How to eliminate the F01 error in Hisense washing machine?
- Error: F01
- Description: Does not load water – Water supply failure
- Cause:
- Solution: Check that the tap is open. Make sure the water pressure is not too low. Request information from the local water supply company. Check that the tap is not clogged. Make sure the entrance hose filter is not clogged. Make sure the entrance hose is not bent or twisted
Checking Water Supply
Before proceeding with any other solution, it’s crucial to ensure that the water supply is functioning correctly.
- Check the supply valve: Make sure the water supply valve is fully open. Sometimes, this simple step is overlooked and can be the cause of the problem.
- Status of Faucets: The faucets providing water to the washing machine should be fully open. Verify that there are no obstructions or issues with these connections.
- Water Hoses: Inspect the water hoses that run from the supply valve to the washing machine. Ensure they are not clogged or bent, as this can restrict the flow of water.
- Sufficient Pressure: Verify that the water pressure reaching the washing machine is adequate. Insufficient pressure may be the cause of the F01 error.
Adjusting Water Temperature
If your Hisense washing machine has options for both cold and hot water, it’s important to ensure that both valves are correctly open. If only one of the two is open, the washing machine may not receive enough water to operate properly.
Checking the Water Inlet Hose
- Disconnect the washing machine from the electrical outlet to ensure safety during the process.
- Access the water inlet hose. Ensure it is not bent, damaged, or obstructed in any way.
- If any damages are found, it’s crucial to replace the hose to prevent future water supply issues.
Verifying Water Pressure
Low water pressure can be the underlying cause of the F01 error code. To check the water pressure, you can do so at the faucet nearest to the washing machine. If the pressure is low, it’s advisable to contact a plumber to address the issue.

- Remove the dispenser drawer following the user manual’s instructions.
- Check for possible obstructions in the drawer.
- Thoroughly clean the drawer and ensure there are no residues that may affect water flow.
- Reinsert the drawer securely in its place.
By following these detailed steps, you’ll be able to address and resolve the F01 error on your Hisense washing machine. Always remember to disconnect the washing machine from the electrical outlet before performing any checks or maintenance. Enjoy optimal performance from your appliance!
