If your dishwasher is not filling with water, there are a few easy things you can do to resolve this issue. Below you’ll find some of the typical reasons for your dishwasher not filling, the parts involved, and some advice on how to fix the problem yourself.
1. Water supply
Check if the dishwasher water supply valve is switched on before proceeding. It is easy to forget to switch it on, especially after coming back from a holiday. Be sure to also inspect for any visible damage.
2. Kinked or blocked hose
Inspect the dishwasher supply hose and untwist any visible kinks or bends.

3. Low water pressure
Check the water pressure directly from the tap using a bucket. Approximately 10 litres of water per minute should flow out of the tap when fully open. Contact your fitter if the water pressure is too low.
