5. Remove the filter with needlenose pliers.
6. Clean or replace the filter as necessary. See Section 050-4.1.
Cause:
Water inlet valve defective.
Remedy:
Check the water inlet valve for proper operation by performing the following
steps:
1. Ensure that the water supply is open and that there is access to the valve
housing.
2. Select and start a wash program.
3. After the drain step (30 seconds), the water inlet step will begin. Wrap
your hand around the valve housing. If you feel a mild vibration, then the
valve is receiving power. Replace the WPS valve (Section 050-4.2). If not,
then go to the next step.
4. Remove the drip pan and check the electrical connector to the inlet valves
(mounted on the left toekick) for power. If power is present, then check
the connectors and wiring. If not, then go to the next step.
5. Check for power coming off of the electronic board. If no power, then
replace the electronic board. If power is present, check wiring from
electronic board to electrical connector. Replace and repair as necessary.
