Just a couple of quick questions regarding fill and fill times. 1. Am I correct in assuming that this dishwasher has a timed fill period? Or is it perhaps level based. From what I have manually timed, it appears to be very close to two minutes. I presume the float is only a safety mechanism to prevent any overfill situations 2. What should the proper/correct water level be immediately after a fill cycle? I recently had some plumbing work done with the DHW supply line and the plumber didn't purge the DHW line properly when he was done. I realized this after I found sediment in my bathroom faucet shortly after he left. I DID purge it correctly at that point. I am pretty sure the dishwasher wasn't run prior to me flushing the DHW line. But I don't want to pull the dishwasher out unless I have good reason too. Thank you.

I am working on a Dishwasher ..... a Kenmore ( Whirlpool ) Model #66514563N610 Sears was out there and told him he needed a new control board and gave the guy an estimate of over $400. Anyway, thru a friend I get the call, I did not check what Sears actually did (mistake #1) and installed the new control board that the customer ordered. After installing the part I notice that the DW is not filling correctly, I cleaned the Screen, and it helped a lot. However the fill level is still not high enough and the pressure/ float switch is not being activated. I checked the fill pressure and the line to the valve has amazing water pressure so I need a new valve. The Part Number of the new valve is Part: W10327250 and the cost is $56.00. Is there a Universal Valve that I can put into this DW, it has the molex connector and has the "Garden Hose" fitting.

I gotta run this call tomorrow so kinda in a rush... Thanks I found this one Whirlpool W10648041 Inlet Valve for $38 , it should work...but looking for a cheap one that will work
