Installation (1997) - Maytag LAT2300 Service Manual

INSTALLATION (1997) DEPENDABLE CARE
The following installation procedures outline those procedures which are unique to the
new 1997 Maytag Automatic washer line. Otherwise, the installation procedures are
the same as those outlined on pages 1-3 thru 1-13, in the automatic washer service
manual, part no. 16001145.
Drain Facility
When installing the drain hose, the hose
must be elevated, This can be done by
placing the drain hose in a standpipe no
less than 36" high. The inside diameter of
the standpipe should be no less than
1-112". Always avoid a tight fit between
the drain hose and standpipe to prevent
the chance of siphoning water from the
washer. The loop in the drain hose must
always be above the maximum water
level in the washer.
If a 36" standpipe is not available, place
the drain hose into the clip on the back of
the washer cabinet. Then add a drain
hose extension from the gooseneck to
the standpipe. For floor drain installa-
tions, a 201112 siphon break (accessory)
should be installed. To install the siphon
break:
1. Hold the siphon break in place and cut
the drain hose. Assemble the drain
hose to the siphon break with clamp
as shown. The closed end of the
siphon break should point up.
2. Mount the siphon break and drain
hose going to drain facility as shown
securing hose clamp screw through
the hole provided at the upper left
rear panel of the cabinet.
Note·
when the drain hose is placed into
the standpipe there must not be a lot of
excessive hose left over which is allowed
to loop around on the floor. This condi-
tion can cause a kinked drain hose result-
ing in slow draining. REMOVE EXCESS
