Make sure the washer basket is empty. Attach hose to the hot
water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on
the washer. Attach hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer. Using pliers,

water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens. Check the
temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose
is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water
hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
