Default Kenmore dishwasher not filling
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 587.16079200

I have a Kenmore dishwasher of unknown vintage (came with the house), but it does have an electronic control panel.
There is no water going into the dishwasher. I've replaced the inlet valve and checked the float switch, so I think those two items can be ruled out. The water is turned on and the line to the valve is good. There is power to the panel, and the pump starts running when the wash cycle is started. As far as I can tell with my abused but operable meter, I'm not getting any voltage to the inlet valve at the start of the cycle.

What are the odds of the electronic timer going out?
I don't think there were any significant events (odd noise, smoke, cat(s) inadvertently left in for wash cycle, flames, power problems, etc.) before it stopped working.

Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

Pull out the service info below kick panel and verify no voltage going out of the electronic module for the water valve. No voltage=new module time.

Did the unit work before you purchased the house and also did it work at all when you moved in?
