Why is my CANDY CDI 2012-80 dishwasher not filling with water?
Frequently Asked Questions - 22/04/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If your CANDY CDI 2012-80 dishwasher is not filling with water, several causes may be behind this problem. Here are the checks and solutions to consider:

1. Check the water supply

  • Make sure the water supply tap is fully open.
  • Check that the water inlet hose is not kinked, crushed, or blocked.

2. Clean the filters and check the hoses

  • Inspect and clean the filter located at the entrance of the water hose to avoid any obstruction.
  • Ensure that the hoses do not have deposits or blockages preventing water flow.

3. Check the water pressure

Low pressure may prevent the machine from filling. Check the water pressure of your home installation.

4. Examine the water inlet valve

The inlet valve controls the flow of water to the machine. If it is defective or blocked, it may prevent filling. It may need to be replaced.

5. Test the water level sensor

This sensor detects the amount of water in the tub. If it is faulty, the machine will not fill with water. Professional diagnosis may be required.

By following these steps, you will be able to identify the cause of the water filling issue with your CANDY CDI 2012-80 dishwasher and take appropriate action.

CANDY CDI 2012-80 - IMPORTANT - 1

WARNING!

To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, we recommend that the dishwasher is not moved or tilted during operation. If however it is necessary to tilt or move the dishwasher, please ensure that the washing cycle is complete and that there is no remaining water inside the dishwasher.

WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener

The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 90^ fH (French grading) or 50^ dH (German grading) through 6 different settings.

The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.
