• Washing machine fails to fill with water or fills very slowly
• Cycle stops prematurely without completing the wash
• Error code F140 displays on the control panel
• Machine may make unusual sounds during the fill phase
• Water level appears insufficient in the drum
• Clothes remain dry after attempting to start a cycle

• Clogged or kinked inlet hoses restricting water flow
• Water inlet valve malfunction or failure

• Verify the circuit breaker for your washing machine is in the ON position and has not tripped
• Check that both hot and cold water supply valves behind the machine are fully open (turn counterclockwise)
• Inspect both inlet hoses for kinks, twists, or bends that could restrict water flow
• Disconnect inlet hoses from the machine and check for debris or mineral buildup in the screens
• Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or positioned too high, which can cause backpressure
• Remove any items blocking the water inlet connection ports on the back of the machine
• Verify you are not overloading the washer with clothes, as this can interfere with proper filling
• Confirm the door is fully closed and the door latch engages completely
• Reset the washing machine by turning off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turn it back on
• Run a test cycle with no clothes to determine if the problem persists
• Check your home's main water supply to ensure adequate pressure is reaching the appliance
