Any dishwasher buffs out there? Ours has stopped working. I'll describe the 
symptoms if anyone thinks they can help.

Its a Hotpoint. When you switch on it seems to run and then it just stops 
and there is no water in it.  IIRC at some point soon in the cycle it would 
be pumping water out. I think it should let water in thro' the softener and 
then pump it out, but this doesn't happen.

Some possibilities...
Water supply turned off or failed.
Burned out water solenoid valve (check if it gets any power).
Worn out programmer, failing to switch solenoid valve anymore.
Broken cable -- very common if programmer is in the door and
the cables flex in the door hinge.

Programmer won't advance until the water level switch tells it
the water level is up to the required fill level.

That was it, Andrew. Broken cables. Now sorted, and thank you for your great 
help.
