My dishwasher will not fill with water. I have checked the inlet value which is open.

Hi Becky,

There is probably a blockage in the U-Bend under the sink. You should be able to clear this without any tools. Just unscrew the 2 rings holding the U-bend on.
If there is no blocakge there then it is somewhere further down the pipe and you should be able to tell after removing the U-bend. (keep a bucket underneath when doing this).

I hope that helps,
VJ
