Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters

If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris.

NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to fail to open, resulting in flooding and/or

property damage.

11. Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew the hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer.

IMPORTANT: ONLY use the inlet hoses provided with this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty.

2Carefully remove the filters from the water valves and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning.

3Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the filters back into place.

4Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and water lines by running several gallons of water through the hoses and into a bucket or drain.
