This tutorial is for when a washing machine will not fill with water but works OK on spin. If your machine does not fill at the start or stops in mid cycle with no water in the drum or it won’t rinse then there is normally a problem with the water intake system. If you've come to this article because your washer won’t do anything then you might want to look this article on door locks.

Brilliant. Clear, concise and easily understood. Bought a cheap multimeter and used it to prove one of the solenoids was faulty. Bought a cheap, new and genuine part of ebay, fitted it as per the video. Back in business and no service engineer charges. Thanks again, fantastic.
Followed this video to the letter and it walked perfectly. Clear, concise and saved me a bunch. Thank you for posting.
Struggling with my washer for 3 days and BINGO i have a kinked valve unfrickin beleivable! Thanks a bunch
Great video! Thank you so much you helped me avoid an awkward conversation with the seller when I realised I had a kink in the hose!
Very helpful and pointed me in the right direction. Here's a warning for anyone moving a washing machine - don't transport it on its back. I did this today and accidentally severed all the wiring from the intake valves to the motherboard. Consequently, although the machine appeared to perform normally other than there was no water getting in. I only noticed this after following all Paul's tip to diagnose the water issue. Another small point is that I couldn't get connectivity across the terminals of the intake valves but was fairly sure they were ok as I checked my old Indesit solenoids too and they were exactly the same. Perhaps something peculiar to Indesit machines? They are working now the wiring is connected so not really sure why I couldn't get a circuit.
You saved my machine. There was no water flowing in and I did check the incoming water filter and it was full of sand. Now my machine is working like new. Thanks a lot!!!
Hi, your clip on changing the carbon contacts in a Beko has just saved my washer machine. For this reason I will send you some money for a beer. Top job 👍 thanks.

Hi good video review. My washing machine goes on a cycle , but clothes come out damp. Will check valves. Cheers
Check the filter
Exvellent video. To the point. Well done! Thank you!
Great video. Very informative and well presented.
Thanks for the great video
Clean both of the screens in each inlet inside the washer hose inlet. There are two screens for each cold and hot on the washer.. One is inside the machine inlet that you can't see, and one outside the machine that you can barely see, it has a tab you pull out. Use a flashlight and look inside the inlet tube or nipple that's threaded, after you take the first screen off you'll see it.. My inside screen was clogged bad, so I just took it out with a flathead screwdriver, and eliminated it totally. Both hoses were good, I saved some money, didn't need new hoses... All fixed.
excellent details
Thanks a ton man! Our washing machine stopped pumping water in it so i checked your video and tested everything and I think I'm up to something. Its the small red pressure switch, I think. After blowing in it it clicks but when i attached it and tried the washing machine again. I noticed it clicks really fast after which the water stops flowing in (it switches in the inlet coils to stop water flowing). So then i removed the air tube from it and tried it again. Basically there can never be pressure on it that way and the water kepts flowing.
Now the big question. Should I replace the pressure switch or is there still something different that can cause the switch to click?
Thanks for the explanation,it was a great help.

Fisher and Paykel Model WH60F60WV1 Starts fills with water pauses for 5-10 mins then pumps out
Could it be the pressure valve not putting in enough water
Thank you, mister!

I just bought a washing machine, LG front loader.The water system that I installed , no problem because I checked the hose, the water speed is ok. But when I started washing the indecator showed that the water is not enough. How can I repare this?
Thanks sir !
I have a restricted flow of water very slow filling, could this still be a faulty valve? I have checked the water pressure and cleaned the filters and it’s all fine.
Hi Paul, what if you have hot water filling the drum and nothing coming out of the cold water? Thoughts?
What about if the washing machine doesn’t fill
Up with enough water ? My sinks won’t drain the water down fast
And my dishwasher leaves water behind in the machine
Also not enough shower pressure.
There is no power hears relay click but wires are fine valves are good swapped and also tried the pressure switch what could it be
Not sure if this is washer related but basically the water in my house runs fine except for the cold water from the lever tap in the kitchen. I believe the washer is also connected to the wiring and the tap literally dribbles out cold water. Because of this the washing machine is unable to fill up with water. What could the problem be here?
My washing machine doesn't work on ANY wash cycle. It's a Hotpoint and has just flashed a F1 error and said it is blocked. I just checked the filter on the bottom of the washing machine and just water came out, nothing else stuck there. I'm going to have a look at the filter on the back and pull it out like you just showed and hope that is it. Would appreciate any help. Thanks
Same same problam Fi error
I have an E7
THANK YOU very much boss keep up the good work brother

Our Samsung Nano is not filling up with sufficient water for the wash cycle. What could be wrong?
Joe in Johnannesbug
Hello I have any E17 error code and my washing machine digital dial freezes in the diagnostic mode. Can do spin or anything
mine is a Kenmore front load washer that it will get water in to the machine only when manually put it on spin cycle and that will work fine or rinse and spin but when I switch to a normal wash won't get water in and the washer suddenly start washing with out water after 2 it will drop down washing time from 54 min to like 2 min and no water at all any suggestions?
My drainage is blocked (bath water wont go down) now my washing machine won't fill up with water, is this because of the bath? Are they linked? Thanks
My Beko Washer was filling and draining simultaneously! I pulled the drain hose a little so that it is not too deep into the machine (to avoid siphoning) then raised the hose a bit coz i was draining on the bathroom floor and it worked ( literally hang it on a bucke)t😜!!!
I'm hoping you can help me with this problem. I have a samsung top load washer (wa40j3000aw) and the hot water doesn't work, I have tested the solenoid and the water lines all work fine. My problem is the connector, the cold water line is getting 120 volts (american standard) but the extra rinse and hot water only get 40 volts. So I know its a problem with the wiring, I just don't know what to replace to fix that problem?
Any ideas on the reason a water valve would turn on and off repeatedly and give read out on the lcd
Hi, any one can get me the user manual, operating instruction of WMC 61013 ER - Westpoint front loading washing machine.

HI PLZ CONFROM WHAT PROBLEM IN SAMSUNG FRONT LOAD WASHING NOT CALLECT WATER
I need help ,my new Samsung washing machine when washing turns or spin less than 3seconds to wash every 1minute compared to the traditional machine that washes and spin longer. What should I do now!soo much dirt in the clothes after wash
I have indesit washing machine model LB2006TRF. It will fill water just for a few second to a minute then stop but the machine will still be washing for some minutes until you see h20 error code. I checked with my multi meter and saw that when the water stops flowing, power supply to the inlet valve will totally be cut off which stops the water flowing.
Now could it be the pressure sensor faulty?The water hose isn't blocked as well. Could it again be the hose to the pressure sensor or what? Please advise me. Thanks
Yep my plumber who was fixing the tap kinked my hose of washing machine lol thank you for this video

Stuggling with my washer for a day. After checking the pipes, I got ready to start taking things apart... And then realised I'd accidentally left the timer/delay on.
glad we could help
Most importantly ... is that a Fluke 77? I have one from around 1994 :) :) :) All the "experts" kept telling me "it's old - you need to replace it" ... I just replaced the battery and hey presto! All fixed. Current generation have no idea how to fix things other than to ask Mum and Dad to sort it out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
good video
Great video! I do have one technical question. What happens if you try to do a cycle without any water supply, say there is temporary water shutdown? Obviously the valves will open, buzzing noise from the electricity that activates the coil will be heard, the machine will try to pull water, but there won't be any causing the machine to stop and show error. My question is, how much damage (if any) can this cause to the machine? Asking for technical knowledge. Thanks!
On old machines it would just stop on newer it will come up with error code. but you can't do any damage
hoover machine 9kg e03 error jnbloked coins fitted new pump cycle starts nog much water but e03 again i set to drain only filled 2l in tank it stop neaf end of drain e03 any ideas
My washing machine IFB not washing clothes always indicate tap but water didn't come what can do sir already water will be full in water tank
hi
My Beko machine stops after work seconds of water filling and then the whole cycle is cancelled after another two to three minutes. The spin cycle does work though. What to do?
After trying to fix broken faucet I took out the water main out and then tried to reinsert it with the water on despite all the wet spray. Could it be that the water spray got all the electric valves wet and they need to dry off?
dear sir i have LG top loading T1232AFFSP5 washing machine i want to take signal from the washing machine to electric contactor to operate water electric motor automatic . in my old machine i take the volt on the inlet valve and connect it to the contactor which control the water pump when the valve open the water pump on and vise virsa .
so now iam afraid from the new machine because it has electric board not analog like before also now i have 4 inlet valves so i have 4 different signal i have to manage . do you have any ideas please help .regards
Does anyone know what the smallish circuit board (whith one connector) attached by
two plastic lugs underneath of the triple inlet valve on AEG washer-dryer is for?
Are you meaning a separate circuit board not attached to the water valve in anyway because sometimes the manufacturers have circuit boards on the water valve
Hi I have a problem with my washing machine, all mechanism works well , but no water flow in , please help me with step by step to diagnose the problem ,,, tks
My Bosch washer dryer has a separate circuit board clipped to the valve assembly, what is this for? Also three out of four valves gave a reading of 5 ma while the fourth read 4 ma?
Hi
My whirlpool frontload machine is not taking main wash water .its only taking prewash water. Please advise.

how can solve waching machine don't dry
Hi the problem with my aeg front loader is the water is going straight to the drainage and spilling out the filter on the bottom when you put it on any cycle. It’s bypassing the machine and going straight to drain
Please help me
@@ethanisles4098 I have the same experience, I followed this advise and it worked!!
"Answer: Your washer DRAIN HOSE is causing a siphoning condition. Your washing machine drain hose is pushed way too far into the stand pipe in the wall. There needs to be an air gap and by having the drain pipe pushed too far there is no air gap. This creates a vacuum or siphoning affect and the water is pulled out of the washer as it fills with water. What you need to do is pull the drain hose out of the stand pipe and put it back in making sure it is not in the wall too far or too deep. There needs to be a bend at the apex of the drain hose. It needs to be above the height of the wash tub. Once you have the drain pipe or hose in the exact position you need it to be in to not cause siphoning, tie the drain hose to the water fill hoses with a plastic zip tie so it can’t fall back down deep or pull out".

What is this problem if washing machine loads and unloads water just after 2 circle ?
Hi,I have a Hoover optima WMH147 DF. The problem that I have is that the machine is not filling, no water flows at all. I've checked the water pressure, checked for kinks in the hose, checked the filter in the inlet, then eventually changed the valves / solenoids all of which has not remedied the problem. I've checked with a very basic voltage tester that the solenoids are getting electricity, and they are. The machine will run through a spin cycle with no problem but will not do a wash because of the above fault. I'm now thinking of changing the pressure switch, is there any point? and after that I'm buying a new machine. Any advice would be most welcome.
+kevin connolly Hi, I've got the same machine and have already had to replace the circuit board. I now have the same problem as you. Have you managed to get it sorted? Your advice would be most welcome. Thank you.
+Christine Austin
Hi , sorry I have no advice for you. I eventually give up and bought a new machine, extremely annoying! I tested the pressure switch and found no fault. concluded that it must be the board and at that point give up. worst machine I've ever had.
+Christine Austin check wiring on the back of machine going to the water valve i have see a lot worn where the concrete has touched the wiring
Does anyone know how to adjust the water levels on the Bosch type in this video ? I have that and would like to alter it to increase water levels. Is there a way of doing it on this ?
The only way you can do this is adjust the settings on the pressure switch if it is a mechanical type if it is not, then you would not be able to do it. It might be possible to change the pressure bowl to a different size, and this would automatically adjust the amount of pressure going to the pressure switch not really practical though
@@How-to-repair I was told a longer pipe to the drum could possibly help, so ive ordered one to try. Is the pressure bowl the part at the bottom of the drum that connects to the hose?
Yes, it's the clear bowl that attaches to the hose or drum
@@How-to-repair Id actually give it a go but id have to find something with the same 5mm diameter connector of the hose. Not sure where id find a bowl with connectors like that ??
Washing machine would stop mid cycle when on cold water cycle. I changed the cold water inlet valve, put everything back together and it worked fine for about 6-7 months. Then the wife tells me the machine shuts off mid cycle when she uses hot water. I change the hot water inlet valve, put it back together and it does the same thing "Starts then stops mid cycle. I had partially kinked the hot water hose when I changed the cold water valve and it eventually collapsed on itself causing the problem. Thanks to the advise in this video the machine is working like new again!!

water flows to the pre--wash detergent drawer, but not the main detergent drawer, then after 1min, it shows E10 error. My Electrolux front load washer is less than 1 month old.😣
vg vg hi did you find he problem I have same thing going on right now
@@sabrinafurley3092 Hi, I contacted a non-Electrolux mechanic, he did a thorough test and concluded that the valve needs to be replaced. Since my machine is still under warranty, I waited for Electrolux's mechanic to fix it. Strangely, he didn't even need to "open up " the machine to replace the valve. He just pressed some buttons on the panel to "reset" the system, and it started working again!
Can scale clog up the dispenser
Yes scale can block the inlet jets this is a video that I'll be making shortly

One year old samsung with a bad cold water relay. Pipes were flawless. Hot water filter was disgusting, never even knew that was a thing until this happened.
I had a problem with water not draining so took the pipes off near the drum / pressure valve and found a blockage there, put it all back together but now it won’t fill up at all , just a humming noise , the water is flowing to it fine and the valve filters are clean , any ideas ??
if you are hearing a humming noise this is the water valve working check water supply @tonyclarke9269 this is for you ua-cam.com/users/shortse432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's what keeps this channel going. Thanks 👍
