Will it fill from the hot tap?
If so, you might just need a new cold valve.

It would only be either cold or hot that does not work. Replace the Inlet solenoid under the top panel.
You can use the same aftermarket valves for both (Original FP valves are different, cold is wildly expensive compares to hot). http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fisher-Paykel-Cold-24Volt-Compatible-Inlet-Valve-Part-FP420148S-/130833870254?pt=AU_ApplianceAccessoriesParts&hash=item1e764e6dae&_uhb=1

    The other option, if you only wash in cold water is to simply swap the valves over

Asea Cylinda 1400 dishwasher not filling. Keeps waiting for water to fill. Continues normally if manually add water. Tap is on and water available.

The incoming water valve is faulty. Look at the back of the machine where the hose connection runs into the machine, there should be a solenoid operated water valve there. Check that out or replace it.

Washer won t fill water

pipes maybe clear but is your area wher you live prone to limescaling? where the water pipe/pipes go into the machine there is a switch to shut on/off the flow of water during whatever cycle you want.this might be blocked or sticking. first try to select different cycles and see if any of those fills the machine with water. if no water comes its one of two things. that switch is faulty or communication between the switch and the front consule is at fault.
contact your supplier after trying to go thru a few different cycles.

Hi my GW709 7.5 smartdrive excellence won't fill with water and won't agitate if I manually fill it , help me please

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows though the inlet then the flow pressure should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.

Washing machine fills with water when not in use.

Either your pressure in the main line bringing water to your machine is insufficient; or your intake water valve is defective; which you can replace easily.

Washing machine fills with water when not in use.

You have an open solenoid on your water valve where the fill hoses connect. Change the water valve and you should be good.
