A technician in navy dungarees, a white T-shirt and a cap kneels at a front-loading washing machine, reaching into the open drum with a wrench in hand and a tool belt at his waist.

Likely causes

  1. 1

    Tap closed or low pressure

    Most likely

    The water supply tap is closed or pressure is too low.

  2. 2

    Blocked inlet filter

    Common

    Scale or debris blocks the filter behind the hose connection.

  3. 3

    Faulty inlet valve

    Less likely

    The valve does not open when the board calls for water.

Safe checks you can try first

Switch the appliance off at the wall and wait two minutes before checking filters or hoses. Never open the appliance housing or touch internal wiring. If water or burning smells are present, stop and call us.
