NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the
valve. Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
• Run water through both taps 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 filter.
• Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water tap and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water tap.
A. Drain hose refiefs
1. Feed end of drain hose into one end of form. Place end of
drain hose form into the drain hose relief.
2. Bend the hose over the top of the form and feed into the
other end of the form.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
• Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should
be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
