  2. Inspect the water supply hose for kinks or blockages.
  3. Ensure that the water supply is not interrupted by checking the main water valve.
  4. If the water supply is fine but the error persists, check for any visible leaks around the water inlet area.
  5. If you find any leaks or the issue continues, arrange a service visit — do not use the appliance.

When to stop
