What to do when Washer does not fill with water shows on the applianceKind of codeWater 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Smeg's own guidance for Washer does not fill with water on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open the water faucets fully, confirming both are actually turned on rather than just cracked.
Check the water inlet hose and straighten it if it is folded or kinked.
Clean the water inlet strainers where the hose connects to the machine.
If the washer still will not fill once these are confirmed clear, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into water supply and shutoff connection. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
A fill failure traced to closed faucets or a folded hose is an installation detail, not a failed water valve; it is a different condition from water arriving but never being sensed, which the manual treats separately.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
