Symptoms

  • Fill takes much longer than normal
  • Stops mid-fill with E11
  • Low household water pressure

Common Causes

1
Low water pressure

Household supply below ~20 psi can't fill in time.

2
Partially clogged inlet screens

Common after plumbing work or in homes with hard water.

3
Weak inlet valve solenoid

Coil partially opens — passes some water but not full flow.

4
Leak in tub or hose during fill

Water level never rises because it's escaping.

How to Fix It

  1. Run a separate faucet to confirm normal household water pressure.
  2. Clean inlet valve screens.
  3. Watch for leaks under the washer during fill.
  4. Replace the inlet valve if flow is weak with full pressure upstream.
  5. If problem persists, replace the pressure sensor.
