Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer detects 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.
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 with this
laundry product. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or
function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and
could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property
will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty.
2.
Carefully remove the filters from the water valves and soak
them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover, following the
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse thoroughly before
reinstalling.
Press the filters back into place and reattach the water lines.
