Installation Instructions

Full Size Automatic Washer
Before beginning installation, carefully read these instructions. This will simplify the installation and ensure the washer is installed correctly and safely. Leave these instructions near the washer after installation for future reference.
NOTE: The electrical service to the washer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools Required for Installation:

1. 3/8 in. socket with ratchet.
2. Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
3. Carpenter’s level.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY – 2 wire, with ground, 120 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE – Properly grounded 3-prong receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the washer is in an installed position.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded type replace it with a properly grounded three prong grounding type receptacle.
3. For added personal safety, connect a separate ground wire (No. 18 minimum) from a top panel hinge screw on the rear of the washer to a grounded cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe.
4. Grounded cold water pipe MUST have metal continuity to electrical ground and MUST register no more than 25 ohms resistance. It MUST not be interrupted by plastic, rubber, or other electrical insulating connectors such as hoses, fittings, washers, gaskets (including water meter or pump). Any electrically insulated connector should be jumped with a length of No. 4 copper wire securely clamped to bare metal at both ends with a UL approved ground clamp.
5. If a grounded water pipe is not available, a ground rod MUST be used and register no more than 25 ohms resistance when in the ground. Drive the rod into the ground outside the dwelling and connect a grounding wire (12 AWG or heavier) between the grounding screw and the grounding rod. It may take more than one ground rod to not exceed 25 ohms resistance to ground.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.) Your water department can advise you of your water pressure. The hot water temperature should be about 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gallons (64.3 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18 cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:
   Minimum height: 33 in. (61 cm)
   Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm)

NOTE: For installations requiring a longer drain hose, have a qualified technician install a longer drain hose according to your model number. For drain systems in the floor, install a syphon break kit, P/N 5377678100. Both parts are available from an authorized parts distributor.

ROUGH-IN DIMENSIONS

LOCATION OF YOUR WASHER

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR WASHER:

1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions. The ambient temperature should never be below 60 degrees F (15.6 degrees C) for proper washer operation.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains or drapes.
3. In an area (garage or garage-type building) where gasoline of other flammables are kept or stored (including automobiles).
4. On carpet. Floor MUST BE SOLID with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.54 cm). To ensure vibration or movement does not occur,
   REINFORCEMENT of the floor may be necessary.
   IMPORTANT MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES When installed in alcove: Sides = 0″ (0 cm),
   Rear = 0″ (0 cm), Top = 20″ (50.8 cm).
   When installed in closet: Sides = 0″ (0 cm),
   Rear = 0″ (0 cm), Top = 20″ (50.8 cm), Front = 1″(2.54 cm).
   Closet door ventilation openings required: 2 louvers each 60 square inches (387 cm 2 ) — 3 inches (7.6 cm) from bottom and top of door.

UNPACKING

1. Using the four shipping carton corner posts (two on each side), carefully lay the washer on its left side and remove foam shipping base.
2. Using a ratchet with 3/8″ socket, remove the mechanism shipping bolt and plastic spacer block from the center of the base.
3. Return the washer to an upright position.
4. Remove the tape holding the lid shut and open the lid.
5. Remove the foam tub blocking pad.
6. Remove the inlet hoses (some models have inlet hoses already attached to the water valve) and enclosure package from the tub.
   NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, the tub blocking pad, shipping bolt, and plastic spacer block should be retained.
7. From the back of the washer, remove the wire shipping clips securing the drain hose and power cord. On some models, PLASTIC CLAMPS secure the drain hose to the right side of the washer backsheet. These clamps form a standpipe to prevent water siphoning. DO NOT REMOVE THESE CLAMPS.
8. Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet of the final location for the start of the installation.

INSTALLATION

1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog up the water valve screens.
2. Check inlet hoses to ensure that the rubber washers are installed in each end (If your washer has inlet hoses already attached to the water valve, proceed to step 4).
3. Carefully connect the inlet hoses to the water valve (on the left side of the washer cabinet), tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
   CAUTION
   DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS.
4. Determine which water faucet is the HOT water faucet and carefully connect the bottom inlet hose to the HOT water faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the top inlet hose to the COLD
   water faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
   CAUTION
   DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS. Turn the water on and check for leaks at both connections.
5. Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly leveling the washer. For free standing installation and with the washer in it’s final position, place a level on top of the washer.
   Adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner. Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg so the washer is SOLID on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer.
6. Form a “U” shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose pointed toward the drain. On some models, a wire retainer needs to be assembled on the hose in that position. Place the formed end in a laundry tub or a standpipe and secure with a cable tie provided in the enclosure package.
   NOTE: The standpipe inside diameter must be 1-1/4″ (3.18 cm) minimum. There must be an air gap around the drain hose in the standpipe. A snug hose fit can cause a siphoning action.
7. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
   NOTE: Check to ensure the power is off at a circuit breaker/ fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.
8. Turn on the power at a circuit breaker/fuse box.
9. Read the Operating Instructions and Owner’s Guide provided with the washer. They contain valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money.
10. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check for water leaks and proper operation.
11. If your washer does not operate, please review the “Avoid Service Checklist” located in your Owner’s Guide before calling for service.
12. Place these instructions in a location near the washer for future reference.
    NOTE: A wiring diagram is located inside the washer console.
