    Diswasher won't start
    My GE dish washer starts once the buttons are pushed and after 2 minutes stops - no water has been poured into the dishwasher.

    Put your test leads on the wire that feeds the water valve solenoid under the front left corner of the unit. When you pres the start bottun do you get a power reading going to the solenoid?

    Did you test for power on the fill solenoid or are you just assuming power because the motor starts. I need to see if the fill solenoid is getting the signal to open.
