does sound like the cold valve may have failed

you could try this
turn machine to the rinses and let it fill. when it stops filling, assuming the motor does not start turning indicating its not full enough , turn it off at the plug and leave it for 15 mins or so then come back and switch on. if the timer is causing the problem i would expect it not to fill but if the valve is faulty, it will have cooled down and should start filling

or you could take the plunge and fit a new one

Thanks Dave for your response, much appreciated. I will try the precedure you mention first and take it from there.

Hello Dave, I went through the precedure you mention above today. This is what happened. I put it in the rinse cycle and switched on, it started to fill then stopped, the drum didnt start turning. I switch off at the socket like you said for I think around 20/25 mins. I then switched on at the socket and it started to fill again then stopped. I switched off again at the socket then switched on again later and it started to fill, this time the drum kicked in and started to turn.

If this is the water inlet valve can I purchase one from UK whitegoods? Kind regards and thank you for your help.

sounds very much like a valve failure

Hello Dave, its been a few days since I last posted. I received my valve yesterday from uk whitegoods. Fitted it tonight and turned the machine on for the E wash cycle. I watched the whole cycle from start to finish, it went through the whole cycle faultlessly. You were right, the valve was faulty. Thank you very much for helping me out I really appreciate it. I would also like to thank the other members who were willing to help as well.

As I watched the wash cycle I did notice something that may or may not be a problem. Although the water came into the machine as it should and the towels were soaked. The water level didnt come up to the door at any time. Is this how it should be or should the water level be higher?

if it does come up the door it would only do that on the rinses

dont worry unless it causes a problem
