Increasing fill time on timed fill dishwasher

[adam-aussie-vac]

Hey guys so my little Israeli made dishwasher does not take in enough water, is there anything I can do to Have it to fill up at the bottom of the dishwasher more? I thought about using a delay timer on the wires going into the solenoid valve so that way when It calls for water it will add a bit more water on top of the normal amount the dishwasher normally Put into the tank

Is

your water pressure otherwise OK? You might have sediment in the supply line.

My water pressure is okay

They just never seems to be enough water and that’s the only issue

What is the  inflow like?

If it is filling slow, your inlet valve strainer may be a bit blocked, or the rubbers in the solenoids may be getting old and hard. (very common.)

I'd try replacing the solenoid with a known-good one.

 

Is it definitely timed fill? It looks too new for such old-fashioned technology. Is there no pressure switch?

There’s no pressure switch on it, and it fills

For roughly about 11 seconds

If this is a small machine that sits on the counter and connects to the faucet try cleaning the areiator on the faucet. Could be full of grit.

It’s not the aerator, it’s hooked up to a hot water line

I’ll check the filter when I get home
