Cleaning the water inlet strainers
If the washer water supply slows or stops completely, the
water inlet strainer may be blocked. Cleaning is
recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce
chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water.
Normal water pressure from your home, that remains in
the supply hoses after turning off the taps, will cause a
small amount of water to drip out when you remove the
water supply hose from the back of the washer. Be sure
to close the taps completely before removing the supply
hoses to minimize the amount of water.
Clean the strainers at the water tap end of the hose
1.
Remove the hose from the tap.
2.
Rinse the strainer under running water. Look at the
strainer to see if any visible debris is still present.
Rinse again if necessary to remove the debris.
3.
Reconnect the hose to the tap.

3.

NOTICE
Check for leaks to be sure the rubber washers are seated
at both ends of the water supply hose and the
connections are properly tightened.
