Default Ran the dishwasher with no water - now it won't take water in

You *may* have burned out the pump, but it sounds as though the
solenoid is not opening to allow water in. Is this a portable model?


Seems to me that most dishwasher fill from water pressure only (ie valve
simply opens to allow the water to flow) and the pump just recirculates
and/or pumps water out at end of cycles. I would also think that the
dishwashers cycle wouldn't continue unless it had enough water in it. Your
model/mileage may vary though.

I'd be looking at the water inlet valve - it very well may have retired.
