Grounding Information

The washer must be grounded. In the event of

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electric shock by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current.
The washer is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a 3-prong

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided with the washer - if it

will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the

polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading

is measured other than that in Figure 13, the

qualified electrician should correct the problem.

NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the

control hood.

Step 7: Add Water to the Washer

To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before

adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer

is run before any water is added, the pump seal may

overheat causing the pump to leak. Once installed, the

water retained in the drain system from the previous

cycle will provide sufficient cooling to prevent pump

seal damage.

NOTE: The agitator should not be removed except

for service. The washtub is designed to be self-

cleaning.

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or service person if you are in

doubt as to whether the washer is

properly grounded.
