Does your Fisher & Paykel washer begin a cycle without taking in water? I know this is annoying when the clothes are waiting in a dry tub.

Luckily, the trouble is often outside the washer. Start with the hoses you can see behind it, then work back toward the water supply.

Fisher & Paykel Washer Not Filling: What to Check

Look for crushed hoses first. Then open both faucets, clean the inlet screens, and check the lid before asking someone to test the valve.

Look for a Crushed Inlet Hose

Pull the washer forward enough to see both hoses. Remove any sharp bends and replace a split or swollen hose.

These check also prevents leaks.

If cold water enters but warm water does not, check why the Fisher and Paykel washer is not heating water. Weak inlet flow can also explain detergent left in the Fisher and Paykel drawer.

Make Sure Both Faucets Are Open

Turn the hot and cold faucets fully on. A partly closed faucet are easy to miss, especially after plumbing work.

Clean the Inlet Screens

Turn off power and water, remove the hoses, and gently rinse the screens. A dirty screen may needs cleaning. Clean screens point you toward the door or inlet valve instead.

Close the Lid or Door

Move clothes away from the edge and close it gently. There may be small item near the latch.

Let a Technician Check the Water Valve

If the supply is good but no water enters, there is several electrical checks a technician should make.
