Display shows H20; washer does not fill or fills very slowly; may pause and retry filling.

Safety first: Unplug the washer and close the water tap.

H20 is a water supply-related error on many Hotpoint digital models.

• Verify water pressure: Open the tap feeding the washer into a bucket. If flow is weak, contact your plumber or water supplier.
• Clean inlet filters: Disconnect the inlet hose at the washer. Remove and clean the small mesh filters in the valve.
• Check hose condition: Ensure the hose is not kinked, crushed, or frozen (in cold environments). Replace if necessary.
• Test inlet valve: Access the valve and check coil resistance. Replace the valve if open circuit or if it does not open when powered (testing live should only be done by qualified persons).
• Re-test: Reconnect everything, turn on water, and run a rinse cycle.
