Connect Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.
The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside
the washer cabinet.
Remove drain hose from washer cabinet
Gently pull the corrugated drain hose out of the washer from the
top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges.
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connecting the drain hose form to the corrugated
drain hose
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.
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.”
Connect the Inlet Hoses
The washer must be connected to the water faucets using new
inlet hoses (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
Insert new flat washers into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly
seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
1. Attach hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
2.
Attach hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
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 faucets 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 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.
