Bosch wrf2860 water tap closed?

Hi we have a bosch wrf2860 that shows water tap closed fault on any wash other than 30c, could it be cold water inlet valve?

Thanks

I can guess why - but I have no experience - I just guess.

Normal Domestic Hot Water is heated to at least 60°C to kill any bugs in it. If you were doing a Hot wash your machine would open the hot water fill valve and bob would be your uncle....

But if you were doing a 30° wash the cold fill valve would be opened and the water heated to temperature.

Consider what might happen if the Hot Fill Valve developed a fault - you would be unaware of the fault whenever doing a cold wash but on a Hot wash cycle the pressure switch that shows sufficient water in the machine would never be satisfied - the washing cycle would not commence.

How does that sound?

Just guessing...

Found what????? That link doesn't tell me anything! I've checked the hoses/filters/pressure etc, I can't understand why it would only work on a 30c cycle 😕
