OK, so I had a handyman at my place the other day to install my new
kitchen faucet, among other things.

Works *great, looks great (aside from the fact that now my sink looks
like crap next to the shiny new faucet). I went out, my husband
decided to start the dishwasher.

I came home maybe 15 minutes after he started it, and it sounded funny
to me. I opened it, and there was no water in it. I've tried a few
times since then, and the darned thing won't fill.

I suspect that it ran a bit with the water shutoff under the sink in
the closed position. But if it's open now, it should work right?
Unless a) running it while water was shut off did something terrible
to the dishwasher we just bought in January, or b) running it while
water was shut off caused an airlock of some kind in the line which
simply needs to be cleared.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Obviously if everything was working fine previously then the handyman
caused this malfunction and should be called back to diagnose the
problem. *Check this site: *http://www.appliance411.com/parts/partslists.shtml
....and see if there is a reset button on your unit. *If anything
running it without water may have triggered the valve to shut off.
Fill the washer with water by hand and set it to the drain cycle and
see if the water gets pumped out. *Without the make and model it's
very hard to diagnose it here.- Hide quoted text -

I did try unplugging the unit to see if that would help, and I am
going to call back handyman guy to fix it if I can't get it going. The
machine still does make noise when turned on, so that would suggest
that the fuse is not blown, n'est pas? I have an older fuse box with
plug fuses.

It wasn't immediately apparent to me which setting was OFF for the
water (yes, insert *duh* here). So I tried running it both ways,
neither will fill it.

Meanwhile, I'll give putting water into it manually a go, see if that
will help. The dishwasher is a Whirlpool, model GU2300XTSQ.

Good to know that it's unlikely WE did anything to kill it by simply
running it. Hopefully it's not a serious problem! Thanks for the
suggestions.
