Dishwasher will not start a cycle; F1 appears on the display shortly after pressing Start.

Safety first: Disconnect the dishwasher from mains power and close the water tap before removing any panels.

• Check water supply: Ensure the kitchen water tap feeding the dishwasher is fully open. Verify that other taps in the house have normal pressure.
• Inspect inlet hose: Pull the dishwasher slightly forward and check that the Fagor inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the cabinet. Straighten if needed.
• Clean inlet filter: Close the water tap, unscrew the inlet hose from the tap, and remove the small mesh filter inside the hose connector. Rinse under running water and reinstall.
• Test fill: Reconnect the hose, open the tap, restore power, and run a short program. If F1 returns and you hear no filling sound, the Fagor water inlet valve may be defective and should be replaced.
• When to call a technician: If you measure correct water pressure and the hose/filter are clear but the valve does not open or hum, replacement of the inlet valve assembly and electrical testing should be done by a qualified technician.
