Whirlpool WTW8000BW Guide D’Installation Rapide

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. 

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.

To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every  

5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for  

future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,  

cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

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

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

You will drain this in a later step.

Secure drain hose to laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or 

inlet hoses for wall standpipe with cable tie (A). This will help 

reduce the chance of drain water splashing on the floor. 

 Leveling your washer properly reduces excess 

noise and vibration.

front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot

 turns.

Move the washer to its final location. Rock the washer back  

and forth to check whether all four feet are stable and in firm 

contact with the floor. If the washer rocks, your model may  

be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the factory. It will  

be necessary to adjust the right front foot to level the washer. 

If all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor adjustments may 

be needed to level the washer on your floor.
