Whirlpool W10392127B-SP User Manual

For non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using  

the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

Check and see if rubber washer is in the “Y” connector. 

Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with 

new rubber washer provided. 

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust 

hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location 

using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps 

to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other 

fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure 

vent, because they can catch lint.

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
