It fills with water, runs for 3seconds and stops, then repeats this 3-4x and then shuts down completely?
Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
The problem is with the float switch assembly
that is bad and needs replacement. A float switch
on a dishwasher is designed for one thing, to stop the water flow from the
dishwashers water valve. To access the dishwasher float switch regardless
of the make or model, 99% of dishwashers are accessed from behind the toe kick
panel i.e by removing the front bottom access panel. When the timer or main control call for
water, power is sent through the float switch wires, when the dishwasher has
filled up raising the plastic mushroom looking piece high enough, the switch
will stop power from getting to the water valve. That is the idea behind the
switch, to further test this switch with a volt meter you can view this video:
