Check for leaks

Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this in a later step.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.

If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the remaining water inlet port.

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

3.Fasten the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or drain standpipe with the beaded tie strap. See view A or B.
