Washing machine is not filling with water

If your washing machine is not filling with water, it could be due to a kinked hose or low water pressure. Here are some steps to check and resolve the issue:

• Check that there are no kinks in the cold water fill hose and the waste water hose by pulling the appliance out slightly and untwisting any visable kinks or bends in these hoses. For more information on how to correctly install these two hoses, please refer to your appliance s instruction manual
• Next, ensure that the waste water hose is not blocked by removing the waste water hose from the siphon connection, putting the end of the hose in a bucket and selecting the drain programme. If there is a blockage, water will not fill, or struggle to fill, the bucket. If a blockage is found, clean the waste water hose and siphon.

To check the water pressure, simply follow the instructions below:

• Place a bucket under the water tap.
• Run the water. Approximately 10 litres of water per minute should come out.
• If the water pressure is too low, less water will be discharged.
• If this is the case, please contact your plumber who will be able to resolve the issue.

If the issue persists, we advise against attempting repairs yourself. Instead, book a repair with one of our highly trained and qualified Bosch engineers.
