Whirlpool W10200890B Installation Instruction

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of   

laundry tub.

 No more than 4.5" (113 mm) of drain hose 

should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into 

standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form  

must be used.

Check that your water inlet hoses have flat 

washers at both ends. Washer must be connected to water 

faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided).  

Do not use old hoses. Do not use hoses without washers.

Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand 

until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an 

additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose 

for cold water faucet. 

 Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on 

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

 Make note of which hose is connected to hot 

water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry  

tub, drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run  

until clear.

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling  

by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an  

additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.

 Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on 

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses 

every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for 

future reference.
n

   Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,  

      wear, or leaks are found.

 Inlet valves may be arranged vertically or horizontally 

depending on your model.

Turn on water faucets to check for leaks from faucet and at  

washer connection. A small amount of water may enter washer. 

This is normal; it will drain later.
