Troubleshooting, Water Inlet Hoses | Whirlpool CAWX629JQ1 guide

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

Vacation, Storage and Moving Care

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:

■Unplug washer or disconnect power.

■Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

To winterize washer

1.Shut off both water faucets.

2.Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3.Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

4.Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see “Drain and Spin”) for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.

5.Unplug washer or disconnect power.

To use washer again

1.Flush water pipes and hoses.

2.Reconnect water inlet hoses.

3.Turn on both water faucets.

4.Plug in washer or reconnect power.

5.Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

the cost of a service call...

Washer won’t fill, rinse or agitate

■Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly and pull to start.

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Is the water inlet hose kinked?

■Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer appear to not fill completely?

The top of the agitator is much higher than the highest water level. This creates a perception that the washer is not filling completely. This is normal.
