So this DW started having issues about 6 mo ago. It occasionally would not complete the Sensor cycle. There would be steamy dishes but the detergent would still be clumped on the silverware tray on the door. Then the Sensor cycle stopped working but the 1-hr wash would work.
This is our 3rd DW in 10 yrs - diff brand each time so I don't expect much these days.... But then the 1-hr cycle stopped working. Ran diagnostics and no error code. Replaced water valve and still nothing. Then I decided to lay on the floor to feel and listen to the DW do its thing when I selected start and close the door. I can feel and hear the water valve open and water flowing through it and filling up the tub. I thought it was fixed.
Then about 20 later I opened the door and Nothing! Nothing was happening. I canceled then restarted the 1hr cycle but I opened the door during the fill time. There was water in the bottom! After doing this a few times it appears that the water flows into the tub but then right back out. I assume there is a timer that shuts the water off is the fill sensor does not respond in a pre determined amount of time. Help? Not sure what to replace next...
