Did you check the small screens at the water hose hook-up valve? sometimes those get clogged up.
It sounds like a water flow issue..or lack thereof.

"Check the tap" means difficulty with inlet water.
Before anything I suggest to clean the water inlet filters as described in the user manual.

my electrolux ewf14012 washing machine stops with  - cleaning inlet valve filter-kjr1zbbqwoqdv4an3hks3bv2-1-0.jpg
otherwise could be:
Tap closed or water pressure too low; drain pipe improperly
positioned; water fill solenoid valve faulty; leaks from water circuit on
pressure switch; pressure switch faulty; wiring faulty; main PCB
faulty.

SOURCE: Miele G575 slow and insufficient water fill

The unit has a double valve system, the waterproof, it could be that one of the valves is not opening fully. They can break down over time. This would mean you need a new one. This should fix the problem.
Open the door once the wash has started and check the water level. It could be that it is siphoning out half way through the wash. Make sure your drain hose is secured up properly.
If when you open the wash and there is not enough water, it is most likely the waterproof, as I stated before.
cheers.

SOURCE: Washer keeps displaying '4E' Lack of water error

If you have pulled out and cleaned the filter at the back of the machine where the hose connects then I would check that your pump is not running during the cycle and also make sure your drain line is at least half way above your drum at its highest point, If its too low then it will drain off even if the pump is not running.

SOURCE: Washing Machine keeps stopping and says "water tap closed?"

Wonderful!! Would you mind giving me a "problem solved" rating -- there should be icons on the screen to do that.

thanks...

SOURCE: 4E showing on Samsung Washing Machine

When error message 4E is displayed, you should clean the water hose mesh filter. To do this:

1. Turn off the water source to the washing machine.
2. Unscrew the hose from the back of the washing machine.
3. With a pair of pliers, gently pull out the mesh filter from the end of the hose and rinse it under water until clean. Also clean the inside and outside of the threaded connector.
4. Push the filter back into place.
5. Screw the hose back onto the washing machine.
6. Turn on the faucet and make sure the connections are watertight.


Also, please check the following:
• Make sure the source water faucet is turned on.
• Check the water pressure.

Electrolux Ecovalve EWF1087 wont progress past wash

If the machine is not progressing past the wash cycle and is stopping at the end of it, there could be a few possible reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the water inlet valve: If the water inlet valve is faulty or clogged, it can prevent the machine from progressing to the rinse cycle. Check to ensure that the water inlet valve is clean and functioning properly.
  2. Check the drain pump: If the drain pump is faulty or clogged, it can cause the machine to stop at the end of the wash cycle. Check to ensure that the drain pump is clean and functioning properly.
  3. Check the door latch: If the door latch is not engaging properly, it can prevent the machine from progressing to the rinse cycle. Check to ensure that the door latch is clean and functioning properly.
  4. Check the pressure switch: The pressure switch detects the water level in the machine and signals when to advance to the next cycle. If the pressure switch is faulty, it can cause the machine to stop at the end of the wash cycle. Check to ensure that the pressure switch is clean and functioning properly.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, it may be best to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

My electrolux EWF14012 washing machine stops with water safety alert What do I do

Ok when this happens what it is is water has leaked into the base of the washer and activated the flood switch.
What you need to do is pull the washer out and lean it 45 degress backwards. This will allow the water to drain from the base so you may need a towel for that part.
Once the water is out the flood switch will reset itself and clear this fault. Then see how it goes from there.
But if it happens again then something is leak under there and you need to find the fault and fix it to sort it.
But if you do the above then you should be able to sort it from there.

Washer chimes, stops washing and says "No Water". Happening with every other load. Washer & dryer set is only three months old!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,
John C

Hi Ihave an electrolux EWD 1477 washer/ dryer. It keeps showing up an error 20 (E20) and starts beeping and stops working? Any ideas what it could be? Thanks kindly

Drainage problem. If it is a new installation the possible causes can be:
- The drainage hose is too deep in the drain (can only be max. 10 cm. in the drain, and the drain height may be a minimum of 30cm and a maximum of 80cm from the floor);
-
The drainage pump may be blocked (clean it);
- The drain is clogged.

Bosch WF2001 washes only 30 degrees programmes

We had this problem and it turned out in our case that the hot water inlet filter was blocked. The pump wasn't receiving any hot water into the machine so wouldn't start on anything except a cold (30degree) wash.

We turned off the the hot water tap on the plumbing at the back, disconnected the inlet pipe from the machine, then put the end of the pipe in a bucket and turned the water back on, and saw loads of sediment spurted out.

We ran it until we'd filled the bucket, then turned the tap off, emptied the bucket down the drain, then disconnected the hose from the plumbing and cleaned the hose separately (there's a gauze at the plumbing end of the hose so make sure that's clean).

Then get some pliers and where the hose attatches to the machine there's a filter that you can pull out. Clean this out. In our case this was completely blocked with limescale sediment etc.

Reconnect everything, check it's all tightly fastened etc. then turn the tap on the plumbing back on - turn it on to a hot wash, press start ...and in our case it all worked a dream again.

All this info is in the manual if you've got one, but I thought I'd write it out in case you've got this problem and don't have the manual.

Ahhhhh... cleeean washing again! Hope this works for you. Happy go laundry!

Leaking washer

Check the pump where the shaft connects. Is it wet or rusty? If so replace the pump...
