Not filling with water: Codes, Causes & Fixes

An appliance that won't take in water most often has a closed or partly closed supply valve, a kinked inlet hose, clogged inlet screens or – on some models – a triggered anti-flood system. Low household water pressure can also cause a fill timeout code. Turn off the water and unplug the machine before removing the hose to check the small mesh screen; if water pressure and screens are fine, the inlet valve or door switch may be the cause.
