• Verify your home circuit breaker has not tripped; check the breaker panel and reset if necessary
• Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washing machine are fully turned on (turn counterclockwise until they stop)
• Inspect both inlet hoses on the back of the machine for visible kinks, twists, or bends; straighten any kinked hoses
• Check the inlet hose connections where they attach to the machine and water supply to confirm they are hand-tight and not leaking
• Look for any visible cracks or splits in the inlet hoses and replace if damaged
• Unplug the inlet hoses from the back of the machine and visually inspect the small filter screens inside each connection for debris or mineral buildup; rinse if clogged
• Verify the drain hose is not kinked or blocked, as back pressure can prevent proper water intake
• Do not overload the washing machine drum; remove some items and try again
• Make sure the door is fully closed and latched until you hear it click
• Perform a full machine reset by turning off the breaker switch for 60 seconds, then turn the breaker back on and allow 5 minutes before attempting a new cycle
• Run a short test cycle with hot and cold water only (no clothes) to confirm proper filling
• Check if your area has experienced low water pressure incidents or water main work by contacting your local water utility
