Bosch Dishwasher Error Code No water filling

This fault means the dishwasher started a cycle but could not draw in enough water to proceed. The control system detected insufficient fill volume and halted the cycle to protect internal components. On models like the WFL 2060, the Wash indicator light will flash to signal this condition. The most common causes are a closed supply valve, a clogged inlet strainer, or water pressure below 1 bar.

No, you should not attempt to run the dishwasher while this fault is active. The appliance halts the cycle specifically to prevent the wash pump and heating element from operating without water, which can cause overheating and component damage. Resolve the water supply issue before starting another cycle.

If the fix is simply opening the supply valve or cleaning the inlet strainer, there is no parts cost and the repair is a DIY task. If the water inlet solenoid valve needs to be replaced, parts typically run in the range of $25 to $80 depending on the model, with professional labor adding $75 to $150 or more depending on your area. A thorough diagnosis of the supply line, strainer, and valve before ordering parts will help avoid unnecessary expense.

Start by confirming the water supply valve is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked. Next, disconnect the fill hose at the back of the appliance and inspect the small mesh strainer screen for sediment or scale buildup. Clean or replace the screen, reconnect the hose, and run a short cycle to test. If the fault persists after these steps, the water inlet solenoid valve may need to be tested and replaced.

A reset may clear the fault display temporarily, but the error will return on the next cycle if the underlying cause has not been corrected. To clear the fault permanently, you need to restore proper water supply by opening the valve, cleaning the strainer, or ensuring pressure is above 1 bar. Only after the root cause is fixed will the machine complete a cycle without reactivating the fault.
