AquaStop
t
The AquaStopt system is available in
select models only. AquaStopt
protects against flood-type water
leakage through the clothes washer.
This is accomplished using a
stop-valve in the AquaStopt hose and
a floating switch in the washer base.
If a leak is detected, the system is
designed to shut off the water flow,
minimizing leakage.
AquaStopt is an internal containment
technology, and does not protect
against outside forces, such as home
plumbing problems, or damage caused
to the machine's hose (such as
installation damage). The clothes
washer must be level and turned on"
for proper functionality.
q The AquaStopt feature is not
active and will not operate if the
cycle selector is in the Off"
position.
q The washer must be level for
correct Aquastop

operation.

Hose
The AquaStopt hose is an external
containment technology that prevents
potential flooding if the hose leaks.
If the AquaStopt hose leaks, a red
mark is displayed and the water inlet is
blocked.
q An Aquastopt hose that has
activated cannot be reset. Contact
Customer Service for a
replacement hose (see page 32).
Water drainage
NOTICE
Do not bend or pull the water
drainage hose.
The drain pipe height should be no
lower than 12 inches (30.5 cm) below
the top of the washer and no higher
than 5 feet (152.4 cm) from the top of
the washer .
Connecting the water
drainage hose
q Do not remove the screw from
the clamp assembly. Loosen the
screw only enough so that the
clamp will slide freely onto the
water drain hose.
1. Place the hose clamp over the end
of the drain hose before attaching
the drain hose to the appliance.
2. Attach the drain hose to the drain
hose connection on the
back of
the appliance; position the hose
clamp approximately 3/8 inch (9
mm) from the end of the hose.
3. Tighten the clamp with a
screwdriver.
In-Wall Installation
q Attach the elbow to the end of the
hose and insert the end of the
hose into the wall drain
approximately three and a half to
four inches. Do not allow the hose
to extend more than four inches
into the drain pipe.
q The hose and elbow should be
properly extended into the open
drain pipe when seated as shown
in the above picture. There should
be a gap between the drain hose
and the drain pipe to prevent
pressure buildup .
q Use a strap or cable tie to hold
hose in place. This is to keep the
hose from coming out of the drain
pipe during pump out. The hose
can be tied to one of the water
supply hoses, or other suitable
nearby points.
