In your third photo, the inlet valve is the white plastic assembly which is attached with a metal bracket and two screws to the cross member running along the front of the machine. It is immediately to the right of the "NOTE" decal. It also has the copper pipe attached to it, which is your hot water source.

Don't loose the washer that's underneath if it's still there. | ||

It took some hard pulling, but it came up. No washer was present. I found some broken glass in there, but nothing that seemed to have been burning.

 There's the heating element Steve was wondering about.
Since a single valve supplies both the machine and your sink faucet, if you have hot water at the sink, then you should also have hot water at the inlet valve. It's only a temporary inconvenience if there's no hot water at the sink while you have the inlet valve pulled for inspection and testing.
I would check the inlet screen first. Crud can build up there and reduce the flow of water to almost nothing. Otherwise it might be a solenoid issue. | ||

@bigalsf, that was it! When I had previously tried turning the timer, I hadn't released the latch. I didn't realize that there is a hard reset. Once I followed your instructions, I heard the normal sounds. Thanks so much to everyone for helping diagnose this issue! Best, Brandt | ||

You’re welcome. Glad it worked. This is a great dishwasher, built like a tank! With proper use (& care) it will last you many years. Enjoy! | ||
