relay. Fix it!

I have the same problem
dishwasher seems to try to wash but not get anywhere.
have tried tipping dishwasher to empty excess water out, filters and arms cleaned.
dishwasher just takes in water, hums for a bit and then the cycle ends after about 20 mins but obviously dishes are not clean

It sounds like you have a food blockage or some blockage between where the water fills up and where it goes into the pump you need to take out the water wand (the rotating thing with water coming out) only the bottom one. You need to unscrew the water wand and make sure nothing is blocking in there.

If not then check your filter which should be next to the water wand remove it and then clean it and make sure nothing in in there to block water getting through.

If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask
