Hotpoint Aquarius df22p, ages to fill

[ChrisR]

While investigating something else I discovered the water entry rate is not much more than a dribble. It takes about 30 mins to fill.
The inlet filter isn't blocked, neither's the matrix on the left.
Mains is about 3 bar.
Seems to be restricted in the inlet valve then?
Should it take that long?

Chris, you could try disconnecting the pipe that connects the inlet valve to the soap tray - if its still a trickle, there's the problem.
Reminds me of a puzzler I had a few weeks back....the washer wouldn't fill and it turned out that the new fill pipe was blocked by a shard of plastic during manufacture. Could hardly believe it!

Dishwasher not WM John. Water seems to go in through a large matrix of tubery with mysterious siphons, on the left side. Couldn't find much in the way of stuff to block things.
I can't remember if it used to be quicker. Maybe there's a reason why it/they fill(s) so slowly.

No way 30 mins to fill, Chris....my own machine seems to fill at the same rate as the washer.

Check the black hose on the base that goes from metering tank to sump. It gets blocked up with fat and grease.
