Clean LED not on / No water

Clean LED not on and cycle ends — Dishwasher did not fill with water

KitchenAid · Dishwashers

What does Clean LED not on / No water mean?

If there was no water present in the machine at any time during a heated wash cycle, the cycle will terminate prematurely, and the Clean LED will not illuminate to indicate successful completion. This points to a problem with the dishwasher filling with water.

Common Causes

  • Dishwasher failed to fill with water during a heated wash cycle.
  • Water supply valve closed or partially open.
  • Water inlet hose kinked or blocked.
