How to Fix a Washing Machine That Has No Water Entering It |

Washing Machine Woes?
When no water is entering the washing machine - or you notice that there's no available cold or hot water - there are a number of things that can be going wrong:
The water supply valves: In a classic case of the old "make sure it's turned on," you'll want to make sure your water valves are up and operational. Did someone accidentally turn them off? If so, you'll want to get them running again. It can't hurt to give these valves an inspection even if they're on, simply because this will help you potentially diagnose the problem. In addition to the water supply valves, you'll want to check the entire supply line for any problems. If you've got no water, the water supply lines and water valves are a good spot to start checking for damage.
The filter screens: It also won't hurt to check your washing machine filter screens in order to see if there's any major obstruction that might mean water is being blocked out of your appliance. Even if there's not a total clog, it'd be a good idea to take this time to clean those filters so that water is flowing through naturally.
The water level switch: Note: before you check or test the water level switch, it's a good idea to disconnect the power to the washing machine. In fact, any time you try to fix an appliance like this, you'll want to avoid having the power running. You can check the water level switch to make sure it's working properly and not sending any signals that might have an impact on the level of water that is allowed to come into your washing machine.
The water temperature switch: Make sure that the water temperature switch is working properly. If you're having trouble with the lack of cold or hot water, this may be the exact thing that's causing your problem.
