Possible Causes

• Water inlet valve malfunction or partial blockage • Clogged or kinked inlet hoses restricting water flow • Closed or partially closed water supply shutoff valves • Low water pressure from main supply line • Debris or mineral buildup in inlet filters or screens • Faulty water level sensor or pressure switch • Electrical connection issues to inlet solenoid valves • Broken or defective inlet hose connection fittings • Circuit breaker tripped affecting washer electrical supply
🛡️

Precautionary measures

• Verify the circuit breaker for your washer is in the ON position; if tripped, flip it OFF for 60 seconds, then back ON • Check both hot and cold water shutoff valves behind the washer are fully open by turning counterclockwise • Inspect both inlet hoses for visible kinks, pinches, or bends that may restrict water flow • Ensure the washer door or lid is completely closed and latched with an audible click • Look for any visible leaks or water pooling around inlet hose connections at the back of the washer • Verify adequate water pressure by turning on a nearby faucet to confirm normal water supply • Remove and inspect inlet hose screens (located where hoses connect to water valves) for debris or mineral deposits • Confirm the washer is not in a pause or standby mode by reviewing the control panel display • Run a test cycle with an empty drum to determine if water fills normally • Power off the washer at the circuit breaker for a full 60-second reset, then power back on and attempt a new cycle • If error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician to inspect and service the water inlet system
