In most cases that problem could be solved, by replacing the water inlet valve. Let’s check together how to replace it. 

1.  Unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker for the dishwasher. To verify that power is disconnected, make sure the control panel doesn’t light up when you press a control button or the power button. Find the water supply valve for the dishwasher under the sink (or in the basement). Close the valve to shut off the water supply going to the dishwasher.
2. With the dishwasher door open, remove the Torx screws from the inner door panel. Support the outer door panel with one hand as you remove the final 2 screws so the outer door panel doesn't fall. Separate the outer door panel and control panel slightly from the inner door panel, and rest the outer panel on the floor while you disconnect the user interface control wire harness from the control panel. Pull off the outer door panel and control panel.
3. Using a nut driver, remove the screws that hold the bottom front access panel and toe panel in place. Pull the access panel and the toe panel forward and remove them.
4. Place a towel under the water inlet valve. Remove the dishwasher water supply line from the inlet valve assembly using the channel-lock pliers. Wipe up any spilled water.
5. Remove the water inlet valve mounting screw and pull the water inlet valve out of the mounting bracket. Pull the water inlet valve slightly forward to access the wire harness and water inlet tube connections. Release the locking tab and disconnect the water inlet valve wire harness. Release the wire clamp on the water inlet tube and pull the inlet tube off the water inlet valve. Remove the water inlet valve.
6. Connect the water inlet tube to the new water inlet valve and secure the inlet tube with the wire clamp. Plug in the wire harness. Place the water inlet valve in the bracket and secure it with the mounting screw.
7. Connect the water supply line to the water valve and tighten it securely using channel-lock pliers. Open the water supply valve and check the water supply line connection for leaks. Tighten the water supply line connection to stop leaks. Open the water supply valve and check the water supply line connection for leaks. Tighten the water supply line connection to stop leaks.
