Service manual for Washing Machine
Follow the followings STEP by STEP to ensure a successful installation.
STEP 1: Select a location
Before you install the washer, make sure the location:
- Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
- Is away from direct sunlight.
- Has adequate ventilation.
- Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperature under 32°F or 0 °C.
- Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.
- Has enough space so that the washer doesn't rest on its power cord.
STEP 2: Connect the water hose
The water supply hoses are not supplied with your washer and must be purchased separately. Before installing
the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of each new water
hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage. When you initially install
the washer, be sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage
your property. Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose.
Hoses connected this way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a hose is too short, replace the
hose with a longer, high pressure hose.
1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets.
2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with
a wrench.
When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply
intakes. This can damage the fittings. After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure
that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.
3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets connected to the two water supply
hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing.
4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of the washer.
The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the
