the shipping strap around the drain
hose and laundry tub or standpipe as
shown in Figures A and B. Push plug into
the nearest hole in the shipping strap.
If the water inlet faucets and drain
standpipe are recessed, put “hook” end
of drain hose in standpipe. Tightly wrap
the shipping strap around the drain
hose and faucet body (not the handles
or stems) as shown in Figure C. Push plug
into the nearest hole in the shipping
strap.
Hose must be cut exactly to length so
“hook” end is held tightly over edge of
standpipe.
If drain hose cannot be strapped in
place, it must be cut exactly to
length so the “hook” end is held
tightly over the edge of the
tub or standpipe. See
Figure D.
If a longer drain hose is
needed, drain hose (Part
No. 388423) and hose
extension kit (Part No.

from a Whirlpool-
authorized
parts
distributor. If
drain hose
must be
shortened,

Note: If washer/dryer is moved to adjust
drain hose, the washer/dryer must be
leveled again. Repeat Steps 15-17.
Place cardboard under the
