dish washer fault

On starting there is a red light with a single flashing light indicating a lack of water supply to my dish-washer. Having checked the water inlet to the filter which is clear, what further cause could give rise to fault.

"Possibly a kink in the hose or many have a mesh filter on the inside (usually where the hose screws onto the machine) could be that that is clogged and reducing the amount of water passing through"

"Clear and straightforward

It could be a kink in the hose. Many hoses also have a mesh filter on the inside (usually where the hose screws onto the machine), and that can get clogged and reduce the water flow.

More concise

Check for a kink in the hose. There may also be a mesh filter where the hose connects to the machine that could be clogged and restricting water flow.

Slightly more explanatory

It might be a kink in the hose, or the mesh filter inside the hose connection (usually where it screws onto the machine) could be clogged, which would reduce the amount of water passing through."
