Coupling washer

Use new hoses and washers that came with your Whirlpool washer.

2.Insert a flatwasher into each end of the inlet hoses. Check that washers are firmly seated in couplings.

Inlets are plastic. Do Not strip or crossthread.

3.Attach hose to bottom inlet valve opening first. Then second hose to top inlet. Tighten couplings by hand; then use pliers to make an additional two-thirds turn.

Slide washer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving across floor.

5.Place hose clamp over washer drain connector. Push drain hose onto washer connector. use pliers to open clamp and slide clamp over drain hose. Check for good fit.

40.6 cm (16")

6.Measure and mark a point approximately 40.6 cm (16 inches) from the plug end of the shipping strap. Cut this shipping strap at this point.

Put “hook” end of drain hose into standpipe. Tightly wrap the shipping strap around the standpipe. Push plug into the nearest hole in the shipping strap.

Check that hose is not twisted or kinked and is securely in place.

9.Stack two corner posts on top of each other. Tilt washer backwards and insert corner posts 7.6 cm

(3 inches) in from one side of washer as shown. Repeat with other corner posts on other side of washer.

1.3cm (1/2")

base

nut

10.Use legs and nuts from parts package. Screw nut down to within 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) of base.

11.

Insert legs into correct holes at each front corner of washer

until nuts touch washer. Do Not tighten nuts until Step 14.

12.Tilt washer backward and remove corner posts. Gently lower washer to floor.

Move washer to its permanent location. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under washer.

4.Move washer close to final position. Put “hook” end of drain hose into standpipe. Estimate length of drain hose needed when washer is in final position. Hose must be cut exactly to length so “hook” end is held tightly over edge of standpipe. If drain hose is too long, cut straight end of hose. (Do Not cut “hook” shaped end of drain hose.)

DO NOT FORCE EXCESS LENGTH OF

DRAIN HOSE DOWN THE STANDPIPE.

THIS COULD CAUSE SIPHONING. See

7.Before attaching water inlet hoses, run water through both faucets into a bucket. This will get rid of particles in water lines that might clog hoses. Mark which is the hot water faucet.

8.Attach bottom hose (inlet marked “H”) to hot water faucet. Attach top hose (inlet marked “C”) to cold water faucet. Tighten coupling to faucet by hand; then use pliers to make final two-thirds turn.

13.Tilt washer forward raising back legs 2.5 cm (1 inch) off of floor. To adjust rear self-leveling legs, gently lower washer to floor. Check levelness of the washer by placing a carpenter’s level on top of the washer, first side to side; then front to back.
