LeakSmart Washing Machine Kit
How to Operate your Control Panel
1. Top button opens LeakSmart Valves
2. Middle button closes LeakSmart Valves
3. Bottom button mutes the audible alarm that
sounds when a leak is detected
Testing Your LeakSmart System
1. Push the Open button on the Control Panel to make sure the LeakSmart Valves are open.
• When the LeakSmart Valves are opening or closing, you will hear the valve motor operating for
a few seconds.
2. Saturate a rag with water and squeeze over Leak Sensor, or dip the Leak Sensor into a small bucket of
water. Once the Leak Sensor is wet, it will signal the LeakSmart Valves to close, the washing machine will
stop filling up, an audible alarm will sound, and a red light will flash.
• Push the Mute button to silence the alarm, and note that the red light will continue to flash. This means
the LeakSmart Valves are closed, and will remain closed until you push the Open button.
• Before the LeakSmart Valves can be opened, the Leak Sensor needs to be dry. There is no need to
unplug the AC Power Adaptor when drying off the Leak Sensor.
• The water test can be done with the paper sleeve still on the Leak Sensor. Note that the paper sleeve is
reusable, but once it gets wet, you will need to let it dry before placing it back on the Leak Sensor.

Helpful Hints

• If the Leak Sensor paper sleeve is misplaced or becomes unusable, a paper towel can be used
in its place.
• The Leak Sensor has two sets of prongs so you can connect additional Leak Sensors
(sold separately). You can link them together so they are positioned at different locations around
your laundry area.
• Once a month, the LeakSmart Valves will automatically close and then open by themselves. The
Control Panel is programmed to run this cycle so that the valves continue to function properly in
the event that they need to shut off the water.
• Hanging Wires may be tied together using twist ties (Twist ties not provided).
