Food kept coming out dirty after 3 tries.  I got out the manual, ruled
out obvious items (float valve, e.g.) then checked the water input
since
there wasn't any in the bottom.   I felt around the hole's exterior,
scraped a
little calcium? off, re-started dishwasher. Nada.

There is NO discussion of this problem in the manual.  I called
the help line; got somebody who said he had no idea.
So, does anybody have suggestions for diagnosing why
no water comes in?  And is it repairable by unhandy moi
or nabe handyman?

TIA

The water valve is electrically operatored.  The solenois may be bad or the
control that sends the power to the valve may be bad.  Do you hear a click?
The valve is in the front behind the lower panel.
check to see if power is going toit as step one.

If my friend doesn't use his dishwasher for a time,
the water valve will stick and rapping on it frees
it up. I take off the front cover at the bottom and
it's right there.

Thanks to you as well, but I use the dishwasher at
least 3-4x a week (per recommendation to run
only full loads to save water & energy).
