Pinch the two tabs exposed on the outer edge of the outer tub spout and press the injector into the tub. Reverse the previous steps to replace the injector. FRONT WATER FLUME INJECTOR As water is filling the dispenser assembly, water is also diverted to a hose leading to the front of the outer tub. As the water enters the top of the outer tub through the hose, it passes through a water flume. The flume directs the water toward the front of the tub to saturate the clothes load.
