Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of
water might enter the washer. You will drain this later.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future
reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear
or leaks are found.

1. Remove the power cord from the rear panel of the washer
and drape the cord over the console.

cardboard used to move washer.

put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly

hose.

washer.
Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and

top of the washer, first side-to-side, then front-to-back.

adjust the feet up or down as necessary. If the washer is
against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping
back. Repeat this step until the washer is level.

extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was
