The most common reason is a problem with the water supply, or a blocked or kinked water supply hose. In this situation, the washing machine will drain for 3 minutes and the power button will be inoperative. In this case, please clean the debris filter and mesh filter.
Check if the water inlet screens are clogged.
Don't remove the screens — this could possibly cause flooding. If the screens are clogged and you can't get them clean, the water valve should be replaced. After checking the screens, reinstall the hoses and turn the water back on. Make sure there aren't any leaks.
The very first thing to do is to check that your water supply is turned on. The switch is usually located under your kitchen sink. If the supply is turned on, then check the inlet hose carefully to ensure that there are no kinks which could be restricting or preventing the water supply from reaching your machine.
It's not going to work. Once the washing machine realizes water is not entering into the drum, it will stop working before the washing cycle begins. Some older washing machines and top-loading washers may run without water, but do not do this as it can harm the integrity of the machine.
Generally if your washer is not filling with water and you hear a humming noise then the inlet valve is faulty and will need to be replaced. Check to see if it will fill with hot only or cold only water settings if it fills on one and not the other then it indicates the the valve is definitely faulty.
If your appliance won't take water in and you hear this humming then it usually means there is a problem with the taps at the back of your machine. The gentle humming means that your washing machine's taps are trying to take water in but can't, so first things first you should check the taps.
A washing machine not draining can have multiple causes, including a clogged or jammed drain hose or a broken pump, lid switch, or belt.
Your washing machine is designed to keep some water in the drum when not in use. This helps ensure your water pump doesn't dry out and overwork the next time you run a load of laundry. You shouldn't be able to see this water — you'd likely only hear the water in your washing machine when you spin the drum.
Run an empty hot wash
An empty hot wash is recommended to keep the insides clean and efficient. To do this, put on a hot cycle without any laundry. Also add a dash of white vinegar, which will help remove residue and bacteria. Make sure to clean out the detergent drawers at the same time as well.
Is it filling up when not in use? If you find clean water filling up the drum when the washer is not being used this could be due to contamination from your cold water supply clogging in the water valve of your washing machine. There is a filter fitted in the valve to catch this debris and can be easily cleaned.
Turn the machine off at the powerpoint, wait for one minute, and then turn it back on. If you see no change, you can try a Master Reset. This will reset all of the onboard componentry and is often successfully used by appliance technicians. Open and close the door of the washing machine 6 times within 12 seconds.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow. If possible, remove the inlet hoses from the back of the washer. To do this, turn the water supply off, then use pliers to remove the hoses. Place hose ends in a bucket to catch water remaining in the hoses.
Low water pressure in a washing machine can be caused by clogged filters or hoses, partially closed supply valves, low municipal water pressure, or plumbing system issues.
ENERGY STAR states that, on average, an ENERGY STAR certified washer uses 14 gallons of water per load, while a standard washing machine uses 20 gallons of water per load1.
It could be an improperly positioned drain hose, a door that's not fully closed, a water supply that's turned off or an overfill protection float that's got something stuck in it.
If you start your washing machine on a cycle and it doesn't fill with water, you will either see an error code on your digital display or, if you don't have a digital display, you'll hear your machine make a continuous humming noise.
The washer will partially fill with water and the drum will rotate during the initial fill. Once the initial fill is complete, the wash portion of the cycle will begin and the tub will fill will more water. At this time, the water in your washer should be about the same amount as the image below.
The most common reason is a problem with the water supply, or a blocked or kinked water supply hose. In this situation, the washing machine will drain for 3 minutes and the power button will be inoperative. In this case, please clean the debris filter and mesh filter.
You could have a faulty lid or water level switch, or your hot and cold water supplies could be turned off or have kinks in the hoses. A clogged water inlet screen or a malfunctioning electronic control could also be the reason a washer isn't filling with water.
Clear things out by mixing equal parts of hot water and vinegar and pouring the mixture through the drain pipe. Wait half an hour, then reconnect the drain pipe, plug in your machine and run a wash cycle.
The most common cause of a Whirlpool washer that is stuck on sensing is a faulty actuator. However, this problem may also be caused by a clogged drain pump, a failed door latch/lid switch, a torn drive belt, a faulty pressure switch, or faulty water inlet valves.
A blocked detergent line or tray is the most likely reason for your washing machine not cleaning your clothes properly. Alternatively, there could be a blockage elsewhere, meaning that detergent, germs, dirt and grime will eventually build up and transfer onto your clothes.
