Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, an error message
will show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens
could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the
water supply, or other debris.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of
the inlet valve from being damaged by particles that
could enter the valves with the water supply. Operating
the washer with these filters removed could cause a
valve to stick open resulting in flooding and/or property
damage.
1
Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew the
hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer.

Carefully remove the filters from just inside the
water valves and soak them in white vinegar or a
lime scale remover, following the manufacturer's
instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters
while cleaning.
3 Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the filters
back into place.
4
Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and
water lines by running several gallons of water into
a bucket or drain.
