TROUBLESHOOTING
Water leaking
Water inlet hose connection is loose at tap or appliance.
• Check hoses for leaks, cracks and splits.
• Tighten hose connections.
House drain pipes are clogged.
• The appliance pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up
out of the drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain,
check for proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the
drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
Drain hose has come out of drain or is not inserted far enough.
• Tie drain hose to supply hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out
during drain. For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as
far as the drain hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose
into the pipe 2.5 - 5 cm past the flange.
