Hi,
What is the model number of the dishwasher?
Does the dishwasher fill at all? If not have you checked the door latch switch?
by jayeff
@jayeff yes, it fills with no problem

The full model number would really help, so that if parts are required the correct ones for the model can be linked.
Usually found on the door or just above the door on the inside

Why would you replace the water valve if the washer fills?
Why would you replace the drain components if it doesn't even get past the wash cycle?
If it fills but does not wash it could be the control. Some have a drain function. If that doesn't work, the control is highly suspect. If that works it could be a temp sensor where the wash cycle waits for the washer to heat the water to operating temp.

I replaced the water inlet valve because in the beginning, I didn't noticed any sitting water,
& Was told that it may not be getting any water, anyway it's all a learning experience for me, the part was not expensive, won't be.needed again, anyway now there's sitting water at the bottom
