What the E11 Error Means
The E11 error code generally indicates that the washing machine is filling with water too slowly or not at all. This may prevent the washing machine from starting or completing a wash cycle correctly.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water supply tap partially closed
The tap behind the machine may not be fully open, restricting water flow.
Kinked or blocked inlet hose
The water inlet hose may be bent or blocked, preventing water from entering the machine freely.
Blocked inlet filter
The small filter where the inlet hose connects to the machine may be partially blocked with debris.
Faulty water inlet valve
The valve that controls water entering the machine may not be opening correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the water supply tap
Make sure the tap behind the washing machine is fully open.
Inspect the inlet hose
Check the hose for kinks or blockages and straighten if necessary.
Clean the inlet filter
Unscrew the inlet hose from the back of the machine and check the small filter for debris. Rinse it clean and refit.
