If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a
wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

Be sure the water faucets are on.
11.
Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.
12.
If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is
recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water
system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog
different parts of the water system, which will reduce product
performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for
certain part replacement or repair.
