What the FH Error Code Means
The FH error code indicates a water supply fault — the washing machine cannot draw water from the household supply. This is most commonly caused by the water tap being closed or the inlet hose being restricted, and is often straightforward to resolve without the need for a repair call.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water supply tap turned off
The most common cause. If the tap supplying water to the washing machine has been turned off or is only partially open, the machine will not fill.
Kinked or blocked inlet hose
A kinked, twisted or blocked water inlet hose will prevent water from flowing into the machine.
Blocked inlet filter
A small mesh filter inside the water inlet valve connection at the back of the machine can become clogged with debris from the water supply over time.
Low water pressure
If household water pressure is very low, the machine may not receive water at an adequate rate to fill within the expected time.
Faulty water inlet valve
If the inlet valve has failed it may not open to allow water to flow into the drum.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the water supply tap
Ensure the tap supplying the washing machine is fully open.
Check the inlet hose
Inspect the water inlet hose at the back of the machine for any kinks or bends that could be restricting water flow. Straighten if necessary.
Clean the inlet filter
Turn off the water supply tap. Disconnect the inlet hose from the back of the machine. Inside the connection point on the machine you will find a small mesh filter — remove it carefully and rinse under running water. Refit and reconnect the hose securely.
Restart the washing machine
After completing the above checks, switch the machine off, wait a few minutes, switch back on and restart the programme.
