Washer does not take in water and shows E10; often related to water inlet or configuration issues.

Safety first: Turn off water taps and unplug the washer before disconnecting hoses.

• Verify tap status: Ensure the cold water tap feeding the SMEG washer is fully open. Some models require only cold water; check your manual.
• Check hose connections: Confirm that the inlet hose is connected to the correct tap and to the correct inlet on the washer (if there are separate hot/cold inlets).
• Clean filters: Remove the hose from the washer and clean the mesh filters in the inlet valve as described for E02.
• Test fill: Reconnect, open taps, restore power, and run a quick wash. If E10 persists, the inlet valve coil may be open-circuit and require replacement.

Persistent E10 after these checks suggests a faulty inlet valve or control board, which should be tested by a technician.
