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.
NOTE: 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. Operat-
ing the washer with these filters removed could cause a
valve to stick open resulting in flooding and/or property
damage.
Hot
Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew
1
the hot and cold water lines from the back of the
washer.
IMPORTANT: Only use inlet hoses provided by KEN-
MORE. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or
function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly
and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to prod-
uct or property will not be covered under the terms
of the product warranty. Hoses can be ordered by
calling 1-844-553-6667 (U.S.A.) or 1-800-469-4663
