How to fix it
- Verify both hot and cold supply valves are fully open.
- Disconnect hoses and check inlet screens for sediment — clean or replace.
- Straighten hoses and confirm no kinks behind the unit.
- Measure 120 VAC at the inlet valve during fill; replace valve if voltage present but no flow.
- Inspect the pressure sensor hose for water or debris and clear the air dome.
- If still failing, replace the pressure sensor or main control board.
Why it happens
Typical signs: Cycle pauses early in fill · Slow trickle from inlet hoses · E10, E11, or E13 on display · No water entering tub
- Closed or restricted water valves Hot/cold supply valves not fully open or saddle valves partially closed.
- Clogged inlet screens Mesh screens at the inlet valve block sediment and clog over time.
- Kinked fill hoses Hoses pinched behind the machine reduce flow below the timeout threshold.
- Failed water inlet valve solenoid Solenoid coil open or stuck — won't open even with 120 VAC applied.
- Pressure sensor or air dome tube fault Control never sees the level reached because the sensor or tube is plugged.
