"AQM9D49USK" My washer/dryer doesn't fill with water at the first stage. I have checked everything. Seems like it's the magnetic valve that doesn't open. Is it the valve or is it the CPU that's the problem? After avile F5 starts blinking. Is there any way to reset it? Hoping for answers! / Marcus Jansson. Sweden
Hi If the washer won't fill you'll need to check for the water
inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the pressure/water level switch assembly.
Inspect the inlet hose coming to the washer for any blockages. If the hose is
not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will
not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and
should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet
valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace
the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the
pressure/water level switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps...
Please post back if you need more information.

Hi F5 probably indicates that the drain motor filter is blocked and needs cleaning.Check both the drain filter and the drain motor. The filter is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out. After the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger. Make sure the power is off.
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning.
Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

The pump is alright. When the machine starts the pump runs for a while, then it stops.
(I've checked it again now, and nothing in there.)
But the water never gets past the magnetic valve in the inlet...
Hope you can read my bad english.
I posted a comment, but I can't see it..
I've checked the pump, it's clean and working.
But the water can't get past the magnetic valve in the inlet as it seems...
My wife run a machine yesterday morning, but after loading in again, a second time, it didn't start.
After some minutes F5 starts blinking, So even today when I have tried.
Sorry for bad English. // Marcus
The drain pump is clean and runs good.
The water doesn't get by the magnetic valve in the inlet, as it seems.
I found a little blue box with a vacuum "hose" connected...
I disconnected the hose and **** on the inlet of the box, Smack, then the machine started filling with water... I guess that's the pressure switch... Don't know if it works fine now, but now I know what the problem could be.
Thanks Daniel!!
I got som hints, and fount the pressure switch might be the cause of my problem! Thanks!!!
