If the washing machine does not take water, in the simplest case, the reason is related to a closed valve or a one-time electronics failure. Therefore, you first need to make sure that the water is supplied, and then reboot the device by turning it off for a few minutes from the mains. But if this did not help, the reason is more serious - most likely, you will need to invite the master.

If the car is new
If the device is new and recently installed, the reasons may be very simple. First of all, you need to check the presence of water, because sometimes there are interruptions: for example, hot flows, but cold does not.
Next, you need to act like this:
- Check if the tap on the pipe is open or not.
- Inspect the water supply hose - it should not be pressed or kinked.
- Make sure the door is tightly closed. It needs to be opened and closed again when you hear a click.
- Unplug the device from the socket, wait 10 minutes and plug it back in. Sometimes washing machines fail, if the phenomenon is one-time, this is normal. But if it starts to repeat, the electronic module may break down - repair under warranty is required.
What can you check yourself
In some cases, you can manage on your own. After checking the door and rebooting, the devices act as follows:
- Make sure there is water and the faucet is open.
- It is also necessary to check whether the water is supplied under normal pressure - this problem is especially relevant for the upper floors.
- Check the filter mesh of the valve that supplies water. Sometimes it becomes clogged, so it is necessary to periodically clean it.
When do you need repairs
If the damage is more serious, it will definitely require repairs with a complete replacement of one or another part. The most common situations are:
- Problems with the valve that supplies water. It consists of a coil and a membrane, and it is the coil that breaks most often. The main sign will be the blocking of the hatch and the lack of a set of water.
- Failure of the pressure switch, that is, the sensor that controls the water level. When he "perceives" the tank as full, no more water is drawn. Therefore, the part needs to be replaced.
- If the problems are related to the control module, the machine will also close the door and will not draw water. For an accurate determination, it is necessary to carry out the correct diagnosis and clean the oxidized contacts. You may need to completely replace the processor board.
- Another case is a wiring fault. This is observed during prolonged operation and strong vibrations, as a result of which the wires physically rub against each other. In such situations, a complete replacement of damaged wires is also required.
Thus, when the machine does not take water, the reasons can be more or less serious. Self-repair is possible only after an accurate diagnosis and with the appropriate skills. If they are not there, you should contact the master so as not to spoil the unit.
