Work from the wall supply towards the machine:
Check the stop valve: Ensure the isolating valve is fully open.
Confirm pressure and flow: Turn the supply off, disconnect the inlet line (if you can do so safely), and briefly run water into a bucket to confirm a strong flow. If flow is weak, the issue is upstream (building supply, valve, or pipework).
Inspect the filter setup: A blocked or overdue water filter can restrict flow and stop fills. If you use Unifrost-compatible filters such as SA30007 (kit) or cartridges like I4000.2-CN and SA950750, check the change interval and replace if in doubt.
Look for kinks/freezing: Check the inlet hose for kinks and the inlet area for signs of freezing (common in poorly ventilated cold rooms).
If water supply is good but the unit still does not fill, the likely causes are a stuck inlet valve, scaled inlet screen, or a control/fault condition that is preventing a fill cycle.
