Default Dishwasher not filling

Our 15 year old Bosch dishwasher has stopped filling although the

Haynes Dishwasher manual suggests a pressure system fault is most
likely but it's pretty vague about how to diagnose/solve the problem
--- "The pressure system has no standard design or location" --- so
I'm struggling to know what I should investigate next.

I can't see an obvious, separate pressure switch but there is a large
plastic matrix behind the side panel.

Any pointers as to likely problem / location / solution would be much
appreciated.


I suspect the water level switch might be that big white job in the
middle of the 2nd pic. You've got a water cavity with what looks like
a float that operates it.

I'm guessing you resistance tested the solenoid. Check if its getting
voltage when the pwoer is on and wash cycle starting.
