The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new 
inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

1. Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

2. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new 

rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female 
end of the “Y” connector to the cold water faucet.

NOTE: If “Y” connector can be attached directly to cold water 
faucet, go to Step 6. If “Y” connector cannot be attached 
directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. 
Continue with Step 3.

3. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by 

hand until it is seated on 
faucet. 

4. Using pliers, tighten the 

couplings with an 
additional two-thirds turn. 

NOTE: Do not overtighten. 

 

Damage to the coupling 
can result.

5. Attach “Y” connector to 

brass male end of small 
hose. Screw on coupling 
by hand until it is seated 
on connector.

6. Attach straight end of long 

hose to “Y” connector.

7. Attach washer cold inlet 

hose to other end of “Y” 
connector. Screw on 
coupling by hand until it is 
seated on connector.

8. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn.

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

9. Attach angled end of long 

hose to fill valve at bottom 
of dryer back panel. 
Screw on coupling by 
hand until it is seated on 
fill valve connector. 

10. Using pliers, tighten the 

coupling an additional 
two-thirds turn.

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

11. Check that the water faucets are on.

12. Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses. 

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, 
then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a 
wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, 

 

go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

2. Check that you have all of your tools.
3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 
4. Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed 

 

or kinked.

5. Check that the dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”
6. Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape 

remaining on the dryer.

7. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to 

remove any dust.

8. Read “Dryer Use.”
9. For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded outlet. 

For direct wire installation, turn on power.

10. Be sure the water faucets are on.

11. Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.

12. If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is 

recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water 
system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog 
different parts of the water system, which will reduce product 
performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for 
certain part replacement or repair.

13. Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and start the dryer. Do not select 

the Air Only Temperature setting.

See “Troubleshooting.”

If you receive an AF code, your dryer vent may be crushed or
