Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters

If the washer does not fill properly, an error
message will appear on the display. The inlet valve
filter screens could be clogged by hard water scale,
sediment in the water supply, or other debris.
WARNING
• The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the
inlet valve from being damaged by particles that
could enter the valves with the water supply.
Operating the washer with these filters removed
could cause a valve to open continuously,
resulting in flooding and/or property damage.
CAUTION
• Do not use the washer without the inlet filters.
Doing so will cause leaks and malfunction.
• If you use the washer in an area with hard water,
the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and
require more frequent cleaning.
1
Turn off the washer, and unplug the power
cord.
