Won't Fill

Washer Won't Fill with Water

Whirlpool · Washing Machines

What does Won't Fill mean?

The Washing Machine begins a cycle but no water enters the tub, or insufficient water is dispensed. This can be caused by problems with the water supply, filters, or internal components.

Common Causes

  • Water supply connections are off or blocked.
  • Plugged filter screens in water valve or hoses.
  • Drain hose installed improperly (siphoning).
  • Water inlet valve problem.
  • Pressure hose or sensor issue.
  • Washer needs calibration.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify that both the hot and cold water supply faucets to the washer are fully turned on.

  2. 2

    Check the water inlet hoses for kinks or blockages and ensure they are properly connected.

  3. 3

    Inspect the filter screens in the water valve or hoses for clogs and clean them if necessary.

  4. 4

    Ensure the drain hose is installed correctly to prevent water from siphoning out prematurely.

  5. 5

    If a new main control or drive component was installed, perform a washer calibration cycle (see manual page 4).
