Installing the Washer
Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and
Shipping Plug
Remove the shipping brace from under the lid.
The shipping plug will be released from the base of the
washer when removing the cardboard base from the
washer. Refer to Figure 2.
The shipping brace and plug should be saved and must
be reinstalled whenever washer is moved or
transported to a new location. This will prevent
damage to washer components.
Do not tilt washer to front or sides when moving.
Refer to User-Maintenance section for instructions on
reinstalling shipping brace and shipping plug.
Figure 1
NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day
(below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room
or area during the cold months, do not attempt to
operate it until the washer has had a chance to
warm up.
IMPORTANT: Install dryer before washer. This
allows room for attaching exhaust duct.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot water system has not been used
for such a period and before using the
washer, turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
W029
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, avoid contact
with inlet water temperatures higher than
125° Fahrenheit (51° Celsius) and hot
surfaces.
W748
WARNING
Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub
Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner or a
detergent and water solution and a damp cloth to
remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.
Figure 3
Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses
Water Supply Requirements
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch
(19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT
USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily
accessible to permit turning them off when washer
is not being used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75°
Fahrenheit (10° to 24° Celsius). Recommended
maximum hot water temperature is 125° Fahrenheit
(51° Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold
water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon the
water temperature and the pressure of both the hot and
cold water supply lines.
W396I
Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of
120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static
pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per
square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill
time in the washer.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
materials that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve. (This is especially important when
installing your washer in a newly constructed or
renovated building.)

Connecting Hoses
Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from
accessories bag) in water fill hose couplings (two
hoses supplied with washer). Connect fill hoses to
water supply faucets. Then connect the hoses to the
hot and cold valve connections at the rear of the
washer. Refer to Figure 4. Thread hose couplings onto
valve connections finger tight. Then turn 1/4 turn with
pliers.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or
overtighten couplings.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after
check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn
off water supply whenever there will be an
extended period of non-use.
NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with
the washer) are not long enough for the
installation. Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Fill Hose (8 feet) (2.44 m)
No. 20618 Fill Hose (10 feet) (3.05 m)
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets. Refer to Figure 5.

IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.
IMPORTANT: The drain hose installation is a very
important factor in the washer installation. If care
is not taken when the drain hose is installed, a
siphoning action can be started which will cause
water to be siphoned from the washer during the
cycle.
End of drain hose should never be in water as
siphoning action can be started that will cause
water to be siphoned back into the washer.
The curved end of drain hose MUST be installed
even with or above the height of the cabinet top of
the washer to prevent siphoning. Refer to Figure 6.
If necessary, follow the instructions for your type of
drain receptacle (high standpipe or low standpipe) to
properly install the drain hose.
High Standpipe Installation
NOTE: No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit and No. 25863
Hose Coupling are not required for this type of
installation.
The standpipe or drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) outside
diameter drain hose. The drain hose should fit loose
within the standpipe (it should not be snug fit). Never
install the drain hose into a “sealed” drain system as
air cannot escape and will restrict the water from being
drained from the washer. A sealed drain system may
also allow water to be pumped back into the washer
during agitation. Both of these conditions may result
in flooding of the washer.
Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on
the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the
retainer clamp.

IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) outside
diameter drain hose.
If the drain facility is lower than the cabinet top, a
siphon break kit, Part No. 562P3, must be installed in
the drain hose to prevent siphoning action and drain
hose MUST be cut to fit the washer installation. Refer
to Figure 8. Use one No. 25863 Hose Coupling to
splice hose. The No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit and No.
25863 Hose Coupling are available as optional
equipment at extra cost through an authorized dealer
or parts distributor. Installation instructions are
supplied with the kit.
OPTIONAL: Raise the standpipe to the recommended
height of 36 inches (91.44 cm).
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) outside
diameter drain hose.
If washer is not level, tilt washer back to access the
front leveling legs. Loosen the locknuts and adjust legs
by screwing into or out of washer base.
Once adjusted, tilt the washer forward on front legs
and lower back down into position to set the rear selfleveling legs.
Washer must not rock. After washer is at desired
height, tighten locknuts securely against bottom of
washer base. If these locknuts are not tight, washer
will not remain stationary during operation.
Improper installation or flexing of weak floor will
cause excessive vibration.
Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs
have been extended, as legs and base could become
damaged.
NOTE: For areas with uneven floors, a No. 566P3
Adjustable Rear Leg Extension Kit is available as
optional equipment at extra cost.
Verify that unit does not rock.

Step 8: Check Lid Switch
Washer should stop filling, agitating and spinning
when lid is opened.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the
washer – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If the laundry room’s electrical supply does not
meet the above specifications and/or if you are
not sure the laundry room has an effective
ground, have a qualified electrician or your local
electrical utility company check it and correct
any problems.
Step 7: Add Water to the Washer
To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before
adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer
is run before any water is added, the pump seal may
overheat, causing the pump to leak. Once installed, the
water retained in the drain system from the previous
cycle will provide sufficient cooling to prevent pump
seal damage.

off (refer to Tabl e 1 ), the fill error will not occur and
the control will continue to wait for the fill level to be
reached.
Drain Error
A Drain Error will occur if the tub is not empty after a
spin cycle. A Drain Error is indicated by the control
flashing the IN USE LED three times separated by a
one and a half second pause until the control is
powered down. If Error Mode is turned off (refer to
Tab le 1 ), the drain error will not occur and the machine
cycle will advance to the next cycle step as though the
water had been pumped out.
End of Cycle Mode
The control enters End of Cycle Mode when a cycle is
complete. The IN USE LED will be off. The control
will remain in this mode until the lid is opened or vend

quickly advance into a cycle and advance an active
cycle to a specific cycle step.
To enter Rapid Advance and advance through each
cycle step, open the meter case service door (on
metered models) or the control hood (on nonmetered
models), unplug the white bullet connector with the
black/white and gray/yellow wires on the hood wire
harness for at least one second, and then reconnect it.
Each time the connector is unplugged and
reconnected, the control will advance through the
following steps:
From Ready Mode, cycle will advance to wash
fill (start of cycle).
From wash fill or agitate, cycle will advance to
wash spin following a short pause. Wait for pause
and washer to spin before advancing to next step.
From wash spin, cycle will advance to rinse fill.
From rinse fill or agitate, cycle will advance to
final spin following a short pause. Wait for pause
and washer to spin before advancing to next step.
Setting Dipswitch
Cycle settings can be changed using the 8-Position
dipswitch mounted on the control. The control reads
the dipswitch settings at power-up. The control must
be powered down to change the dipswitch settings.
The control is shipped from the factory with all the
switches in the OPEN position. Refer to the table
below for dipswitch settings.
Switch 1 is used to select whether a long or short cycle
will be used. Switch 2 is used to turn Error Mode on or

Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the
control panel. Some cleaning products may harm the
finish on the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after
cleaning.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent,
bleach or other washing products are spilled on the
cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause
permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
The washtub will need no particular care though it
may need rinsing or wiping after some unusual loads
have been washed. This also may be necessary if too
little detergent has been used.
Reinstallation of Shipping Materials
Shipping Brace
The shipping brace in the lid opening should be saved
and reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To
reinstall the brace, open the washer lid and place the
brace over the washer agitator, placing the back of the
brace into the lid opening first.
Shipping Plug
The plastic shipping plug should be saved and
reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits
into two openings: The base opening and the shipping
plug opening on the bottom of the movable pivot
dome. The plug MUST be inserted into both openings
to prevent damage to the washer. In order to
accomplish this, the shipping plug opening must be
directly lined up with the base opening. Refer to
Figure 51.
Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the washer to
dry out after use. This helps prevent musty odors from
developing.
The agitator should not be removed except for service.
The washtub is designed to be self cleaning.
Replacing Hoses
Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after
extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or
material wear from the temperature and constant high
pressure they are subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
