A problem with my washing machine......?

Question

when i used to start my washer on a cycle, it used to fill up with water very quickly, from yesterday i put a load in, and it"s only filling up with a trickle of water.

my partner has checked everything, and eveything seems ok, has anyone ever had the same problem...?

and does anyone know roughly what the problem could be..?

thanks in advance for any answers..

Answer 1

In older machines if you change the water setting from hot to cold it will fill up a lot slower than in the hot water setting. check to see if you moved the water setting from your usually setting

Answer 2

Decrease in mains water pressure due to the additional use in the summer.

Answer 3

check your filters on the pipes at the back of your machine, you should have a small filter either one end of the cold fill and hot fill pipe its a little plastic disc and usually it glogs up with carbon

Answer 4

it could be the inlet valve more than likely the cold water one  it could just need a few taps not heavy hits or you may have to change it

Answer 5

Sometimes this can be caused by having another tap on in the house, as if i am doing some washing and someone turns on the cold water either in the kitchen or bathroom then the water will run slower, like wise goes if you are running a bath and someone puts on one of the taps elsewhere then which ever tap they put on hot/cold then that effects the bathroom one. Okay that may not be happening but it was just a thought.

Answer 6

Ours is doing just the same as yours is..We have put it down to the increased demand for water and a drop in pressure...

Answer 7

Chances are the screen filters in one or both of the inlet water hoses are built up with sediments.

1 disconnect power

2shut off water faucets

3 disconnect rear water hoses

4pry out screen filters from hoses and inlet valve and rinse out.

5 press screens back on

6 reconnect hoses

7 reconnect power

8 turn on water and turn on washer

Or call appliance repairman

Answer 8

Have you checked the stop tap, sometimes they need adjustment, as it may have been turned off and not returned to it's original spot, is there a good flow to the taps?

Answer 9

Check the load variance.....large, small ect.... also check your outside water supply if someone thought they were turning the sprinklers off, but turned down the water supply.....
