Washing problems With A KDS-17

Check to be sure the machine is filling with enough water, if you open the door during a wash or rinse you should have water up to about the top of the filter.

If you are not sure if it is getting enough water open the door after it has filled for wash or rinse and add one gallon of hot water, if the sound of the machine changes to a steadier sound you probably have a bad inlet valve.

A bad inlet valve is one of the most common problems on an older DW like this.

John...(or anyone who may know)

So last night when I ran my KDM-21 it filled weird. When I selected the cycle it started filling like normal but towards the end of the fill, the water slowed down to almost a trickle (I could still hear it going in). Normally it fills pretty forcefully then goes right into heat mode. Could this be the inlet valve? Do you have a part number by chance if it is...and is it easy to replace...like without removing the dishwasher.
