Problem with water supply
If water does not flow into the washing machine at all, or it flows in slowly, first of all, check the condition of the water supply system and pressure. It is possible that the machine does not draw water due to the fact that the utilities started a scheduled inspection, or the water does not flow into your house due to an unexpected breakdown of the water supply system. Many people immediately begin to blame their technique for all troubles, forgetting that the causes of the problems may be quite different.
When you are satisfied that your plumbing and plumbing is in order, pay attention to the water supply hose. Very often, they simply forget to open it, and if there are small children in the house, the problem may lie in the pranks of the baby. Check the hose for problems - it may be broken or broken. If everything is all right, the next stop is the hose filter. It is designed to protect your equipment and does not allow garbage into the washing machine. If the filter is clogged, water may not flow, or flow, but very slowly.
Disconnect the hose from the tank( it is usually fixed with simple fixings) and inspect the filter. Clean it of rusty dirt and dirt, for this you only need to hold it under strong pressure of water.
But cleaning one filter is not enough - you also need to rinse the hose itself. Powerful pressure will quickly and effectively remove blockages and dirt, you will not even need to make special solutions from detergents.

Errors in the programmer or the
control module Malfunctions can be hidden directly in the “brains” of the machine. If your washing machine is crammed with electronics, be prepared for the fact that after a while there may be trouble. Usually such faults are observed after three to four years of use, especially if the owner does not adhere to the rules of operation.
In such cases, the valve is in good condition, but the technician does not give a command, and therefore the machine does not draw water. This is possible due to the breakdown of some electronic control elements.
You will not be able to cope with such problems yourself; you need to contact specialists. Taking up the repair without proper skills, you will significantly delay the process, moreover, you risk only to aggravate the situation.
Breakdown of the water supply valve
This is a mechanical fault that occurs for various reasons - burned winding, clogged filter, etc. If it is a coil, it is enough to simply replace it. It is rather simple to check the serviceability of the valve, for this it is not necessary even to carry out the dismantling. Prepare a power cable with a switch and contacts in the insulation covers.
When the device is plugged in, the valve should open and then close immediately. If, after turning off, it still “poisons” for some time, then you have found the cause of the malfunction. In such a situation, it is desirable to turn to the repair team, and entrust the work to professionals.
Fault in the pressure sensor
If the unit does not get water, or it does not get enough water, there may be a problem in the fluid pressure sensor( or pressure switch, as it is often called).This sensor records how much water has entered the washing machine. When it is not there or not enough, the washing machine can not turn on. Accordingly, if the sensor cannot be assessed, fluid will not flow into the tank. In this situation, you will have to carry out a complete replacement of the sensor. Contact the service center - there you can buy it at the most affordable prices, along with the installation.
Problems with the locking device of the hatch( UBL)
Breaking UBL quite often becomes a headache for housewives. Not only that the washing machine does not open or close, but poorly and loosely - because of such a breakdown, all work is negated. To solve the problem, you need to replace the UBL.
But the door can fail for other reasons. For example, if the door hinges are loose, or the tongue responsible for fixing the hatch has been damaged. To solve the problem, you will have to remove the upper manhole cover or completely dismantle it.
