Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, the Warm LED may flash. The inlet valve filter screens could be clogged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris.
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 open continuously, resulting in flooding and/or property damage.
Do not use the washer without the inlet filters. Doing so it will cause leaks and malfunction.
If you use the washer in an area with hard water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and require more frequent cleaning.
Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord.
Turn off hot and cold water faucets.
Unscrew the hot and cold water hoses from the back of the washer.
Remove the filters from the water valves carefully.
Use pliers to pull out the filters from the water valves.
Remove foreign objects and soak the filters in white vinegar or a lime scale remover.
If using a lime scale remover, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning them.
Rinse filters thoroughly and press them back into place.
Flush then reattach the water hoses.
Before reattaching the water inlet hoses, flush them by running several gallons of water through them into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets wide open for maximum flow.
The Warm LED may flash when the water pressure is low or an inlet filter is clogged with dirt. Clean the inlet filter.
