Maintaining the Air Gap
If you employed an air gap during the installation of your
washer, you need to clean the air gap at least once a
month. The air gap is not part of the washerd therefore, it
is not covered by the washer warranty. The air gap
protects the washer against water backing up in the event
of a clogged drain.
Most types of air gaps are easy to clean. Simply follow
the manufacturerps directions for maintaining your air gap.
Maintaining the Water Fill
Valve
The filter screen of the water fill valve, illustrated in
Figure 5-1 below, may require periodic cleaning to remove
trapped particles. A low water fill occurs if the blockage
is not removed.
Check the air gap for
build-up any time your
washer is not draining
well.
