Why is my GE dishwasher not getting any water when I start a cycle?

If your GE dishwasher is not receiving any water when you start a cycle, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are a few common causes to consider:

1. Water supply issue: Check whether the water supply to your dishwasher is turned on. Ensure the water valve connected to your dishwasher is fully open and not restricted.
2. Clogged water inlet valve: A clogged water inlet valve can prevent water from entering the dishwasher. Inspect the valve for any debris or mineral buildup. If necessary, clean or replace the inlet valve.
3. Faulty water inlet valve: If the water inlet valve is malfunctioning or defective, it may need to be replaced. A faulty valve can prevent water from flowing into the dishwasher.
4. Faulty float switch: The float switch is responsible for detecting the water level in the dishwasher. If it is stuck or damaged, it may mistakenly signal that the dishwasher is already full of water, preventing any additional water from entering. Check and replace if needed.
5. Blocked or kinked water supply line: Inspect the water supply line connected to your dishwasher for any obstructions, such as blockages or kinks. Clear any blockages or straighten out kinks to allow water flow.
6. Defective control board: A malfunctioning control board can disrupt the water flow to your dishwasher. If other potential causes have been ruled out, it may be necessary to have a professional examine and replace the control board.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and your GE dishwasher still does not receive any water during a cycle, it is recommended to contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and resolve the issue.
