If your Bosch dishwasher isn't filling with water, the issue might be due to a clogged water supply valve or a faulty water inlet valve. First, check to make sure the water supply valve under the sink is fully open. If it is, then inspect the filter screens inside the water inlet valve for any blockages and clean them if necessary. If these solutions don't fix the problem, the water inlet valve might need to be replaced. Always remember to disconnect the dishwasher from the power source before attempting any repairs.
