Kenmore Washer 796.4147 Benutzerhandbuch

If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will 

show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could 

be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water  

supply, or other debris.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the 

inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could 

enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the 

washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to 

fail to open, resulting in flooding and/or  

property damage.

1. Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew the   

    hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer.
IMPORTANT: ONLY use the inlet hoses provided with 

this laundry product. Aftermarket hoses are not 

guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may 

not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent 

damage to product or property will not be covered under 

the terms of the product warranty.

      Carefully remove the filters from the water valves    

      and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale  

      remover, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Be   

      careful not to damage the filters while cleaning. 
      Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the filters    

      back into place.
      Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and  

      water lines by running several gallons of water          

      through the hoses and into a bucket or drain.
