Not Filling With Water - Dishwasher

Possible Solutions

Is the water supply valve turned off?

The water supply valve must be turned on for the dishwasher to fill.

Is the door open or unlatched?  Is the START/RESUME indicator flashing?

If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes.  Resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.  

Is the loop at the end of the drain hose at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor?

Your dishwasher could be siphoning. Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor.
