Safe first steps

  1. Check that the water supply taps are fully open.
  2. Inspect the water inlet hose for any kinks or blockages.
  3. Clean the pump filter to ensure proper water flow.
  4. If the machine still does not take in water, check for any visible leaks around the inlet hose and connections.

When to stop

  • Stop if you see water leaking near the inlet hose or connections — risk of flooding.

Likely cause

The machine may not be taking in water. Check that the taps are turned on and there is no water outage. Inspect the water inlet hose for any kinks and clean the pump filter.
