Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer does not
fi
ll properly, an error message will
show on the display. The inlet valve
fi
lter 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
fi
lters removed could cause a valve to
stick open resulting in
fl
ooding and/or property damage.
Carefully remove the
fi
lters 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
fi
lters while cleaning.
Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the
fi
lters
back into place.
Before reattaching the hoses,
fl
ush the hoses and
water lines by running several gallons of water
through them into a bucket or drain.
