Trying to find correct fill time and water level (for starters...) for our dishwasher.
Our dishes sometimes come out with grainy residue, like detergent didn't finish dissolving. Water level seems low. Float seemed fine, but inlet valve screen had a good bit of debris on it. Cleaned and re-installed screen, to no effect. Also, some buttons on the control panel are not responding.
Faulty inlet valve, control module, and/or low water pressure (and control panel too)? Have found inconsistent time and level info online. Based on certain posts and a Technical Service Guide for apparently similar models, I think the time is supposed to be 50 or 71 seconds and the level to the notch at 3 o'clock on the float dome (anywhere from bottom to top of notch). I've timed ours at around 40 seconds (maybe 41-43 - haven't been precise with it yet) and it only gets up to that dome by adding a pitcher of water (about a pitcher and a half to the top of the notch).
I suspect that info I found is valid for our model but would much rather proceed with info that actually is for our model.
So,
1. Can someone confirm that or provide correct time and level info?
2. Would there be any other reason for low fill time than faulty control module?
3. Would there be any other reason for dead buttons than faulty control panel?
