How Can I Fix Dishwasher Water Valve Issues?

Inspect the Water Valve: Locate the water valve in your dishwasher and inspect it for any visible signs of damage or leaks. If you notice any issues, it may be time to replace the valve.

Check for Clogs: Remove any debris or sediment that may be clogging the water valve. This can improve water flow and prevent leaks.

Replace the Water Valve: If the water valve is damaged or leaking, it will need to be replaced. Refer to your dishwasher’s manual or seek professional help for this task.
