• Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the 120V outlet, or flip the circuit breaker to OFF for 60 seconds to reset the appliance
• Check both hot and cold water supply shutoff valves behind the washing machine are fully turned to the ON position (turned counterclockwise)
• Inspect both water inlet hoses for kinks, twists, or pinched sections that could restrict water flow
• Look for leaks or damage on the inlet hoses where they connect to the wall supply and machine inlet
• Verify the drain hose is not kinked or clogged, as back pressure can affect filling
• Open the hot and cold water supply valves slightly at the wall to ensure water is actively reaching the machine location
• Do not overload the washing machine, as this can strain the water inlet system
• Ensure the washing machine door is fully closed and the door latch clicks securely into place
• Run a test cycle with no clothes loaded to determine if the error persists
• If error continues after these checks, contact a Miele-authorized service technician as internal valve replacement may be needed
