Bosch WGA244ABUS 2.4 cu ft 500 Series Compact Washer E13 Error Fix: Water Inlet Timeout

The washer did not detect adequate water intake within the allowed fill time. Check that both hot and cold water supply faucets are fully open. Remove inlet hoses and clean the mesh filter screens at the water inlet valve — sediment and mineral deposits are the most common cause. Verify household water pressure is at least 20 PSI. Test inlet valve solenoids for continuity. Replace the inlet valve if a solenoid coil is open.
