Dishwasher not filling with water

Please help!

I just had to disconect the water supply under the sink by turning the mains tap off. When I turned it back on again the dishwasher is refusing to take in water. The water supply is def back on again as It runs through the taps and to the washing machine.

It was fine a few minutes ago!!

Have I made an airlock or something? How do I fix it? :(

    Yay I fixed it! When I turned the water supply off earlier the plastic tap must have snapped so when I thought I had turned the water supply to the dishwasher back on I had just turned the broken tap not actually opened the valve. I bought a new valve and replaced the plastic tap and hey presto!

    Now all I need to do is fix the broken washing machine which is also not drawing water and caused the water problem this morning..... hee hee
