Connect The Inlet Hoses - Whirlpool WASHER Installation Instructions Manual

If drain hose does not fit into standpipe or if placing over
the edge of a laundry tub:
Insert end of coupling onto the drain hose extension. Using
pliers, install hose clamp.
Then slide the second hose clamp over end of drain hose.
Insert end of coupling onto the end of the drain hose. Using
pliers, install second hose clamp over coupling.
To prevent 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.
Floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain hose.
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under "Tools and
Parts."

Clear the water lines

tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
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.
