Flake of scale in the solenoid valve. Take it apart and fettle it, or
replace with one scrounged from a dead machine.

Never knowingly understood.

Yes if it's some grit from the water supply or some scale that was
loosened by installing the new machine, which is now blocking the
inlet valve from completely closing, the supplier may not consider it
warranty?
However if it's a faulty inlet water valve one would consider it to be
the suppliers responsibility for the warranty period?


The damn thing is a month old. It was installed and is now faulty.
That's it.

Why are you even contemplating dicking around with it?

All you need to do is to call the supplier and insist that they come
and fix it, and not get into a discussion with them as to why it may
have a problem.

The solution is almost certainly that they would replace the solenoid
valve, a component costing ten pounds at the most. They are highly
unlikely to take it apart and look - it would cost more than the part
and attendance cost.
