2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and 

completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer 

 

covering the bolt. 

3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard bolt and spacers. Then pull 

the power cord through the opening of the rear panel and close 
the hole with the attached cap.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your 
local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage 

 

to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a 

 

certified technician.

1. Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. 

Firmly seat the washers in the couplings. 

2. Make sure the washer drum is empty.

3. Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the Hot (left) inlet 

valve. Attaching the red coupling first makes it easier to tighten 
connection with pliers. Screw on coupling by hand until it is 
seated on the washer.

4. Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the Cold (right) 

water inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated 

 

on the washer. 

 

5. Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings already 

attached to the washer.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

6. Attach hot water hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling 

by hand until it is seated on the washer.

7. Attach cold water hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on 

coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer. 

8. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional 

 

two-thirds turn.    

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

9. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks.

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

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

1. Use locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together and insert 

over the end of drain hose. 

2. Slide drain hose onto washer connection.    

3. Once drain hose is in place, release pliers.  

4. Washer drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall 

standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub.
