Water Inlet Hose And Filter; Detergent Dispenser; Care And Maintenance - Whirlpool WWDC 6400 Instructions For Use Manual

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the washing machine before doing any maintenance.

Detergent dispenser

Clean the detergent dispenser regularly, at least three or
four times a year, to prevent detergent build-up:
1. Push in the buttons on each side of the dispenser.
2. Pull the dispenser towards you and remove it.
A small quantity of water can remain in the dispenser. It is
advisable to carry the dispenser in an upright position.
3. Wash the dispenser using running water.
You can also remove the siphon caps in the dispenser for cleaning.
4. Replace the siphon caps in the dispenser (if removed).
Make sure that they lock in place.
5. Replace the dispenser by locating the bottom tabs in the lid
holes and pivot until both of the upper buttons lock.
Note: ensure that the detergent dispenser is correctly
reinstalled.
Water inlet hose filter
Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year).
1. Unplug the washing machine.
2. Turn off the tap.
3. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
4. Carefully clean the filter located at the end of hose, without
disassembling it, for example with a tooth-brush.
Note: Do not submerge the hose in water.
5. Screw the flexible hose back onto the tap by hand. Do not use
pliers (risk of squashing the joint).
6. Turn on the tap and check that the connections are
water-tight.
7. Plug the washing machine back in.
Water inlet hose (A, B or C, depending on model)
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and
replace it if necessary using a new hose of the same type.
The inlet hose as shown on picture "A" has a safety valve to
prevent the appliance against uncontrolled water inlet; if the
safety valve inspection window is red, the safety valve has been
activated and the hose must be exchanged. Contact out After-
Sales Service or your specialist dealer to obtain a new inlet hose.
For unscrewing the inlet hose as shown on picture "A", you must push
down the release lever while unscrewing it.
If your inlet hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. "B"),
periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. If the
transparent hose shows a local dark colour change, this is an
indication that the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.
Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist dealer to
obtain a replacement hose.
