MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters If the washerdetects that water is not entering the dispenser, an error message will show on the display. Inlet valve filter screens could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, plumbing scale, etc. NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the fill valve from being damaged by particles that may get into the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer with the filters removed could cause a valve to fail open resulting in flooding and/or property damage. Inlet Filter 1. Turn OFF both water taps completely. Unscrew the hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer. IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided withthis laundry product.
