Cleaning the Water Inlet
Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, an error message
will show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens
could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in
the water supply, or other debris.
CAUTION
• 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 stick open resulting in
flooding and/or property damage
• If you use the washer in an area with hard water,
the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup.

Unscrew the hot and cold water hoses from
the back of the washer.

Carefully remove the filters from the water
valves.

damage the filters while cleaning them.

into place.

Flush then reattach the water hoses.
Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and
water lines by running several gallons of water
into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets
wide open for maximum flow.
