Common faults why water does not go into your washing machine:

1 The water only goes into machine at certain points of the washing machine program.

2 The washing machine slowly fills when the power is of the machine.

3 The washing machine starts but then stops with only a small amount of water in the drum. (this is normally low water pressure or blocked filter in the water valve)

4 No water goes into the machine at all.

    Hello,
    I have a 5 year old Samsung washer, WD8704RJA. It stopped working and displayed 4E. The water supply was correct and I tried the machine again, it ran correctly for 57 minutes of a 70 minute programme and then got stuck, it does not display an error message and just makes a whirring sound.
    I have watched and been impressed by Paul’s tutorial video and hope you can provide some guidance for me.
    Regards,
    Martin

    Good morning, I have a stackable whirlpool washer. Model # WET4027HW0. We are on a well. Recently, the pump stopped so we replaced it. Now, there is water coming into the washer (trickling) when the power is off. It only does it when the cold water tap is turned on. The machine is not plugged in. I suspect it’s the valve. Any help is appreciated from North Carolina, USA.
