My Dishwasher keeps filling with water and keeps running into machine even when power is off…. I ordered a new valve coil and fitted the valve and put it on the old body. Is this because I didn’t put it in properly when I changed it around?

Hi Jerry if the appliance was filling with water before and did not stop filling, I don’t think it was the coil that was the problem it sounds like it was the valve itself: this could be caused by a few problems,

 

 

  1.  you did not put it back together correctly
  2.  there is grit in the water valve ‘keeping it open’
  3.  you might have a split in the diaphragm
  4.  the whole valve is worn and needs replacing
