It could be a fill valve or other electrical problems, when it skips the next fill try cancelling and restarting the cycle and see if it again fills for the pre-wash. If it now fills again you have a timer or program switch problem, if it will not fill again for the first pre-wash you have a bad inlet valve or bad over-fill pressure switch. |

When are the scheduled fills for "full cycle"? Does a fill start when the light changes from pre-wash to wash? |

Definitely sounds like a bad fill valve, after the initial fill the coil on the valve gets hot and opens up not allowing it to enegize. Change the valve and you should be good or another 20 years. |
