Although water is at correct pressure and is proven to be there at the entry tube to the rear of the machine, water is not getting into the drum. I can hear water dribbling into the front soap dish but in order to carry out a wash I have to physically pour water into the drum. Could this be the failure of a valve or a build up of limescale in the machine cold water entry tube? If this is a valve failure, is it possible to replace the valve? Thank you

Thank you for your suggestion. I don't suppose I can physically check the valve? I will probably have to replace it to see whether the fault was actually the valve? A process of elimination.

this is likely to be an inlet valve fault.they can be replaced in 10-15mins with top removed
