There is NO discussion of this problem in the manual. *I called
the help line; got somebody who said he had no idea.
So, does anybody have suggestions for diagnosing why
no water comes in? *And is it repairable by unhandy moi

The water valve is electrically operatored. *The solenois may be bad or the
control that sends the power to the valve may be bad. *Do you hear a click?
The valve is in the front behind the lower panel.
check to see if power is going toit as step one.


But, the float switch, used to shut off the incoming water when the
level is high enough, is also in the circuit, so you must check the
float switch as well. If the switch is stuck, due to debris, for
example, in the up position, water will not come in because the
machine thinks it is already filled with water.
