first of all....Welcome!
lets search out water pressure/flow first....as some machines can have a pressure switch as to not allow an overflow, they also can have a certain time frame to add water to a machine..... some of those faucet adapters have a restrictor in them, usually only allows 2 gallons per minute, which in many times is not enough for a dishwasher.... unscrew that off the faucet, and remove that little restrictor disc....just to see if that may allow more water to enter... also....where the hose connects to the water valve under the machine, sometimes there is a screen in there that needs cleaned out.... | ||

Portable DW Use Hi Billz, When you use a portable DW you should open your kitchen Hot water valve only fully.
To test your homes water pressure through the faucet and cuppler and hoses remove the DWs lower service panel, then disconnect the hot water inlet hose at the inlet valve. Direct this hose into a 5 gallon bucket and turn on the hot water faucet fully and run the water for exactly one minute, if you get at least two gallons of water in the bucket your sink faucet and hook-up is good.
At this point test the power going to the inlet valve as the DW runs through a cycle, if the timer is supplying 120 volts to the inlet valve for around 60 seconds each time the DW calls for water and you are still not getting around 2 gallons of water in the bottom of the DW you have a bad inlet valve.
You can remove and disassemble the inlet valve and check for a clogged screen [ very rare ] but you most likley need a new valve diaphragm or a complete valve if you can find one.

Did you flush out the water hose? If not I'll bet the valve is plugged again. It's normal for the valve to get warm. Wires doesn't matter witch goes where. | ||
