Is your washing machine filling slowly and poorly? What are the reasons?

As usual, you've scheduled laundry and a ton of other chores. First, you plug in the washing machine, throw the dirty laundry in, pour the required amount of detergent into the dispenser, select the desired wash program, and press start. Everything seems to be business as usual! Suddenly, you notice that the washing machine is filling with water suspiciously slowly, and the wash cycle is taking a very long time. First, the most important advice is not to panic. This doesn't necessarily mean your "helper" is broken; you can probably fix it yourself.

This article will cover the main reasons why a washing machine doesn't fill with water well, as well as common problems and ways to fix them.

Self-repair of the breakdown:

A situation in which the washing machine is slow is collecting water, can be twofold. The causes could be a breakdown, an unfortunate coincidence, or simple carelessness.

So, here are the main situations in which you can solve the problem yourself:

• The water pressure in your water supply is weak. You can check the pressure visually by turning on the cold water faucet all the way. If the water barely flows, celebrate – you've found the problem.

In this case there are only 2 options:

1. continue washing, ignoring the low pressure, but be patient, because the machine will wash for a long time;
2. Wait until the water pressure in your tap returns to normal. During this time, you can call your utility company and get reliable information about the cause of the low pressure and how long it will take to fix the problem.

• 

  The shut-off valve isn't fully open. This valve opens or closes the water supply to the washing machine. If you notice the valve isn't fully open, the problem can be solved with a single hand movement—simply open it fully. It's also possible that the valve itself has become worn out. The valve may become stuck or start spinning. In this situation, you should replace the old valve yourself or call a plumber.

• There's a kink in the inlet hose. Once you've checked the water pressure and found no problems, inspect the inlet hose for a possible kink. It's likely that a kink in the hose is causing poor water flow into the washing machine. Fixing this is easy—simply straighten the hose, and the water flow will resume.

• The mesh filter of the inlet valve, which is located at the inlet of the washing machine, is clogged. Where the inlet hose connects to the washing machine, a mesh filter is installed that filters all the water entering the washing machine. Over time, the filter can become clogged and impair water flow, as tap water contains various impurities and small particles. You can fix this like this:

1. turn off the water supply;
2. unscrew the inlet hose;
3. Using pliers, very carefully remove the mesh from the inlet valve;
4. then clean it with a hard brush and rinse under strong water pressure.

A good cleaning effect is achieved with a “folk” method: The filter should be soaked in a citric acid solution for half an hour. The citric acid will dissolve the accumulated deposits, and your filter will shine like new again.

In the case where the above mentioned adviсe If your washing machine doesn't fill with water as expected and your washing machine still fills slowly, the most likely cause is a breakdown.
