Whirlpool Duet W10254043C User Manual

■

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

WARNING

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is 
within approximately 3 ft (900 mm) of its final location.
There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the 
suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain 
the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

1. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

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.

4. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.
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.
