Semens iq 1430 not taking up softener

My machine has stopped softening. I have steam cleaned and tooth brushed the water outlet (used to fix it) but no improvement. Could it be the water inlet valve, please?

    If a machine has been designed to cold fill it cannot be supplied with hot water, this would waste hot water on the rinse cycles. The machine is designed to heat the correct amount of water and to the correct temperature and will do this very efficiently.
