Zanussi DWS-949 not filling with water?

My Zanussi DWS-949 is not filling with water. We set it to go on as usual and can hear the sound of the pump but no water enters the machine. Then it just stop
Is this something we can fix ourselves? Something we can get fixed? Or does the dishwasher need replacing?
Many thanks

switch off the machine at the plug , unscrew the cover at the back where the water pipe is conected . unscrew the plate that the water pipe is conected to . remove the small pipe on the top of the soliniod value then replace it and it should work.
