Smeg's own troubleshooting table lists faucets turned off, a folded water inlet hose, and clogged water inlet strainers as the standard causes of a washer that does not fill, all ahead of anything electrical in the same chart. Smeg appliance display What to do when Washer does not fill with water shows on the appliance ### Kind of code Water supply and drain The new appliance is reporting what it gets from the water connections behind it. A no-water or slow-fill message on the first fill usually means the supply valve is still closed or only half open, or the new line kinked when the unit slid back; a drain message means the drain hose is pinched, pushed too deep into the standpipe, or looped higher or lower than the installation instructions allow. Open the valve fully, straighten the hose, set it to the height the manual gives, and run the cycle again. ### Usually leads to Water supply and shutoff connection New supply lines from a working quarter-turn stop to each water appliance, tested under pressure. ### Shows up as Appliance Installation Code on a New Unit: Setup Modes and Hookup Messages An appliance installation code is a message a new unit shows because of how it was set up: a demo mode, a water or drain alert, a vent warning or a power check. ### Make Smeg Smeg installs run from pro-style and retro-look ranges with their hoods to the rounded refrigerators and integrated dishwashers the brand is known for. ### Source Smeg WM24UWH washer owner's guide and installation instructions Confirmed on Smeg's WM24UWH front-loading automatic washer owner's guide and installation instructions. ## Before you book, in this order.

Open the water faucets fully, confirming both are actually turned on rather than just cracked. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What is the first thing to check when a new Smeg laundry machine won't fill? Smeg's own chart puts closed faucets first, ahead of anything inside the machine, so confirming both hot and cold are fully open is the quickest check. ### Could a folded inlet hose stop a Smeg laundry machine from filling? Yes, the manual lists a folded water inlet hose as a direct cause, worth straightening out behind the machine before assuming a part has failed. ### Is a fill failure on a Smeg laundry machine ever electrical? The same chart does list power and outlet checks as a possible cause alongside the water-supply items, so it is worth confirming the machine is plugged into a live outlet if the water side checks out. --- **[Read on the site: Smeg laundry machine will not fill: check the faucets and inlet hose first](https://applianceinstallation.center/error-codes/smeg-water-fill-error/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceInstallation.center](https://applianceinstallation.center/schedule/)**
