When using the smart drive 051 the machine attempts to start filling (on a cold wash) then the water flow switches off after a few seconds and timing is inconsistent of the attempts to fill. After 3 attempts to fill a warning light comes on and the machine beeps and stops. Hot water fills fine. Please advise!!!

Have you unplugged it for a couple of minutes to see if reseting it will clear out the error

problem in hot water tap
hot water solenoid not activating to let water in
to prove either switch the hoses on the taps and press cold water wash
that proves the tap
then press hot wash and that proves the solenoid

Need to know the error code to help you. When it beeps, take note of the top row of lights & count from right to left. Tell me exactly which lights are on & which are off. Also, tell me if any other lights are blinking. The only thing the tiler would of disconnected are the inlet water hoses. Check that the hose from the cold tap is on the cold inlet & hot tap is on the hot inlet. Marked C & H on back of panel.

Hello,

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it in again?

Check the door switch

maybe there is dirt inside the water valve.try to open and clean.if there still problem water-valve defective.

Hi just read your posting.Now what water temp have you selected for wash?Is it cold, warm, or hot?Sounds like a water flow problem to me.The water valves on your model of machine sometimes sound like they are filling correctly but they only let a little bit of water in.How long does it take to fill your machine and start agitating when you have selected low water level?Please reply with additional information and I am sure I can help you rectify this fault.Looking forward to your reply.

I think the water inlet valve is nearly stopped up with sediment in the screen filter where the supply hose screws to the valve.Cut the water off at the hose and disconnect and look for the screen. The hot water usually doensn't do this because the water has time to settle everything out while it's in the hot water heater.

Hi, I have the same problem and for my wahsing machine it is block pump, so I turn the machine on and advance it to spin and turn the pump fan to help clear the block, the pump locate at the buttom of the basket of the machine...

You either have a defective pressure switch or water inlet valve. Start to fill the machine with warm water so that both solenoids on the water inlet valve (hot and cold) are activated. After about 30-60 seconds, push the timer knob in to stop water flow. If the water continues to flow, replace the water inlet valve. If this is the case, it may take a few times of starting and stopping water flow to allow solenoid to heat up and become symptomatic. If water flow stops abruptly each time knob is pushed in, you most likely have a defective pressure switch (water level switch).
