Not Filling With Water
Hi there, my washing machine is cold fill only, by the looks of it, but it's not filling up with water at all. I've switched on the valves, so I can't figure out why it won't work! Just moved into a new place with the machine installed, and the washing is mounting up!

Washing machine not filling after move-in
- The problem
- A cold-fill washing machine in a newly occupied property would not fill with water at all, despite the supply valves being turned on.
- Likely cause
- The most strongly supported diagnosis is that no water was actually reaching the machine, possibly due to a faulty tap or no flow from the supply hose. No internal machine fault was confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to first check whether water is actually coming out of the inlet hoses, particularly as the machine had never worked since moving into the property. The exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Confirmed the supply valves had been switched on
- Advised to check whether water comes out of the inlet hoses
- Suggested the tap itself could be faulty

If it has never worked since moving into the new house the first thing to check is that water is actually coming out of the hoses (described in the article) jut in case the tap has gone faulty.
