Hotpoint Ultima Washing Machine No Water

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Hotpoint WMD940K reports no water supply but basic inlet checks were satisfactory

The problem

A Hotpoint WMD940K washing machine was indicating no water supply and would not fill. The owner had already checked the inlet hoses, filters and household water pressure and reported these were fine.

Likely cause

The exact cause was not identified from the discussion. The inlet valve coil resistance was reported as 3.6 kOhms and believed to be correct, and the pressure valve was said to be functioning correctly, so the fault remained undiagnosed.

What fixed it

No repair was documented. The accepted advice was that, given the checks already completed and the lack of an obvious cause, the machine should be examined by an engineer. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Checks to try

• Checked inlet hoses
• Checked filters
• Checked water pressure
• Measured water inlet valve contacts at 3.6 kOhms
• Checked pressure valve operation
