🌀 Washer not filling with water

⚠️ Common Causes

Water inlet valve failed, water supply valves closed, inlet hoses kinked, pressure switch failed, control board issue

🔧 Parts to Check

• Water inlet valve
• Inlet hoses
• Pressure switch
• Water supply valves

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check water supply valves — both hot and cold valves behind washer must be fully open
   ✓ Expected: Both valves fully open
2. Check inlet hoses for kinks — inspect where they connect to wall and washer
   ✓ Expected: No kinks or bends
3. Check inlet valve screens — disconnect hoses, remove small screens from valve, clean debris
   ✓ Expected: Screens clear
4. Test water inlet valve coil with multimeter — should read 500-1500Ω
   ✓ Expected: 500-1500Ω
5. Check pressure switch — blow through pressure tube to test switch activation
   ✓ Expected: Switch clicks when blown
6. For HE washers: verify you selected correct cycle — some cycles delay fill
   ✓ Expected: Correct cycle selected
