Sometimes you may notice that the washing machine does not draw water well. This does not always happen due to a breakdown, and you should not immediately panic and run to the workshop. However, you should definitely figure out what is the reason for the low water supply in Samsung, Indesit or LG washing machines.
Washing machine drain
Why is the water supply slow?
This question cannot be answered unambiguously, since the malfunction is influenced by several factors:
- Insufficient water pressure. Machines from any manufacturer (Samsung, LG or Indesit) do not draw water well if there are interruptions in the water supply line.
- The filter is clogged. A common reason why a Samsung washing machine does not draw water well is a clogged filter mesh in the inlet valve.
- Lack of cold water.
- The faucet that does not supply water well to the washing machine is half closed.
- Module failure. An LG washing machine does not draw water well, often due to a breakdown of the “brain” of the technical device. In this case, only a specialist can handle the repair.
- Damage to the water level sensor.
- Heating element malfunction.

The drain pipe is leaking
The pipe dries out, it is damaged by sharp objects from clothing that have slipped from the drum into the tank, or vibrations weaken the clamps that secure the pipe to the tank on one side and the drain pump on the other. As a result, the Samsung car begins to leak.

- The pressure switch is broken.
- The valve supplying liquid to the washing machine is broken.

How can I improve the situation?
Before calling a workshop or attempting to repair the device yourself, you need to perform basic steps to find the exact cause of the washing machine malfunction and how to fix it. The first thing to check is how tightly the hatch is closed and whether the lock works. If the door is not closed properly, the machine does not turn on automatically - this is how it is protected from unforeseen circumstances, for example, from a flood.

If the hatch is fine, the problem may be the water pressure on the line. Call the utility company and find out what the problem is and how soon it will be resolved. Slow water pressure in this case will not harm the operation of the washing machine, but the washing process itself will be delayed.
Also, sometimes the tap supplying water to the washing machine is faulty, or it is not fully open.
What to do if a newborn baby is not gaining weight well, reasons and solutions
Before you panic and take any measures because your baby is not gaining weight well, you need to identify the true cause of the poor weight gain.
The main problems leading to poor weight gain include:
| Cause | What to do |
| The baby does not have enough breast milk This may happen due to:
| Often a young, inexperienced mother of a breastfed baby cannot determine whether he has enough milk. If the baby immediately falls asleep after feeding and sleeps peacefully for at least 2.5-3 hours, it means he has had a good meal. If the baby does not fall asleep immediately, sleeps restlessly and wakes up ahead of schedule, the milk received during feeding is not enough for him. You can eliminate the cause by following all the recommendations of your doctor or breastfeeding specialist. Mom needs to learn how to properly put the baby to the breast and feed him not according to a schedule, but on demand. If a nursing woman really does not have enough breast milk, all measures must be taken to increase lactation or, if the baby still does not eat enough, consult a doctor so that he can prescribe baby food appropriate for his age. |
| Formula-fed children cannot digest the infant formula recommended by their doctor. | The amount of formula drunk by a bottle-fed baby is easy to control. If your child drinks his or her allotted amount of infant formula every day, but still does not gain the required grams, you should consult a doctor. It is possible that baby food contains components that are not absorbed by the child’s body. (this especially applies to cow protein included in the composition). In this case, the doctor should choose a different formula for the baby. |
| Past illnesses | Insufficient weight gain can be caused by illnesses suffered at an early age. While the child was unwell, all the body’s forces were aimed at fighting the disease. Therefore, even a minor cold can cause weight loss. When the baby gets better, he will again begin to gain the required grams. |
| Physical stress | Physical stress of a child caused by massage, therapeutic exercises or swimming can also cause weight loss. The baby gets tired during the procedures, and they also take a lot of energy from the baby. Try to reduce all possible procedures for a while. If the baby begins to gain the required weight, it means that the whole point was too much physical activity. |
| Neurological or other diseases | Underweight may be a precursor to the development of neurological diseases in a child or the appearance of helminths. Sometimes the cause may be genetic abnormalities, which include cystic fibrosis, galactosemia or adrenogenital syndrome. Such problems should be identified and treated by specialists at a very early age. |
Every mother should know! Babies do not have the same energy reserves as adults
Therefore, it is extremely important for your baby to get enough nutrients at each feeding. Malnutrition can undermine your baby's health
DIY repair
Depending on the problem, repairs may vary. Some problems can be fixed with your own hands, while others can only be dealt with by professionals. DIY repair methods:
- If there is water on the line, but the pressure is very weak, you can simply continue washing, but regardless of the program, the washing process will take a little longer. If this option does not suit you, then you need to call the utility company and find out why the dialing has been reduced and the time frame for restoring problems on the line.
- The water supply to the washing machine can be turned off using a special tap. If it is not fully open, water will be drawn in, but very slowly. The fix is easy. If the valve is open completely, but it is clear that this is the reason, the valve itself may break down, then it will have to be replaced.
- Sometimes water does not flow well into the washing machine because the inlet hose is kinked. It is necessary to check for this problem and straighten the hose.
- At the entrance to the washing machine, where the valve is installed, there is a special filter. At times it becomes clogged, and then the liquid flows into the washing machine is weak. If you clean it, the problem will disappear.

In the case when the inlet valve or electronic module is broken, it is better not to fix the problem yourself, but to contact a specialist. Fixing the problem yourself can lead to a complete malfunction.
There can be many reasons why liquid is poorly drawn into a Samsung, Indesit or LG washing machine. For this reason, it is necessary to check several factors at once - the water pressure along the line, whether the valve is closed, whether the hatch is tightly closed, etc. Based on the cause, select a method to eliminate the problem.
Weight gain norms
In what situations should you raise the alarm? How much weight should a child gain? Now you can find a variety of tables with standards for girls and boys. There are even special calculators - they will show how much your baby should gain per month and ultimately weigh. The main advantage of such utilities is that they take into account the baby’s growth and initial data.
However, there are certain norms for weight gain. The main breakthrough should be observed in the first months of the baby’s life. So, in 30 days over the course of six months, a child gains 800-900 grams, and then up to a year - 400. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Small errors are acceptable. But severe deviations usually cause panic and fears for parents.
Software module error
Another reason why water may not flow into the washing machine is a breakdown in its “brains”. If your washing machine has a large number of different electronic advantages... Get ready for the fact that after some time this advantage may turn into a disadvantage.
Very often, such breakdowns can appear after a couple of years of using the washing machine, and most often the reason for this is improper operation of the equipment.
Since it will not be possible to repair the same control module on your own and you will have to use the help of a specialist.
The washing machine fills and immediately drains water
It happens that the washing machine fills and immediately drains water. If you encounter such a problem, then the reason may be an incorrectly connected drain from the washing machine to the sewer.
Most often, this problem is encountered by those who have just purchased a new unit and are installing it themselves. According to any instructions, the drain hose should be higher in level than the tank. From the floor this height is about 0.5-0.6 m. What is this for? To prevent water from leaking out of the washing machine and going straight into the sewer.
If the washing machine constantly fills with water, you need to make sure that the drain level is correct.
Sometimes it is quite difficult to check this, since getting to the right place is not always convenient, but this procedure is simply necessary to make sure that the equipment is in working order. But there is a simpler option.
Call the master
In situations where there is no opportunity or time to repair a washing machine, you can call a technician from a household appliance repair company. Contact information for such companies can be found on the Internet.
It is advisable to give preference to companies that have been working in the service market for years and have a reliable reputation. This circumstance will allow you to protect yourself from scammers and bad craftsmen.
The cost of the work depends on the complexity, time spent by the master, and the pricing policy of the company itself. Even within the same city, price lists of companies can have significant differences.
The average cost of work in Moscow is:
- diagnostics and repair/replacement of the control unit – from 2,000 rubles;
- replacement of the hatch locking device – from RUB 1,500;
- replacement of the pressure switch – from 1,400 rubles;
- replacement of water supply valve – from RUB 1,200.
The price of new parts is not included in the cost of work.
