Possible Causes

• Water supply valves turned off or partially closed • Kinked or pinched inlet hoses restricting water flow • Inlet hose screens clogged with sediment or mineral deposits • Low water pressure from home supply line • Faulty water inlet valve not opening properly • Damaged or disconnected inlet hose connections • Water supply issue specific to your home's plumbing • Inlet valve solenoid malfunction • Washer door or lid not fully closed, triggering safety lockout
🛡️

Precautionary measures

• Verify both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open (turn counterclockwise) • Check that the washer door or lid is completely closed and latched securely • Inspect both inlet hoses for kinks, pinches, or bends that restrict water flow • Look at the inlet hose connection points to ensure they are tight and not leaking • Disconnect inlet hoses and check the screens inside the hose connectors for debris or sediment buildup; rinse screens if needed • Test water pressure at your home's other faucets to confirm adequate supply • Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent as excessive suds can affect water detection • Check that the washing load is balanced and not overstuffed • Verify your home's circuit breaker is in the ON position for the washer outlet • Perform a complete reset: turn off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turn it back on and attempt a new wash cycle • If the F4 error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service to diagnose potential inlet valve issues or internal sensor problems
