The washing machine does not get water
What to do if the washing machine is Ardo, Bosch, Indesit, LG, Whirlpool, Zanussi, Samsung, Electrolux, Atlanta, Beko, Bosch, Indesit, Kandy, Ariston, it picks up a lot of water or constantly picks up water or does it spontaneously? Further in this article we will talk about the possible reasons and ways to solve the problem.
If your washing machine does not gain water to the end and does not launch the washing, you need to urgently understand the reasons for the problem: it can be both a banal absence of water and a breakdown of one of the washing units, for example, control board, hatch or sensors doors or sensors.
Many reasons for you can be eliminated by yourself, without wasting time and money on calling the master: to ensure the supply of water from the water supply with the necessary pressure, check the correctness of the connection and condition of the hose, clean the input filter. But if there is a breakdown of some internal unit of the machine or you cannot independently determine the cause of the malfunction, it is better to stop the experiments and call a qualified specialist with the necessary equipment and skills.
Incorrect water connection
Symptoms: The washing machine constantly picks up water and immediately drains it.
If you notice that during the set of water into the tank of the car, it simultaneously merges from there, then with a high degree of probability you have problems with the drain of water, and not with its set. One of the possible reasons. Incorrect connection of the drain when installing the machine.
So that there is no spontaneous drain, the drain hose should either be connected through a special siphon, or fix it to the sewage system at a height of 50-60 cm. From the floor. If the place of connection of the hose is not available, there is a simple way to make sure that the cause of the draining is precisely in the wrong installation: while rinsing, press the pause and check whether the water continues to merge. If yes, then you have found the reason. But how to eliminate it. You decide: if you have the necessary tool and skills, you can completely fix the drain yourself, but it is better to call a specialist all the same.
The causes of the malfunction
There are several reasons that can cause a short.laying tank. The simplest of them can be found and fixed independently:
- No pressure in the water supply. Before diagnosing a breakdown, check if water enters the apartment. Often, if the network is being repaired, the pressure falls and the drum is filled longer than usual.
- Speak a feed hose. In small bathrooms or in a cramped kitchen, it is easy to transmit or damage the filling plastic hose. Then the flow inside the system will be weak. Thoroughly inspect the entire waterway from the pipe to the inlet in the device.
- The protective filter clogged. At the place where the feed pipe is joined, the mesh filter finds that protects the internal nodes of the device from tap bin. particles of rust and sand. If a lot of litter has accumulated on it, the flow will be complicated. To check it, disconnect the hose and pull out the plastic filter block. If you have never analyzed the car and did not engage in its installation, it is better to trust this work to a professional. It is especially difficult to do this in Bosch and Hansa devices.
- The effect of a siphon arose. If the pressure is distributed unevenly in the sewage system, and the device is connected too low to it, the contents of the tank will be absorbed into the pipes immediately after the bay. So that this is not, check how high the drain hose is located (it should be at least 50 cm from the floor) or install the anti.pione valve, it protects against leakage.
If you examined all available zones, but did not find out why the washing machine floods little water, then the problem lies in the breakdown of one of the details of the device. Next, we will consider what malfunctions lead to this and what to do to eliminate them.
The press.start of the press broke
This part is a plastic box with a relay, to which the pipe is connected from the high.pressure tank. When the moisture is poured into the tank, the pressure increases, this information comes to the relay contacts by the tube. Through it, the control board receives data that it is time to type or lower water, launch a heating element or twist the drum. If the press starts ceases to “feel” the presence of a liquid, the fee can start the heating element earlier than required. Also, because of this failure, there may be too little water in the washing machine.
All manufacturers protect and seal the level sensor, but due to a jump in the voltage, contacts can be shortingly. The tube also wears out, cracks, and moisture falls on the parts through it.
Despite the fact that the tightness of the tube can be restored, and the sensor contacts can be updated, the Whirlpool, Ariston and Ardo techno recommend installing original spare parts.
Filter blockage
Before the liquid is poured into the tank, it passes through a small mesh-filter, which holds rust particles, salt precipitate and other garbage from getting into the system. Over time, this filter can clog with litter and interfere with the free current of water. often than others, the owners of the LG, Samsung, Bosch technique are faced with this problem. If you have experience in repairing equipment, you need:
- Disconnect the flood hose.
- Gently with pliers, get a filtration grid.
- Clean it from plaque, possibly soak in a solution of citric or acetic acid to remove the precipitate.
- Install the filter in place and again connect the device to the water supply.
If you are not sure that you can correctly clean the blockage, it is better to contact professionals.
Damage of the inlet valve
After a filtration mesh in the case of the machine, there is a fill valve, which is responsible for when and how quickly the drum is filled. Depending on the program, a signal from the control module and the damper inside the valve open or close the electromagnetic coil. If one or more coils are closed, the signal information will not be accepted or played, and the shutters will remain closed. Water will not be able to enter the tank with ordinary pressure.
Also, if the protective filter broke, the entire SRC from the water supply will enter the valve diaphragm and accumulate there. The same reduces the pressure and can damage the details.
Some experts offer to fix the intake block, replace the coils or eliminate the blockage, but any defect wear out the element, so we recommend that you install a new. Candy, Ariston, Indesit and Hansa manufacturers also advise not to use details after problems.
Ways to solve the problem
To diagnose and repair the Bosch washing machine, you need to turn it off from electricity and block the water supply valve. The washing is extended from the wall so that you can approach the device from all sides. After that, remove the back wall and the top panel.
Filter blockage
Checking the filter-miter, which is located on the section of the pouring hose with the Bosch washing machine (from the side of the rear wall), can be carried out indiscriminately by the washing machine. If there is water in the water supply, the crane is open, and there is no problem with the hose, you need to inspect the filter set.
To do this, unscrew the mounting of the hose and carefully remove the net. It is convenient to rinse it under running water.
If it is very dirty, clogged with a warden, an old toothbrush will help in cleaning. After washing, the mesh is put in place and carefully fixed the hose.
The hose clogged
BOSCH pouring hose in rare cases can also be clogged. This situation is possible upon admission from the water supply of very dirty water.
This can happen, for example, after the repair of water supply networks, when fragments of rust and other small garbage fractions come to consumers with water.
To check the hose, it is disconnected both from the water supply and from the washer. You can even set its patency with a blow to it from one end. The clogged hose can be cleaned, or can be replaced with a new.
Damage to the press start
The water level sensor controls its amount in the tank. In case of malfunction from this element, reliable information is not transmitted to the control circuit of BOSCH. As a result, water is not gained and washing does not begin. In some cases, if the problem is the problem. blockage, the press can be repaired, but most often it is replaced by a new.
Water supply valve broke
The water supply valve in Bosch washing machines allows you to pour water that comes under high pressure. The signal for its opening passes from the control module. With a malfunction of the valve of the water fence does not occur. In case of breakdown, it is replaced by a new.
In order not to be mistaken when connecting, it is advisable to photograph the location of the wires before removing the part. This will help with the final assembly.
DISPECT in the control module
Bosch control module failure can be caused by burning elements on the board and tracks. If such a situation takes place, then the valve is triggered due to the fact that the signal from the control unit simply does not arrive.
For accurate diagnosis of the BOSH module, it needs to be dismantled and tested in a workshop. The master replaces the blocked elements with new ones, carries out.
It may be necessary to flash the module or even its complete replacement. The latter option rarely happens, and is characteristic of cases of significant burnout of the block, when it is no longer subject to restoration.
Malfunction ub
In order for washing to begin and a set of water goes, the Bosch washing machine needs to block the hatch door.
In the event that the hatch is closed, but the operation of the electronic lock did not occur, the water sampling does not begin.
In such a situation, a washing machine can issue an appropriate display failure code. Solving the problem. replacing the spoiled details with a new.
The pump broke
With a breakdown of a drainage pump, a set of water into the Bosch washing machine of some models does not begin. The problem requires analysis. It may be necessary to clean the part or its replacement.
Wiring disturbances
In case of wiring violations, the signals between the BOSCH control unit and the nodes that are involved in the water set do not pass. To determine the problem area, the master performs a detailed inspection. If necessary, a loop is replaced, contacts are soldered.
Leakage
If the Bosch washing machine began the water fence, and then stopped the operation, there is a chance of the operation of the water area. This circumstance usually indicates the error code corresponding to this failure. F23 (E23). In the event that the stopping of water pouring into the tank is caused by leaks, it is necessary to eliminate the causes of the leak, after which work with the launch of washing will be improved.
Calling the master
The problem with the set of water in the Bosch washing machine is not always solved on its own. In case of serious failures are required: experience, knowledge and special tools.
When it is not possible to solve the issue without a master, it is necessary to call a specialist from a company engaged in the repair of household appliances. Firms for the provision of repair services for washing machines can be found on the Internet, familiarize yourself with reviews of work and study the price list.
On average, the cost of repair work is:
- replacement/repairs of the press. from 2,000;
- Repair of the control module. from 2,500;
- Training repair. from 2,000;
- Replacing the hose. from 1,500 and t.D.

If the washing machine is under warranty, then it is impossible to open its body on your own. All repair work in this case should be carried out by the masters of the service center.
How to determine that the machine cannot fill the water
When the linen in the drum is dry, the cm is buzzing and does not twist the drum, the breakdown manifests itself clearly. But there are situations when there is water in the drum, and washing does not begin and it is not clear what happened. It may be that the water comes too slowly and the machine identifies it as a breakdown. In this case, a fault code is displayed on the display. Smell without a display reports a breakdown of indicators by blinking.
ELECTROLUX machine E10 code reports that water does not enter the tank
For example, if the Indesit washing machine does not gain water, a combination of H20 appears on its display. The same code is displayed in SM Ariston and Hotpoint Ariston. Electrolux and Zanussi units issue an E10 or E11 message. The following information appears on the displays of washing machines of other brands:
- Samsung. E1;
- LG. PE or IE;
- Bosch. F01 or Aquastop;
- Whirpool. FH or F1;
- Candy. E02;
- ASKO. E01 or Water Inlet fault (water supply error).
If the display is absent, the malfunction can be recognized by the combination of flashing indicators (for each brand it is its own, you can find it in the instructions for use).
Reasons why the unit does not gain water
There may be several reasons for the appearance of this malfunction, the most obvious among them:
- There is no water in the water supply. the most common reason. Check it is simple. you just need to open any crane. Maybe the pressure of water is insufficient. this can also be seen visually by opening the crane in the washbasin. It also happens that they accidentally blocked the valve through which water enters the flood hose.
- Blocking the entrance line. Most likely, the input mesh filter is clogged due to the poor quality of tap water. It is less likely that a flood hose has clogged, but such cases are also.
Laying Machine Lose
The listed reasons are easily detected and eliminated independently. The flood hose is disconnected from the smell, then the mesh filter is neatly extracted from the inlet in the machine. If there is a blockage, the net is cleaned and washed under a strong stream of water.
The mesh filter is extracted with pliers
The flood hose should also be examined for damage and rinse under a strong stream of water.
In addition to the simplest reasons for the lack of water supply to the unit, there are others.
Washing Machine WATER FILTER remove Sediment Rust Brown Water Dirt Unclog screen fix slow no flow
Luke door malfunctions
The hatch of each washing machine has a locking device (hereinafter also. UBB, Castle), which locks the door as soon as the washing program starts up. This happens in order to exclude the possibility of opening the door and leakage of fluid from the drum. The hatch is closed throughout the entire execution of the program.
Washing machine hatch door

When closing the door, a click should be heard when the door tongues enters the latch inside the case. If this does not happen, then the door is not closed to the end. In this case, the signal about the closure of the hatch is not sent to the control unit, and the water does not enter the drum of the washing machine. There may be several reasons why the door did not slam:
- Luke loops were shaken, so the tongue cannot fall into the latch;
- damaged or displaced the tongue of the door;
- The rubber gasket is deformed;
- The plastic guide is damaged.
If the door is normally snapped, but the second click that indicates the blocking is not heard, it means that the control of the control unit is out of order.
The most common mechanical defect is the skew of the door loops as a result of prolonged exposure to vibration. “Treated” simply. you need to tighten the fasteners of the loops or replace them with new.
The most common electrical malfunction is the failure of the castle. What to do in this case? You can replace UBB yourself, the lock is relatively inexpensive. To do this, you need to perform the following actions:
- Open the hatch door.
- Remove the elastic cuff, sealing the drum. To do this, pry the screwdriver and take out the clamp, which holds it.
- Unscrew the screws holding the lock.
- We take out the uble through the hole between the cuff and the case.
- Disconnect the connector and connect it to the new device.
- Install a new device in place.

The sequence of actions when replacing uble
All work takes only a few minutes. After that, you can turn on the smoke and make sure that it pumps water into the tank.
Damage to the input valve
Such a defect is one of the main reasons why the washing machine does not gain water. This part controls the supply of water to the tank. The valve operates the electronic control unit (hereinafter also the ECU), which supplies signals about the opening and closing of the valve.
Washing machine entrance valve
The main elements of the part are electromagnetic coils that unlock and lock the shutters for water intake. In most modern models, the valves have two control coils that distribute the flow of water by sections that are filled with a detergent.
Diagnostics and replacement of the part can be performed independently. To do this, we de.energize the washing machine, then open the top cover, disconnect all the pipes from the valve, unscrew the fasteners and bend the latches if they are. We take out the valve from the planting nest.
Extracting a flood valve from a machine body
The integrity of the coils is simply checked. when checking by a multimeter, their resistance should be within 2–4 kom. In the case of a cliff or short circuit, the part must be replaced. The new valve is relatively inexpensive.
A defect in the press start
This part is a pressure sensor that determines the water level in the tank. Pressostat can be found on one of the panels if you remove the upper cover of the casing. As a rule, the part has a rounded shape and a tank pipe is connected to it.
Pressostat in washing machine
The pipe connected to the sensor transfers the air pressure in the tank on its membrane. When water fills the tank, the pressure increases, because the air is displaced from it. As soon as the pressure value reaches the desired level, the press starts gives a signal to the electronic control unit and it stops the supply of water.
Why is the washing machine poorly gaining water
Once again, you were going to wash dirty things: you turned the machine on the network, threw the linen into the drum, poured powder and, choosing the right program, gave the laundry to wash. Everything seems to be as usual! And suddenly you notice that the washing machine somehow slowly picks up water, and washing lasts unusually for a long time. The first thing you would like to recommend is not a panic, this does not mean that the washing machine has broken, perhaps you will be able to fix everything on your own.
In this article, we will analyze the main situations in which a washing machine can take water for a long time, and also consider the main breakdown and ways to eliminate them.
We eliminate the problem on our own
If your washing machine does not pour water well, then this can speak of both its breakdown and an unsuccessful set of circumstances or your own carelessness. Consider the main situations, in the event of which you can do without calling the master.
Weak pressure in the water supply. Check it out is simple. open the cold water crane and evaluate the pressure, so to speak, visually. If he is very weak, congratulations, you have found a problem! There are two ways out of this situation:
- Do not pay attention to a weak pressure. However, in this case, washing will last a very long time.
- Wait until the pressure of the water returns to normal. At this time, you can call the communal workers and learn about the causes of the malfunction and the timing of its elimination.
IFB front load washing machine water inlet problem
The shut.off valve is not completely open. With this valve, the supply of water into the washing machine is overlapped. Therefore, if you find that it is not completely open, then all you need is to transfer it to a “working” position. Maybe such that the crane itself has become unusable. stalled or scrolls around. In this case, change it to a working one yourself or turning to plumbing.
The flood hose leaned out. If there are no problems with the pressure of water, you should check the supply hose for the presence of excesses: perhaps water does not enter the washing machine precisely because of this. Fix the situation simply. straighten the hose, and the water supply will be restored.
The mesh filter of the fill valve mounted at the entrance to the washing machine closed.At the place of connection of the bulk hose to the washing machine, a filter grid is installed, through which all the water enters the washer. Due to impurities and small particles contained in tap water, the filter is clogged over time and begins to poorly let in water. You can fix the situation as follows:
- Cross the water supply;
- Unscrew the bulk hose;
- Gently, gently pull out the mesh from the intake valve through pliers;
- Cleam it with a stiff brush and rinse under a strong stream of water. An effective treatment method is also a “folk” method in which the filter is lowered into a solution of citric acid for 30 minutes. “Limonka” quickly “Opest” accumulated plaque, and the filter will be like a brand new.
LG washing machine does not gain water: the reasons and ways to eliminate the problem
Sometimes even the most reliable technique can fail. This is usually due either to violation of the rules of operation, or with the wear of a particular part. If you are faced with a situation where the washing machine does not gain water, you will have to cancel the planned washing and begin to search for the reason why it happened.
Modern washing machines signal the problem with the corresponding code on the display. If the display is absent, then flashing indicators will be reported about the malfunction. At the same time, it is not easy to establish the cause of the breakdown.
Some breakdowns can only be eliminated with the help of a master from the LG service center. Some can be fixed independently and returning work capacity to the washing machine.
To detect the reason due to which the washing machine does not gain water, you need to conduct a phased check. First of all, check if there is cold water in the apartment: perhaps the house simply turned off the water in connection with the repair work. The reason may lie in the weak pressure of water in the tap: the washing machine will stop all the time and signal the problem, since the drum filling time will be exceeded.
If the water is not disconnected, then you should check the valve overlapping the water in the washing machine. The reason may be in it if it is closed. So that the washing machine becomes again to type water, the valve will need to open completely.
The absence of a set of water into the washing machine could be associated with a short-term failure in the control module due to voltage jumps. To do this, turn off the LG washing machine and turn it off from the power source for 15-20 minutes, then start the wash again. If constant voltage surges are observed in the house, then purchase a stabilizer and connect the washing machine through it.
The next step is to check the flood hose along which water from the water supply enters the washing machine. If the washing machine does not gain water, then perhaps the hose was pushed or bent. In this case, water can enter the washing machine very slowly. To restore the previous speed of water set, it is necessary to release and straighten the hose.
over, if the hose is equipped with Aqua-Stop system and it is damaged, then the system will automatically block the supply of water into the washing machine so that there is no water leakage. Outwardly, damage is not always noticeable, since the hoses are made durable and with double braid to withstand water pressure. If the hose is damaged, it will be necessary to replace it.
We also recommend checking the hose and with it the input filter for the blockage. The filter is a fine.mesh mesh, which is located at the place of connection of the hose to the washing machine. The filter protects the washing machine from mechanical impurities from the water supply. In order to check and clean the filter, you should:
- Block the water supply into the washing machine, closing the corresponding valve.
- Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply network.
- Next, remove the pouring hose, examine for damage.
- Gently pull the filter with pliers, clean it with a brush under the pressure of water.
- We also wash the hose under strong water pressure.
- Next, install the filter back and check if the blockage is eliminated. To do this, hold the hose above the bathroom under strong water pressure. If the flow of water passes well, then the blockage is eliminated. If the water does not arrive, then the blockage is not eliminated, try to use the wire to clean the hose.
- After we examine the pipe connecting the hose to the water supply system to exclude the possibility of blockage in it.
If, after the above actions, the washing machine never began to gain water, you should continue to search for the reason. Check if the door of the lamp is closed. When the door closes without a characteristic click, the hatch lock device does not work, the symbol in the form of a lock is not displayed on the screen and the corresponding signal is not transmitted to the control board, which does not start the washing process. There may be several reasons for this:
- The niche into which the tongue of the latch clicks was clogged with soap plaque and pile from things. The deepening must be cleaned and rinse.
- Perhaps the linen in the drum was laid inaccurately, in this case, the thing could get between the door and the tank. Check for nothing to interfere and press the hatch door to the click.
- The door could skew due to weakened loops. Fasteners should be tightened, or completely replaced by the loops.
- Luke’s lock could break. In this case, it will require its replacement. Usually breakdown can occur with prolonged and frequent operation of the washing machine.
All other reasons because of which there is no water set will be associated with the internal nodes of the washing machine. For diagnosis, special equipment and partial analysis of the washing machine will be required, so it is better to contact the masters from the LG service center.
First of all, check the water supply valve. The command valve from the control module opens and lets the water over the nozzles. When filling the tank, the control unit transmits a signal, after which the valve lowers the shutter and blocks the water. If the valve fails, then it ceases to execute commands from the control module. To detect a breakdown, the inlet valve is nicknamed the multimeter. The failed valve is changed to a new.
Next, check the press start. The water level sensor transfers the control unit information about the amount of water in the tank. If it is faulty, then the washing machine cannot determine if there is water in the tank. Typically, the malfunction in this node is displayed by a certain error code on the control panel. Please note that with this error it is not always required to replace the entire node. Sometimes a pipe flies from a regular place or it clogs. And sometimes a click of the pressure chamber is clogged. It is also better to entrust diagnostics to the master from the LG service center, since the washing of the washing machine will be required:
- Disconnect the washing machine from the network.
- Next, remove the upper cover, the water level sensor on the models of LG washing machines is located on one of the walls of the washer, very close to the top. Finding a sensor, disconnect the water set hose from it.
- Instead of the hose, connect a special tube of similar diameter and blow the press. If the part is working, then the press starts will publish characteristic clicks. If not, it will need to be replaced with a new.
- After that, we examine all the hoses and contacts, if the connectors have gone somewhere, we install them in place. Oxidized and contaminated contacts are cleaned.
The water supply tap or weak pressure in the water supply was blocked
A new.sample washing machines should have a tap closing water. As a rule, its valve is located directly on the pipe or on the comb. It is clear that with a blocked tap, the water will not enter the car. At the same time, the unit is buzzing, and an error is displayed on the scoreboard.
Eliminating such a “breakdown” is easy enough, just click on the pause button, open the valve and run the machine again.
If the tap is open, but the water does not enter the washer or poured slowly, then perhaps the problem is in the water supply: there is no water or the pressure in the pipes is not strong enough. Open any crane in the bathroom, check its presence. Call a hot fishing line for a trimmer of your Zhek, find out the duration of the water supply. Of course, you will have to put aside for this time.

Attention! Do not turn on the washing machine immediately with the appearance of water in the water supply. Due to the wear of water pipes, it can go rusty.
ZARAR or breakdown of the inlet valve filter
With water supply in the house, everything is in order, the device is serviceable and correctly connected, but the water does not enter the machine, and the process is accompanied by a characteristic hum? The reason may be more serious. the water supply valve is closed or completely broken.
Water is supplied to the washing device under pressure from the water supply. Its feed is regulated by a special plastic valve, which a signal comes from the control module. If the valve is broken, then the washing machine cannot pick up water. It must be replaced using the services of the service center.
The cause of the malfunction may be in another. there was a blockage of the filter on the inlet valve. This problem is solved without calling a service master. You need to clean the filter with your own hands:
- Unscrew the water supply hose from the machine.
- Remove the mesh filter using pliers.
- Clean it of fine debris and rinse under pressure from water.
- Install everything in place in the same sequence.
- Check the device for performance.
Attention! Little to clean only the filter. Blocking can be in the supply hose. It is also recommended to rinse well under a stream of hot water.
The drum was leaked
It is not difficult to notice damage to the tank of the washing machine: if you see a puddle under the device after the washing cycle, then a leak occurs inside and the machine must constantly make up for it. In many cases, when the device is in the corner of the room or forced by furniture, you can not notice a leak, so we recommend that you feel the drum for holes several times a month with your hands. Sometimes a specialist patches the leak, but more often you have to change the entire part. The easiest way to do this in LG devices.
The control unit has failed
If you notice that the device does not erase the laundry at the allotted time, that is, the washing mode increases several times, and the tank is gaining half an hour, then the rinse process is delayed, the failure occurred in the control module that controls all the processes in the device.
This breakdown is found in Indesit and Hansa machines. Typically, the control unit is carefully protected from any deformation, but in the case of a jump in voltage or natural wear, it fails. Manufacturers do not recommend opening it, clean contacts and making unskilled repair. It will be more correct to put a new detail of the same brand, otherwise there is a conflict of software.
