Whirlpool GHW9200L, GHW9100L Route the Drain Hose, Connect the Inlet Hoses, Secure the Drain Hose

Page 12

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation.

1.Using a ½ in. (13 mm) wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

2.Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt and the cable attached to the bolt. The power cord will be at- tached to all 4 bolts.

3.Once all 4 bolts are removed, remove the power cord from each bolt holder, and discard bolts, plastic spacers, and cables.

4.Close the holes with the transport bolt hole plugs.

Route the Drain Hose

Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer.

To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:

Do not straighten the drain hose, and 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 laun dry tub.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. (See Floor Drain under “Alternate Parts You May Need.”)

Connect the Inlet Hoses

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets Make sure the washer basket is empty.

1.Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

2.Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand un- til it is seated on the washer.

3.Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an addi- tional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

4.Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose in- stallation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Secure the Drain Hose

1.Drape the power cord over the washer top.

2.Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the beaded strap provided. (See illustration.)

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the beaded strap around the water inlet hoses and the drain hose.

Do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe.
