Washer-dryer combo takes in very little or no water; cycles stall at the beginning.

Safety first: Turn off water supply and unplug the unit before disconnecting hoses.

Step-by-step checks:

• Verify water supply: Ensure both hot and cold valves are fully open and household pressure is adequate.
• Inspect hoses and screens: Disconnect hoses at the back of the washer and clean the small inlet screens in the valve. Straighten any kinks in hoses.
• Test valve operation: During a fill (with panels in place and power on), listen for a humming valve. If it hums but no water flows and supply is good, the valve may be blocked or failed.

When to replace: Replace the water inlet valve assembly if cleaning screens and verifying supply does not restore normal fill.
