has nothing to do with those hoses. they are set to allow only a measured amount of water to enter the machine in a given time scale. machine does not detect these and if will give a water fill fault if they activate

Don’t think it was the hose – I posted that on a different thread but it was merged – because I didn’t know how to correctly get it off – found out so that’s now done.

The question is do you think the puddle on the floor underneath the machine (which was not caused by the machine in any way) was detected inside the machine electronically? There was no water inside it that I could see.

I have left the machine open to air – today is a very good day for that.

🙂 I thought I’d try and turn it on while the back was off as today has been excellent for drying off purposes and it worked! Happy Days! 😀

It worked with the back on and now it is washing clothes

Thank you for all your help :innocent:

Please do share what I’ve found on the Aqua stop hose for others like me who need it

Hi. I also had an EFO error code. This post was helpful because there were 2 things that needed fixing and 1 of them was the aqua stop hose which had tripped and had a red dot showing. I removed and replaced with a standard universal hose. All good. However the error code EFO was still showing and washer wasn’t working. I tried the tilting 45 degrees (no water came out and I don’t think this is the best plan – rather do the below first) and cleaning the filter (which did need a drain and clean) but that didn’t help. So I removed the back of the washer (easy just unscrew 6 screws and remove plastic cover) – make sure appliance is unplugged and water hose disconnected to be safe. What you see inside on the floor of the base is a small circuit on a square of polystyrene which must act as a float and if water gets in to the base it will lift and push the circuit up which causes the error and stops the machine working. I simple placed the circuit back in to its place (there are little plastic holes that hold it in place) and it was fixed! Luckily I didn’t have any leak inside the machine. I can only assume the circuit/safety switch was knocked out of place when we were moving and installing the machine. Hope that helps.
