Top House TH601 washing machine does not enter water

I have a Top House front loading washing machine, Model TH601 which starts the wash cycle but does not enter water. It has 2 solenoid valves with a single water intake. At first I thought they would be the problem, so I measured their resistance and they were correct. Next step I could verify that walking the washing machine, they did not get energy. I measured the 3 wires (2 positive and 1 negative in common) and they all have continuity. I measured the voltage at the plate outlet and there is no voltage. To check if the solenoid valves worked I energized them with a direct line of 220v and they work correctly. Once the solenoid valves are discarded and seeing that there is no voltage at the outlet of the platelet, the question is where do I continue? From already thank you very much.

If it does not load water and does not give you an error, the problem is the platelet since the solenoid valve is not energizing

Thanks for the reply.
It is the first time that the washing machine does not work properly. How does it indicate the error ?, since it does not have a screen on which to see a code. On the other hand the lights that are on are the usual ones: On, wash and closed door.

Hello, unfortunately there is little information on these machines of Chinese origin brought by Coto, if you have the manual note that it says about common failures and try to choose a program and blow through the pressure switch sleeve to see if the engine starts or not, also make sure that even if the door is locked there is a return of tension to the plate, check this and comment, greetings.

The engine starts and works correctly, the problem is that it does it dry, without water. I have not tested the pressure switch, it must make contact internally to energize the plate? Greetings.

If it starts without water to be washed, it may be that the pressure switch is locked or damaged, pulls out the hose and listens if a click is heard, if it is done it is because it was locked and perhaps the capped sleeve.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to test the pressure switch and then comment.

I have tested the pressure switch and indeed when blowing it does not click. I replaced it with one that works with the same characteristics and the washing machine began to load water.
Conclusion: It was the damaged pressure switch (I fell apart and the diaphragm was cracked).
Thank you all for the contributions.

Thank you alturasbal for your collaboration to solve the problem.
I do not know if you have to put somewhere that the problem has been solved or with the explanation given above is enough. Greetings.
