I ran it last night on the second cycle after I did the reset, so its still typical for it to be recalibrating after a few regular wash cycles?
Maytag Jetclean Still underfilling after new water inlet valve replacement

I might consider resetting one more time and let it do its thing. I emailed you the tech sheet, read it over. There likely is a paper copy of it behind you toe kick.
Before doing any of that, I would disconnect that water supply at the inlet valve and test the flow rate.

lets go back and start over and try to figure a few things out......
forget about what the last dishwasher did, that may have had a different programming or time frame to allow filling.......
starting with this new one, how long is the time frame it is allowing for that valve to be open to allow it to fill?....my KitchenAid TT only allows 60 seconds..
second.....household water pressure.....with the aerator removed, turn on the hot water.....can it fill a gallon of water in roughly around 30 seconds?...I have extremely high water pressure, so I cant exactly give you a comparison...
next your going to want to check the water valve and supply hose to make sure you are getting proper flow and pressure to the machine.....
wondering, if you were to allow the machine to fill, then stop it, cancel and re-start the cycle....will it drain first, or allow it to add more water and continue on?....
I am just wondering if that machine is just not good for your particular application.....and that it may not be a machine error at all.....
lets just try to go step by step...and rule out a few things....obviously it runs fine if you add more water.....
most machines obviously are time fill, the overflow/pressure switch is only there for cases like mine, where it fills faster than the time allowed, and so it doesn't overflow....
lets see if we can get to the bottom of this......

My dishwasher is fine now, the reset calibrated. So its working normally now. Anyway, the dishwasher has a fill time of 75 seconds. and while installing the new dishwasher, we had to rip the old water line out from under the sink and install a completely new one. I honestly have thought for a while that it isnt even a machine defect, it could be my water supply.
With you doing the reset, a 20 minute main wash sounds about right for when the sensor detects low amount of soil.

Yep...
I just ran it, this is the third time its ran since the reset, and it completed the cycle normally. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I am definitely thinking its a issue within the water from under my sink. I doubt its the dishwasher itself.
