Philadelphia's water is moderately hard, so scale builds slowly on a dishwasher's spray arms, heating element and inlet valve. A white film on glasses is the early sign; a dishwasher that stops filling or heating needs a repair.
Basement laundry down a narrow stair is the norm here, and long-held homes often still have their original shutoff valves.

How a dishwasher cleans with so little water
A modern dishwasher uses only a few gallons per cycle and recirculates them. An inlet valve fills a sump at the bottom of the tub, the water is warmed by a heating element or arrives hot from the supply, and a circulation pump sends it through the spray arms at pressure. Food particles are caught by a filter on the way back into the sump. At the end of each wash and rinse, a drain pump pushes the water out through the drain hose, and a drying phase uses heat, a fan or residual warmth plus rinse aid to finish.
Most modern machines also use a turbidity or soil sensor that judges how dirty the water is and adjusts the cycle length. That is why a dishwasher may run noticeably longer on one load than another, and why a clogged filter or a failing sensor can make cycles stretch out for no obvious reason.
Dishwashers also protect themselves. A float switch or a leak sensor in the base will stop the fill and sometimes run the drain pump if water collects where it should not, and many models will show an error code and refuse to start until the base pan is dry. If your machine suddenly will not begin a cycle after a spill or a leak, that safety may be the reason.
