Possible Causes
Water tap partially closed, Inlet filter clogged, Kinked inlet hose, Faulty water inlet valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.
- Check water tap: Confirm the supply tap is fully open.
- Inspect inlet hose: Ensure the Panasonic inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the machine.
- Clean inlet filter: Remove and clean the mesh filter at the hose or valve connection.
- Check water level: Start a cycle and open the door after filling; water should reach just below the door filter area. If low, suspect the inlet valve.
If U14 persists after these steps, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
