Washing Machine Slow to Fill Up? It's Your Inlet Screen!

*ATTENTION: We apologize for the audio and we're currently working on posting another video soon that fixes this.*

Is your washing machine slow to fill up with water?

If it’s not a brand-new machine, then it’s probably clogged. And if all your faucets run slowly, the problem could be in the water supply pipes.

However, if just the clothes washer is slow, the problem is probably nothing more complicated than clogged inlet screens.

Here’s how to clean your inlet screens and get your washing machine filling up with water quickly again.

Tom, good information; you may want to improve your audio portion.

You sir are a man among boys, a king among men. Thank you for saving me money and headaches by putting this video together.

YOU PUT THE FILTER IN BACKWARDS!!! This will dent the copper screen on the inside and make taking it out next time a pain.

[SherryBrubakerPollock]

Thank you for making this video. Following your instructions, my husband and I tackled our trickling cold water line. The filter was completely caked in mostly black sediment!! 😵

I was able to clean it off pretty easily with a nylon brush, so soaking wasn't necessary. And when my husband ran a load with nothing but cold water, the trickle was now a waterfall!! 🥳

As for sorting darks and lights, I'm more careful when washing my dark and bright colored cottons, particularly my darkest blue jeans. Even though they're 3 years old, they still transferred some dye to my new Christmas pj's. Oops!

Thank you for the very useful tip, Tom !! It works just fine now (the washer filling, that is) !!

clogged filter will not cause hose to burst. Any time the water isn't filling the hoses are at the standard house pressure a clogged filter will not change this pressure.

Good information, even with the audio problems.

My machine was making a whistling noise. Found out that my water inlet was bad, the cause was a clogged inlet valve caused by hard water. Replaced the valve and will clean the inlet valve each year to avoid the problem happening again. Thanks for the video!

Your volume is horrible, but thank you

[jackb]

I suggest you find the guy who spliced together your video and ask him to bring the narration audio track level back to normal. This is a very basic task when video editing.

[sandrarichardson]

Video was plain and simple. I will not tell you the volume was way too low since so many others already said so. Jesus bless.

[nataliedaley]

Is there a reason you put the filter back in backwards?

[k.j]

Dont watch this video if everyone is asleep around you. Thank you the video Tom

[DocEnnik]

Thank you I was able to get the screen thing out. I had to turn it up because you were talking quietly and then your Channel turn music on really loud and I had to run away from my that I was watching your channel on YouTube well I was trying to fix the washer and watch my daughter at the same time starts bouncing back and forth. Just happened to be your music turned up well I checking in my little one have a good day I appreciate it I was able to fix it intelligent information🎉

[royshashibrock]

Good video, but audio almost too low to hear, even with YT max volume, PC max volume. I wonder why people won't screen their videos for problems before posting...

[miketmcd]

Looks like a great video. I’m gonna check out some lip reading tutorials and be back here to get this great information!
