    Washing Machine problem

    Hi, We just installed a washing machine, a relative did it who has done several during their lifespan and has never encountered any issues. However we have just moved into a new property and installed one, but we cannot get any water flow to it. Water around the house works fine, including the hot water. Any ideas??
