As usual, you have planned laundry and a sea of other household chores, the first thing you do is plug in the washing machine cord, throw the dirty laundry into the tank, pour the required amount of powder into the cuvette, select the required washing program, press start. Everything seemed to be going on as usual! By chance, you notice that the washing machine is suspiciously slow to draw water, and the washing process goes on for a very long time. First, the main advice is not to panic, this circumstance does not mean that your "helper is broken", probably everything can be fixed with your own hands.
The topic of this article will be the main reasons why the washing machine has poor water intake, as well as the main problems and ways to eliminate them.
Independent elimination of the breakdown:
The situation in which the "washing machine" slowly draws water slowly, can be twofold. The reasons can become both the breakage, and unfortunate confluence of circumstances or simple inattention.
So, the basic situations at which occurrence it is possible to solve a problem independently:
- There is a weak water pressure in the plumbing. To check the pressure you can visually open the tap with cold water to the stop. If the water barely flows from the tap, triumph, the problem is found.
In this case, there are only two options:
- Continue washing, not paying attention to the low pressure, but you should have patience, because the machine will wash for a long time;
- wait until the water pressure in the faucet becomes normal. During this time, you can dial the phone number of the utilities and find out reliably about the causes of low pressure and the time to fix the problem.
-
Electronics Problem Stop valve is not fully open. With this valve closes or opens the water supply for the washing machine. If you find a valve is not fully open, the problem is solved with one movement of the hand - just open the valve to the stop. It may happen that the physical deterioration received the faucet itself. The valve may stall or begin to twist. In this situation, you must yourself make a replacement of the old faucet with a new one or call a plumber.
- There is a kink in the water inlet hose. When you have checked the water pressure and found no problems, it is necessary to inspect the supply hose, possibly the formation of a bend: it is likely that the cause of poor water flow into the "washer" was a bend in the hose. It is easy to solve the problem - just straighten the hose and the water flow will resume.
- The strainer of the filling valve, which is installed at the inlet of the washing machine, is clogged. In the place where the fill hose connects to the washing machine, a strainer is installed, which passes through itself all the water coming into the washing machine. Over time, the filter can clog and poorly pass water, as tap water contains various impurities and small particles. This can be corrected as follows:
- shut off the water supply;
- unscrew the water inlet hose;
- using pliers, very carefully pull out the sieve from the inlet valve;
- then clean it with a stiff brush and rinse under strong water pressure.
In the event that the aforementioned tips did not bring the expected success, and your washing machine, still, slowly draws water, then, the most probable cause may be a breakdown.
In the table there are possible problems and their elimination:
| Breakdown | Repair or replacement | Service cost (parts+repair) |
| Intake Valve Failure | Due to a malfunction, the electronic valve, which regulates the flow of water into the washing machine, can not open fully, and the "washing machine" simply "physically" has no ability to draw the required amount of water.
In this case, the valve must be replaced with a new one. |

This situation is exactly the opposite of what we have just described. The intake valve is unable to open because the control module is not giving the correct command due to a malfunction.
