3. Be sure water sup-
ply lines have been
thoroughly flushed.
4. Move washer to final
location. DO NOT let fill or drain hoses drag and
get under washer.
5. Adjust front leveling legs as necessary to level
washer. Front leveling legs are adjustable; if

necessary, re-
level. The washer
must rest firmly
on all four legs.
To “set” rear self-
leveling system,
tip washer for-
ward so that rear
base is about 4"
off the floor, then lower.

standpipe or other drain facility.
Note: Water may be drained into a standpipe. The
discharge height must not be less than 30 inches, nor
more than 6 feet above base of washer. Standpipe
must be 1-1/2" minimum inside diameter and must
be open to atmosphere.

Control Panel
The control panel is designed with ease of service
being the major consideration. The switches are tab
interlock, and harness connectors are designed to
only fit the correct mating connector. Control panel
is galvanized, with three tabs designed to allow the
switchtrim to be supported during service. Mini-
Manual is located in the control panel.
1. Remove four (4) T20H Torx screws from the top
of control panel as shown. (Mini-Manual can be
accessed from this position as illustrated.)
2. Water valve is serviceable by removing the (4)
T20H Torx screws from the top of the control
panel, and rotating the switchtrim forward. Two
1/4" hex screws mount the water valve to the
console. The water valve can be changed from
the front by first “pinching off” the inlet hoses
and pulling through back of control panel to
remove.
6. Align pc board, by inserting the counter end
under the tab in plastic pc board cover at the
counter opening, and moving towards the con-
nector end, carefully press into place, so that
each tab snaps into place. Reconnect harness
connector, and reinstall control panel and four
screws.
Note: Use care not to overflex the pc board, to
prevent breakage.
