Hello Ben - I understand your dishwasher has power but will
not fill with water. Here are a few simple
troubleshooting tips that may help you resolve this issue:
• Make
sure water supply is turned on. (First check for shut off valve under the
kitchen sink)
• Check
the house circuit breaker or fuse box, reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
• Verify
the inlet hose and make sure it's not twisted.
• Does
float overfill protector (mushroom shaped object in tub) move freely? This is
located in the bottom left front corner of the dishwasher.
• Make
sure the electrical wires going to the water inlet valve have not come off. It
is best to turn off power to the dishwasher before reconnect wires, it doesn't
matter which terminal is off both need to be connected.
• Confirm
that the drain hose is installed correctly. If the drain hose is routed under
the floor as the dishwasher fills water can be drawn from the tub and appear to
have never filled.
• Some
dishwashers use a water pressure switch that will shut off the water valve if
the tub over fills.
If these assessment measures
prove to be ineffective, I would strongly suggest contacting an authorized
service technician who would be better able to assist you in the diagnosis and
repair of your unit. You can often locate an experienced technician in your
area by going to the manufacturer website.

If there's no water entering your dishwasher, check these:Water-inlet valveFloat switchWater-inlet valveThe water-inlet valve lets water enter the machine. If this valve is defective, you need to completely replace it. It's usually located behind the lower access panel on the left or right side. It's the device with the main water line (usually copper) from the house, a rubber tube to the dishwasher, and two wires attached to it.Float switchThe float switch is a small electrical switch that's located right below the dishwasher "floor." Above the switch, on the inside of the dishwasher, is a plastic cylinder that floats up as water fills the dishwasher. If this switch is defective, or if the plastic float gets caught or trapped in the raised position, the water can't enter the dishwasher. If the float switch is defective, you need to replace it. To determine if the float switch has failed, watch the part testing video at the bottom of this page.

id replace the fill valve just because the fill valve selnoid is good doesnt mean the valve seat is not sticking

Contact a professional technician to see if the spray loaded action needs to be replaced with a new cup area.
