Connect Inlet Hoses - Maytag MVW18MNBGW Installation Instructions Manual

CONNECT INLET HOSES

Insert new hose washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
NOTE: Use new hoses supplied with the washer. Do not reuse
old hoses.
Washer Coupling
Connect Inlet Hoses to Water Faucets
1. Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling until
it is seated on washer. Repeat process for cold water.
2. Use pliers to tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds
turn.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve
when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
Clear Water Lines
n Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
n 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.
Connect Inlet Hoses to Washer
1. Attach cold water hose to cold water inlet valve marked with
a blue ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.
2. Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with
a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.
3. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valve can result.
4. Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount
of water may enter washer. It will drain later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
