Panasonic Washing Machine U14 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0–$75 · Duration: 10–15m

The U14 error means your Panasonic washing machine tried to fill with water but could not reach the required level within 20 minutes. This is almost always a water supply issue rather than a machine fault. Common causes include a closed water tap, a kinked inlet hose, a clogged inlet filter screen, or low water pressure. Most of these are quick to check and fix yourself.

Common causes

Water supply tap is turned off or not fully open
Water supply hose is kinked, bent, or not connected properly
Inlet filter screen is clogged with rust, sand, or sediment
Household water supply has been cut off
Water pressure from the household supply is too low
Water inlet valve has malfunctioned or failed

1

Make sure the water supply tap is fully open
2

Check the inlet hose for any kinks or bends and straighten them out
3

Turn off the tap, disconnect the inlet hose, remove the filter screen and rinse it clean under running water
4

5

Open and close the lid to reset the error and restart the cycle

If U14 keeps returning after checking the tap and hose contact a technician to inspect the water inlet valve
