Your Model Number is incomplete
Cannot find any info using it

This is a common problem with clothes washers but rare for dishwashers.

Remove the kick panel
Remove the plug from the fill valve
Does it still fill?
If it does your fill valve is stuck open and needs replacing

REPLACE THE VALVE

If it sticks once, it will stick again
This could result in a flood
