Maintenance; Cleaning The Water Inlet Filters - Kenmore 402.4903 Series Use & Care Manual

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If the washer detects that water is not entering the dispenser, an error message will show on the display. Inlet valve filter screens could be
plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, plumbing scale, etc.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the fill valve from being damaged by particles that may get into the valves with the
water supply. Operating the washer with the filters removed could cause a valve fail to open resulting in flooding and/or property damage.
1.Turn OFF both water taps completely. Unscrew the hot and cold
water lines from the back of the washer.
iMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided with this laundry
product. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function
correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause
leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property wilt not be
covered under the terms of the product warranty.
