No water into the Dishwasher
Our Kenmore dishwasher (Model No. 587.17252200, 18-in portable) will not fill water. I checked the continuity of the fill valve with a ohm meter and I got a reading of 1218 ohms. Toke off the fill valve and connected to power. The metal rod retracted into the coil. So can I assume the fill valve is OK? Next I connected the volt meter at one end of the fill valve plug (white) and the pink power input into the float switch, bypassing the float switch. I got only a reading of about 9 volts. I later check the float switch, it is OK.
I checked the connection between the fill valve, with the door closed, the pink wire is continuous from the fill valve to the timer. I took out the timer and could not see any obvious shorts. Before I buy a new timer, are ther ways I can test the timer to determine that if it is bad. Thanks.
