Beko washing machine not filling - pipe issue?

[Burnsie1983]

Hi

I recently had plumbing work to my heating pipes (not fresh water). Everything works, but I had my water turned off for a few days.

So, I turned my washing machine on (to wash the smelly towels I used to mop up water from a leak, hence the water being turned off).

But it's no worky!!

The machine works on spin cycle, so it's not a door issue

There is no kink in the water pipe

I've cleaned the filters front and back

Still no worky

When I start a cycle I can hear the pump trying to pull water in

Question is, could it be as a result of the water being turned off. When I discount the rear hose, should water flow out of not turned off at the value (blue valve in pic)?

Upon reconnection of tne supply, the water should have immediately filled tne pipe up to tne wm internal valve,so may be a coincidental failure of tne pump.

Yes water should flow out, but that blue handle is in the off position

Yeah, I've been toddling it in case what I do (ie at the boiler) suddenly makes it work/flow

Boiler??? Disconnect the hose at machine end, place into a suitable receptacle and open the valve, no water flow would suggest the valve is gubbed or something had got into the supply and blocked it. You could confirm this by disconnecting at the valve end and see if the ball turns

Sorted!

When I had a leak I turned the main tap off but there was one next to it under the sink that I also turned off. Turns out that that was for the washing machine

Yes, with the blue valve on, in line with the valve/pipe - water should come out of the pipe, at the washer end.

The water isn't pumped in, rather a solenoid valve should open to admit the water, near the top of the machine, letting water into the soap drawer.
