Whirlpool WTW8900BC Guía De Instalación Rápida

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, connect the drain hose 

form. For a floor drain, do not install drain hose form. You  

may need alternate parts with separate directions. See  

“Tools and Parts” to determine what you may need.
Feed hose into one end of form. Bend hose and feed through

other side, anchoring form on smooth sections of hose. The 

hose must extend 4.5" (114 mm) beyond the form.

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

of laundry tub.

 To keep drain water from going back into  

the washer:

 

■

Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose 

should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap  

for air.

 

■

Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry  

tub.

Make sure the washer basket is empty. Attach the hose  

labeled hot 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 the hose 

labeled cold for the cold water faucet. Both hoses must  

be connected for washer to work properly.

 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.

To avoid leaks, 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.
