Water not entering the washing machine: safe checks

Identify water-supply issues without opening the washer.

Before starting

Use only the instructions supplied for your exact model. If there is a leak, smoke, hot wiring or gas smell, stop and seek qualified help.

1. Check household supply

Try another tap first. If there is no household water, address the supply outage. Otherwise check the washer inlet valve.

2. Inspect hose

Look for twists, crushing or damage without moving the unit dangerously. Do not disconnect a pressurized hose.

3. Clean only user-accessible screens

Turn off water and power, then follow the model manual. Do not remove screens without instructions.

4. How to interpret the result

If water is available but the model-specific inlet code returns, a professional may need to inspect the inlet control. Codes are not universal.
